Trial summary

Patients who require screening colonoscopy will receive an intraluminal spraying of NPO-13 per contraction region of large bowel up to fifth times during the colonoscopy. The efficacy of NPO-13 will be evaluated based on the proportion of the splayed region with no contraction after NPO-13 dosage (primary outcome… Read more about this study

About this study

Patients who require screening colonoscopy will receive an intraluminal spraying of NPO-13 per contraction region of large bowel up to fifth times during the colonoscopy.

The efficacy of NPO-13 will be evaluated based on the proportion of the splayed region with no contraction after NPO-13 dosage (primary outcome measure). The colonic spasm will be assessed by an independent committee using recorded video images.

The safety of NPO-13 will be evaluated based on adverse events and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) observed between administration and seven days after administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of the splayed region with no contraction after NPO-13 dosage

    Measured: 3 min

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The proportion of the splayed region with an onset of action

    Measured: 3 min

  2. The proportion of patients with no contraction in all the sprayed regions

    Measured: 3 min

  3. The proportion of patients with no contraction in one or more the sprayed region

    Measured: 3 min

  4. Change in colonic contraction

    Measured: 3 min

  5. Adverse events and ADRs observed between administration and 7 ± 3 days after administration

    Measured: up to 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NPO-13 in people with Bowel Disease, run by Nihon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd at 3 sites in Japan.

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 3 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The proportion of the splayed region with no contraction after NPO-13 dosage (time frame: 3 min). 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 16 Nov 2021.
