About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of CB-01-11 200mg Tablets in Infectious Diarrhoea. A Pilot, Dose Finding, Double-blind, Randomized, Multicentre Study

To assess the safety and the preliminary efficacy data on the three doses of the new Cosmo Technologies oral rifamycin SV colon-release 200 mg tablets manufactured according to MMX technology (CB-01-11) in the treatment of infectious diarrhoea.

Read the detailed description

To assess the safety and the preliminary efficacy data on the three doses of the new Cosmo Technologies oral rifamycin SV colon-release 200 mg tablets manufactured according to MMXTM technology (CB-01-11) in the treatment of infectious diarrhoea.

Primary end points to determine:

  • The safety and preliminary efficacy data of the three doses of the new rifamycin SV formulation tested based upon the time elapsed from the ingestion of the 1st dose of study medication to the passage of the last unformed stool (TLUS), in compliance with the relevant guidelines

Secondary end-points to determine:

  • The number of patients showing improvement in diarrhoea during a 24-h interval, i.e. >50 % reduction of bowel movements.
  • The number of unformed stools passed per 24-h interval, after dosing.
  • The number of patients who are declared to be "well". Wellness is defined as the patient having 48 hours with no unformed stools, a maximum of two soft stools and no clinical symptoms of infectious diarrhoea.
  • The number of treatment failures. A treatment failure is defined as clinical deterioration or worsening of symptoms or illness continuing after 120 h following the first dose.
  • The number and percentage of patients recovered from diarrhoea. Patients were considered to have recovered if fewer than three unformed stools were passed in the previous 24 hours and no symptom of enteric infection were present.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Last Unformed Stool (TLUS)

    The safety and preliminary efficacy data of the three doses of the new rifamycin SV formulation tested based upon the time elapsed from the ingestion of the 1st dose of study medication to the passage of the last unformed stool (TLUS)

    Measured: Up to 7 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The Number of Patients Showing Improvement in Diarrhoea During a 48h Interval

    The evaluation of improvement in diarrhoea during a 48 hour interval is defined as a >50% reduction of bowel movements versus the baseline value

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. The Number of Unformed Stools Passed Per 24-h Interval

    The number of unformed stools passed per 24-h interval, after dosing

    Measured: 192 hours

  3. The Number of Patients Who Are Declared to be "Well"

    The patient having must meet all of the following criteria in order to be classified as "well": 48 hours with no unformed stools with a maximum of two soft stools and no clinical symptoms of infectious diarrhoea.

    Measured: 48 hours

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment Failure

    A treatment failure is defined as clinical deterioration or worsening of symptoms or illness continuing after 120 h following the first dose.

    Measured: 120 hours

  5. The Number of Patients Recovered From Diarrhoea

    Patients were considered to have recovered if fewer than three unformed stools were passed in the previous 24 hours and no symptom of enteric infection were present.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 400 mg Rifamycin SV dosage, 800 mg Rifamycin SV dosage and 1200 mg Rifamycin SV dosage in people with Infectious Diarrhoea, run by Cosmo Technologies Ltd.

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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Oct 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Time to Last Unformed Stool (TLUS) (time frame: Up to 7 days). 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 2020.
