Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Investigate Prucalopride vs. Polyethylene Glycol 3350 on Colon Activity (NCT NCT01707667)

NCT ID: NCT01707667

Last Updated: 2021-07-02

Results Overview

Manometry recordings were read by an experienced gastroenterologist who was blinded to the treatment each subject received. The tracings were analyzed using computer-based validated software. HAPC and manometry data were available for every sensor as well as average values for each HAPC and manometry time point. The primary outcome analysis of HAPC data used the following threshold: Mean amplitude ≥100mmHg and extension ≥20cm (9 sensors).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: over 12 hours post-dose

Population: The Pharmacodynamic Analysis Set consisted of all randomized subjects who had taken at least 1 dose of investigational product and who had 1 evaluable manometry assessment (minimum of 4 hours of manometry recordings from the intake of investigational product) for each treatment period.

Manometry recordings were read by an experienced gastroenterologist who was blinded to the treatment each subject received. The tracings were analyzed using computer-based validated software. HAPC and manometry data were available for every sensor as well as average values for each HAPC and manometry time point. The primary outcome analysis of HAPC data used the following threshold: Mean amplitude ≥100mmHg and extension ≥20cm (9 sensors).

Timeframe: over 12 hours post-dose

Population: The Pharmacodynamic Analysis Set consisted of all randomized subjects who had taken at least 1 dose of investigational product and who had 1 evaluable manometry assessment (minimum of 4 hours of manometry recordings from the intake of investigational product) for each treatment period.

The AUC of all HAPCs during the first 12 hours after treatment was calculated as the sum of the AUC at all sensors of each HAPC at the ≥100mmHg and ≥20cm threshold.

The median time to first HAPC after administration of investigational product with amplitude ≥100mmHg and extension ≥20cm in the PEG 3350 group could not be calculated as only 6 subjects had HAPCs that met this threshold.

Population: The Pharmacodynamic Analysis Set consisted of all randomized subjects who had taken at least 1 dose of investigational product and who had 1 evaluable manometry assessment (minimum of 4 hours of manometry recordings from the intake of investigational product) for each treatment period.

Propagation velocity was calculated as the extension divided by the duration for each HAPC. Mean propagation velocity is the sum of the propagation velocities divided by the number of HAPCs.
