Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Alvimopan for the Management of Postoperative Ileus in Participants Undergoing Radical Cystectomy (NCT NCT00708201)

NCT ID: NCT00708201

Last Updated: 2016-01-08

Results Overview

Time to achieve recovery of gastrointestinal (GI) function as measured by a composite endpoint of both upper GI recovery (toleration of solid food) and lower GI recovery (first bowel movement \[BM\]) using KM Estimates and Cox PH Model. This endpoint was referred to as GI2. GI2 was calculated as GI2 = maximum (max) (solids, BM). The KM estimate reported below is biased because of the censoring of the last observation. Censoring Rules for Study Participants who: Completed: the censored time for the event was determined as: censored time = minimum \[maximum (time of/to last GI assessment, time of/to hospital discharge order written), study duration\]. Discontinued: censored time = maximum (time of/to last GI assessment, time of/to discontinuation)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During hospitalization or within 7 days after discharge

Population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication, who had at least 1 postdose GI assessment, who had the protocol-specified surgery, and had evaluable POM data.

POM was defined as the need for postoperative nasogastric (NG) tube insertion, hospital stay prolonged because of postoperative ileus (POI) (as determined by the investigator), or readmission (readmiss) to the hospital (hosp) for POI within 7 days (d) after discharge.

Population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication, who had at least 1 postdose GI assessment, who had the protocol-specified surgery, and had evaluable time to achieve G12 data.

Time to achieve recovery of GI function was measured by a composite endpoint of time to first BM and time to tolerate first solid food (solids). This endpoint was referred to as GI2, and GI2 was calculated as follows: GI2 = max (solids, BM). GI2 responders were defined as those participants who met all the following criteria: achieved GI2 by the cutoff point, did not have hospital stay prolonged because of POI, and did not have readmission for POI within 7 days of actual hospital discharge. Postsurgery Days (PSD) were measured in 24 hour increments after surgery.
