About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Open Label Responder Treatment Period With a Randomized, Blinded, Three-Period Crossover, Followed by an Open Label Safety Period to Evaluate the Clinical Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Investigational Drug MP-101 (Opium Tincture and Opium Tincture With Reduced Uncharacterized Material) to Treat Chronic Diarrhea in Subjects With Short Bowel Syndrome Who Have Had an Inadequate Response to Anti-Diarrheals

MP-101 will be evaluated in this study to see if it is safe, tolerable, and can help people with Short Bowel Syndrome. This study will also find out if taking MP-101 can improve the symptoms of Short Bowel Syndrome and reduce the number of times subjects experience bowel movements.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of responders between Treatments A and B for the Intent-To-Treat (ITT) population

    30% or greater reduction in 24-hour stool volume from baseline

    Measured: Last day of Periods 1 (Days 16-17) and 2 (Days 25-26)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of responders between Treatments A and B for the Modified-Intent-To-Treat (mITT) population

    30% or greater reduction in 24-hour stool volume from baseline for subjects who complete both periods 1 and 2 of the randomized, blinded, crossover portion of the study

    Measured: Last day of Periods 1 (Days 16-17) and 2 (Days 25-26)

  2. Establish non-inferiority of the percentage of responders between Treatment A and Treatment C

    30% or greater reduction in stool volume from baseline between Treatment A (with uncharacterized material) and Treatment C (with reduced uncharacterized material) for ITT and mITT efficacy population (subjects from the ITT population who complete both Treatments A and C)

    Measured: Last day of Period 3 (Day 34-35)

  3. 24-hour stool volume comparison between Treatment A and B for ITT and mITT

    Comparison of stool volume measurements

    Measured: Last day of Periods 1 (Day 16-17) and 2 (Day 25-26)

  4. 24-hour fecal events between Treatment A and B for ITT and mITT

    Changes in the number of 24-hour fecal events for ITT and mITT

    Measured: Period 1 (Day 10-16) and 2 (Day 19-25)

  5. 24-hour nocturnal fecal events between Treatment A and B for ITT and mITT

    Changes in the number of 24-hour nocturnal (ad defined for each subject) fecal events for ITT and mITT

    Measured: Period 1 (Day 10-16) and 2 (Day 19-25)

  6. Single and multiple dose Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters

    Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of morphine, codeine, thebaine and papaverine after single dose and multiple dose administration of MP-101

    Measured: Day-1, Day 1, Day 7, Day 57-59

  7. Number of Participants with Adverse Events

    Review of safety events throughout the course of the study

    Measured: Up to 60 Days

  8. Number of Participants Up-Titrated

    Review of safety events throughout the course of the study

    Measured: Days 35-60

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Opium Tincture USP Deodorized in people with Short Bowel Syndrome and Short Gut Syndrome, run by Marathon Pharmaceuticals, LLC at 5 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of responders between Treatments A and B for the Intent-To-Treat (ITT) population (time frame: Last day of Periods 1 (Days 16-17) and 2 (Days 25-26)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2015.
