What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Abdominal Pain at Its Worst on a NRS Through the Treatment Period

    Abdominal pain is measured daily in an eDiary, using an 11-point NRS, where 0 is anchored with "no abdominal pain" and 10 is anchored with "worst possible abdominal pain." The postbaseline weekly abdominal pain score is the average of the non-missing daily abdominal pain at its worst scores during a week (Weeks 1-12) if there are at least 4 daily scores entered into the eDiary during the week. Weekly change from baseline was calculated for each week as the weekly score minus the baseline score.

    Mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) results are based on a repeated measures analysis with treatment, analysis week, and treatment-by-week interaction as fixed effects and baseline as covariate. An unstructured covariance structure was used to model intra-subject correlation with subjects as a random effect.

    Baseline is derived from the eDiary data collected daily in the Pretreatment Period, specifically the period of time from 14 days before randomization up to the time of randomization.

    Measured: Baseline, up to Week 12 (end of the Treatment Period)

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Were 6/12 Week Abdominal Pain 30% Change Responders

    A 6/12 Week Abdominal Pain 30% Responder was a participant who had a decrease from baseline of ≥30% in the weekly abdominal pain score for that week for at least 6 out of the 12 weeks of the Treatment Period; for any week, a participant with < 4 daily abdominal pain scores available was considered a non-responder for that week.

    Abdominal pain is measured daily in an eDiary, using an 11-point NRS, where 0 is anchored with "no abdominal pain" and 10 is anchored with "worst possible abdominal pain." The postbaseline weekly abdominal pain score is the average of the non-missing daily abdominal pain at its worst scores during a week (Weeks 1-12) if there are at least 4 daily scores entered into the eDiary during the week.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MD-7246 in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Diarrhea (IBS-D), run by Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 80 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 12 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 80 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Mar 2021). 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?

Change From Baseline in Abdominal Pain at Its Worst on a NRS Through the Treatment Period (time frame: Baseline, up to Week 12 (end of the Treatment Period)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Mar 2021.
