Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study Evaluating Subcutaneous MOA-728 for the Treatment of Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC) in Subjects With Chronic Non-Malignant Pain (NCT NCT00529087)

NCT ID: NCT00529087

Last Updated: 2019-11-25

Results Overview

A rescue-free bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement where no laxatives were used during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and bowel movement assessments were self reported daily by the patient using a telephone interactive voice response system (IVRS).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 4 hours

Population: Patients who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of double-blinded test article. For this analysis, the MOA-728 QD and MOA-728 QOD treatment groups were combined as the treatment regimen was the same through the first dose (day 1).

A rescue-free bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement where no laxatives were used during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and bowel movement assessments were self reported daily by the patient using a telephone interactive voice response system (IVRS).

A rescue-free bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement where no laxatives were used during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and bowel movement assessments were self reported daily by the patient using a telephone interactive voice response system (IVRS). Active injections are those that contain study drug (e.g., daily injections in MOA-728 QD treatment group and every other injection for the MOA-728 QOD treatment group). The corresponding injections in the placebo group were used as controls.

A rescue-free bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement where no laxatives were used during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and bowel movement assessments were self reported daily by the patient using a telephone interactive voice response system (IVRS). Responses following first injection were censored at 24 hours or at time of the second injection, which ever occurred first.

A rescue-free bowel movement defined as a bowel movement with no laxatives use during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and bowel movement assessments were reported daily by patient using a telephone interactive voice response system (IVRS). The weekly number of RFBM was defined as the total number of RFBM reported during the double-blind period divided by the number of days the patient reported diary information in that period, and then multiplied by 7 to normalize to a weekly number.

A rescue-free bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement where no laxatives were used during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and bowel movement assessments were self reported daily by the patient using a telephone IVRS. The weekly number of RFBM was defined as the total number of RFBMs reported during study period divided by the number of days the patient reported diary information in that period, and then multiplied by 7 to normalize to a weekly number. Weekly number of RFBM determined as missing for \<4 days of information.

RFBM defined as bowel movement with no laxatives during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and assessments were reported daily by patient. Weekly number of quality RFBM was the total number of quality RFBM reported in study period divided by number of days with information and multiplied by 7 for a normalized weekly number. Stool quality assessed with the Bristol Stool Form Scale (7-points) (1=difficult to pass, 7=entirely liquid). A quality RFBM defined as one other than diarrhea (Bristol Type 1-5).

A rescue-free bowel movement defined as a bowel movement with no laxatives use during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and bowel movement assessments were reported daily by patient using a telephone interactive voice response system (IVRS). Weekly number of complete RFBM was the total number of complete RFBM reported in study period divided by the number of days with information, and multiplied by 7 for a normalized weekly number. A complete RFBM has a sensation of complete evacuation.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: Patients who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of double-blinded test article. Last observation carried forward (LOCF)

A rescue-free bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement where no laxatives were used during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and bowel movement assessments were self reported daily by the patient using a telephone interactive voice response system (IVRS). The amount of straining associated with bowel movements was assessed using a 5-point straining scale, where 0=none, 1 = mild and 4=very severe.

A rescue-free bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement where no laxatives were used during the prior 24 hours. Information on laxative use, bowel movements and bowel movement assessments were self reported daily by the patient using a telephone interactive voice response system (IVRS). A complete RFBM has a sensation of complete evacuation.
