About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Placebo-controlled Study of the Safety and Tolerability of Rectally Administered Single Ascending Doses of IW-3300 in Healthy Volunteers

This is a first-in-human study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of IW-3300. The study drug will be administered rectally as a low-volume (20 mL) enema. Study participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive a single dose of IW-3300 or placebo. Up to 5 different doses of IW-3300 will be studied. Safety reviews will be conducted before proceeding to each higher dose.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-ascending-dose study assessing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of IW 3300 administered rectally as a low-volume enema in healthy adult volunteers. This first-in-human study will assess participants for safety, tolerability, and PK.

The study includes up to 6 treatments: placebo and up to 5 dose levels of IW-3300 which will be determined after safety reviews of previous cohorts.

This study will enroll a maximum of 40 participants (up to 5 cohorts of 8 participants each). The 8 participants within each cohort will be randomized in a double-blind manner to receive a single dose of IW-3300 (6 participants) or placebo (2 participants), administered rectally as a low-volume [20 mL] enema. Each cohort will progress through a Screening Period, Clinic Period, and Follow-up Period. Treatment duration will be 1 day. Participants will remain in the Phase 1 unit for approximately 24 hours after dosing and will be contacted by phone for follow-up approximately 2 weeks after dosing. Total participation will be 22 to 45 days, including the Screening, Clinic, and Follow-up Periods.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE was considered a treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) if the AE started after initial study drug administration and within 1 day of the last dose of study drug.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug through 24 hours post-Day 1 dose

  2. Number of Participants With Serious TEAEs

    A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or other situations such as important medical events that may not be immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. An SAE was considered a treatment-emergent SAE (serious TEAE) if the SAE started after initial study drug administration and within 1 day of the last dose of study drug.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug through 24 hours post-Day 1 dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IW-3300 in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site 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 7 inclusion and 14 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 8 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 1 site 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 8 Dec 2023). 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: From first dose of study drug through 24 hours post-Day 1 dose). 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 8 Dec 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
