Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of IW-1701, A Stimulator of Soluble Guanylate Cyclase (sGC), in Patients With Type I or II Achalasia (NCT NCT02931565)

NCT ID: NCT02931565

Last Updated: 2021-05-04

Results Overview

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence, which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with study treatment. An SAE is any AE occurring at any dose that results in any of the following outcomes: death; life-threatening: the patient was at immediate risk of death from the reaction as it occurred; hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; important medical event. Deaths and SAEs include those that occurred on or after the participant signed the informed consent at the Screening Visit through the End-of-Trial Visit. TEAEs are defined as adverse events that occurred on/after administration of the double-blind study drug and within 72 hours after the double-blind study drug administration.

Participant Flow

Up to 20 participants were planned to be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive either olinciguat or matching placebo. The study was prematurely terminated due to enrollment challenges after 9 participants had completed the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Deaths, SAEs, and AEs: from enrollment through end-of-trial visit Day 21 (±7 days). TEAEs: from first dose of study drug through 72 hours postdose.

Population: All participants who received study drug were included in the Safety Population and were evaluated for according to the treatment they actually received.
