Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Prucalopride For Functional Constipation in Children and Teenagers (NCT NCT04759833)

NCT ID: NCT04759833

Last Updated: 2024-06-06

Results Overview

Spontaneous bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement that was not preceded within a period of 24 hours by the intake of rescue medication. The average change from baseline in number of SBMs per week derived from the (e-diary) data, in toilet-trained participants who were at least 3 years of age collected during the placebo-controlled part (Part A) was assessed.

Participant Flow

Participants took part in the study at 42 investigative sites in the United States from 13 July 2021 to 13 November 2023.

A total of 175 participants with a diagnosis of functional constipation were enrolled and randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive either prucalopride at low dose, high dose, or matching placebo in Part A of the study depending on their body weight. All participants who completed Part A entered Part B, and those in the placebo group of Part A were re-randomized based on their weight in a 1:1 ratio to receive either prucalopride at a low or high dose in Part B of the study.

Measure
Part A: Placebo
Participants weighing \<50 kilograms (kg) drew equal volumes from two bottles of placebo oral solution to account for the daily dose assigned or participants weighing ≥50 kg received two placebo oral tablets, once daily (QD), during 12 weeks in Part A. Prucalopride matching placebo (oral solution or tablet) were dosed depending on the participant's body weight (BW) at the randomization visit.
Part A: Low Dose Prucalopride
Participants weighing \<50 kg received 0.04 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) of prucalopride oral solution (drew the required volume from one bottle of 0.4 milligram per milliliter \[mg/mL\] and one bottle of placebo oral solution), QD or participants weighing ≥50 kg received one 2 milligram (mg) of prucalopride oral tablet and one placebo oral tablet, QD, during 12 weeks in Part A. Prucalopride (oral solution or tablet) were dosed depending on the participant's BW at the randomization visit.
Part A: High Dose Prucalopride
Participants weighing \<50 kg received 0.08 mg/kg of prucalopride oral solution (drew the required volume from two bottles of 0.4 mg/mL to account for the daily dose assigned), QD or participants weighing ≥50 kg received two 2 mg of prucalopride oral tablets, QD, during 12 weeks of treatment period in Part A. Prucalopride (oral solution or tablet) were dosed depending on the participant's BW at the randomization visit.
Part B: Low Dose Prucalopride
Participants weighing \<50 kg received 0.04 mg/kg of prucalopride oral solution (drew the required volume from one bottle of 0.4 mg/mL and one bottle of placebo oral solution to account for the daily dose assigned), QD or participants weighing ≥50 kg received one 2 mg of prucalopride oral tablet and one placebo oral tablet, QD, for 36 weeks during the 40-week Part B Period.

Part B: High Dose Prucalopride
Participants weighing \<50 kg received 0.08 mg/kg of prucalopride oral solution (drew the required volume from two bottles of 0.4 mg/mL to account for the daily dose assigned), QD or participants weighing ≥50 kg received two 2 mg of prucalopride oral tablets, QD, for 36 weeks during the 40-week Part B Period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Population: The Completers Analysis Set included all toilet-trained participants who were at least 3 years of age in the Modified Intent-to-treat Analysis Set (mITT) analysis set who had an average number of SBM available for all 12 weeks in the placebo-controlled part (Part A) of the study.

Spontaneous bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement that was not preceded within a period of 24 hours by the intake of rescue medication. The average change from baseline in number of SBMs per week derived from the (e-diary) data, in toilet-trained participants who were at least 3 years of age collected during the placebo-controlled part (Part A) was assessed.

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE was defined as any event emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment with an investigational product (IP) or medicinal product or any existing event that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the IP or medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence (whether considered to be related to investigational product or not) that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital abnormality/birth defect, is an important medical event.

The Bristol Stool Form Scale is a 7-score visual scale to measure stool consistency, 1- Separate hard lumps, hard to pass, 2- Sausage-shaped, but lumpy, 3- Like a sausage but with cracks on the surface, 4- Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft, 5- Soft blobs with clear-cut edges, 6- Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool, 7- Watery, no solid pieces, entirely liquid. A score of 1 or 2 indicates constipation while a score of 6 or 7 indicates diarrhea. A better score (score of 3 and 4 represent ideal stools as they are easy to defecate while not containing excess liquid, 5 indicates average consistency but lack of dietary fiber) would trend toward the middle of the scale (3 to 5). Daily scores were summed to obtain a weekly score ranging from 7 to 49 with higher scores indicating diarrhea. Data for this outcome measure is reported per age group bifurcation.
