Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Naldemedine (S-297995) for the Treatment of Opioid-Induced Constipation in Adults With Non-Malignant Chronic Pain Receiving Opioid Therapy (NCT NCT01443403)

NCT ID: NCT01443403

Last Updated: 2017-06-26

Results Overview

Participants completed a daily Bowel Movement and Constipation Assessment Diary to record information about bowel movements and constipation. A spontaneous bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement unassisted by rescue medication (laxative or enema) taken within the 24 hours preceding the bowel movement. Baseline was defined as the average number of SBMs per week during the 2 weeks prior to randomization. The number of SBMs per week in the last 2 weeks of treatment is defined as the average number of SBMs per week recorded in the diary for the 14 days prior to the last dose of study drug.

Participant Flow

This study was conducted at 53 clinical sites in the United States. The first participant was enrolled on August 17, 2011 and the last participant completed on August 22, 2012. Participants must have met eligibility criteria and completed the Bowel Movement and Constipation Assessment (BMCA) Diary for a minimum of 14 days to enroll in the study.

Participants were randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive placebo, naldemedine 0.1 mg, 0.2 mg, or 0.4 mg once daily. One participant was randomized twice, first to placebo and subsequently to naldemedine 0.4 mg, and is counted in both arms below and for safety analyses.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (2 weeks prior to randomization) and the last 2 weeks of treatment (Weeks 3 to 4 for participants who completed the 28-day treatment period)

Population: Modified intention-to-treat population

Participants completed a daily Bowel Movement and Constipation Assessment Diary to record information about bowel movements and constipation. A spontaneous bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement unassisted by rescue medication (laxative or enema) taken within the 24 hours preceding the bowel movement. Baseline was defined as the average number of SBMs per week during the 2 weeks prior to randomization. The number of SBMs per week in the last 2 weeks of treatment is defined as the average number of SBMs per week recorded in the diary for the 14 days prior to the last dose of study drug.

Participants completed a daily Bowel Movement and Constipation Assessment Diary to record information about bowel movements and constipation. An SBM responder was defined as a participant whose frequency of SBMs within the last 2 weeks of the treatment period was 3 times or more per week and who had an average increase in the frequency of SBMs from baseline of 1 or more per week.

Timeframe: Baseline and the last 2 weeks of treatment (Weeks 3 to 4 for participants who completed the 28-day treatment period)

Population: mITT population

Participants completed a daily Bowel Movement and Constipation Assessment Diary to record information about bowel movements and constipation. A CSBM responder was defined as a participant whose frequency of CSBMs within the last 2 weeks of the treatment period was 3 times or more per week and who had an average increase in the frequency of CSBMs from baseline of 1 or more per week.

Timeframe: From first dose of study drug through 28 days after the last dose of study treatment (up to 57 days).

Population: Adverse events were assessed using the safety population. The safety population included all participants who received study drug. This population was analyzed as treated.

Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were adverse events that occurred after the first dose of study drug. Treatment-related TEAEs were defined as TEAEs that were considered by the Investigator to be definitely, probably, or possibly related to study drug.
