Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Assess the Effect Of Alosetron On Mucosal Blood Flow (NCT NCT00370032)

NCT ID: NCT00370032

Last Updated: 2015-05-18

Results Overview

On Day 6 of each treatment period; 1 hour after dosing, subjects underwent a flexible sigmoidoscopy with Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) to measure Mucosal Blood Flow (MBF). There were no pre-treatment LDF procedure, MBF was compared between the Healthy volunteers and D-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) cohorts using the flow rates from the placebo treatment period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 6 after each treatment period

Population: Per Protocol Population - the population used for the primary and secondary outcome analyses. The population consisted of all randomized subjects who completed the study with MBF measurements for both treatment periods.

On Day 6 of each treatment period; 1 hour after dosing, subjects underwent a flexible sigmoidoscopy with Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) to measure Mucosal Blood Flow (MBF). There were no pre-treatment LDF procedure, MBF was compared between the Healthy volunteers and D-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) cohorts using the flow rates from the placebo treatment period.
