Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: With the ratio of IBS-C/non-IBS-C as 1:1, when the sample size is 300, assuming the sensitivity and specificity using ROME IV as reference are 0.85 and 0.85 respectively, a two-sided 95% confidence interval will produce confidence interval widths of 0.12 and 0.12 respectively. In addition, with the same assumption as above, a total sample size of 300 (which includes 150 subjects with the IBS-C) achieves 99% power to detect a change in sensitivity/ specificity from 0.7 to 0.85 using a two-sided binomial test. The target significance level is 0.05.

Who may be able to join

  • With abdominal symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and abdominal discomfort, or other 'constipation symptoms' judged by investigators.
  • Result of ROME VI marked as 'IBS-C'.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Simplified Diagnosis Tool for Chinese IBS-C (Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Constipation) Patients

The study is a multi-centre, observational study which enrolls 150 IBS-C patients and 150 non-IBS-C patients in China.

Read the detailed description

The potential study subject will be identified by the investigators by face-to-face visit, and there will be only 1 visit in this study. Every patient will complete both ROME IV and the Simplified Diagnosis Tool during the visit, and in the same day.

The study will collect results of the ROME IV and the Simplified Diagnosis Tool. Sensitivity and specificity of simplified diagnosis methodology compared with ROME IV will be analysed after all the data has been collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. the sensitivity and specificity of the Simplified Diagnosis Tool for Chinese IBS-C patients

    Sensitivity (%)=(number of patients judged as IBS-C based on both the Simplified Diagnosis Tool and the ROME IV)/( number of patients judged as IBS-C based on ROME IV) ×100% Specificity (%)=(number of patients judged as non-IBS-C based on both the Simplified Diagnosis Tool and ROME IV)/( number of patients judged as non-IBS-C based on The ROME IV) ×100%

    Measured: 14 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. the accuracy of the Simplified Diagnosis Tool

    Accuracy (%)=(number of patients judged as IBS-C based on both the Simplified Diagnosis Tool and The ROME IV + number of patients judged as non-IBS-C based on both Simplified Diagnosis Tool and The ROME IV) / (total number of patients in the FAS) ×100%

    Measured: 14 month

  2. the Kappa coefficient of the Simplified Diagnosis Tool

    The Kappa coefficient will be calculated according to the following formula:

    Kappa coefficient=(P0-Pe)/(1-Pe)

    Measured: 14 months

  3. the positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the Simplified Diagnosis Tool

    Positive predictive value (%)=(number of patients judged as IBS-C based on both Simplified Diagnosis Tool and The ROME IV)/(number of patients judged as IBS-C based on Simplified Diagnosis Tool) ×100% Negative predictive value (%)=(number of patients judged as non-IBS-C based on both Simplified Diagnosis Tool and The ROME IV)/( number of patients judged as non-IBS-C based on Simplified Diagnosis Tool) ×100%

    Measured: 14 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Constipation and Functional Constipation, run by AstraZeneca at 10 sites in China.

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 10 inclusion and 9 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 28 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in China. 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.

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 sensitivity and specificity of the Simplified Diagnosis Tool for Chinese IBS-C patients (time frame: 14 months). 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 28 Dec 2023.
