Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of methylnaltrexone administered as subcutaneous injections in subjects who have opioid-induced constipation and an advanced illness. The hypothesis is that methylnaltrexone will be safe and effective in relieving opioid-induced constipation in these subjects.
This is an open-label, multicenter extension of study 3200K1-4000-WW that will evaluate the safety of methylnaltrexone. This drug will be administered by subcutaneous injection and will be tested in late stage, advanced illness patients who have constipation caused by opioid pain relievers. This study will last 3 months.
Patients requiring opioids for post-operative pain control following elective orthopedic procedures which has resulted in constipation symptoms, and who are in inpatient rehabilitation will be randomized to two different treatment arms: lubiprostone or senna. Baseline scores regarding constipation and a quality of life bowel questionnaire will be compared the day following 6 days of treatment intervention.
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and activity of MNTX in relieving opioid-induced constipation following orthopedic procedures.
The purpose of this study is to determine which dose of prucalopride is safe and effective in patients with chronic constipation. Hypothesis: Prucalopride 1 and 2 mg bid are safe and effective for the treatment of chronic constipation whereas 0,5 mg is a suboptimal dose.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether prucalopride is safe and effective in the treatment of constipation in elderly subjects living in a nursing facility. Hypothesis: Prucalopride up to a dose of 4 mg once daily is safe and well tolerated in in elderly subjects living in a nursing facility.
Purpose: The associations between pain, stress, bloating, and their short interval temporal relationships to defecation in IBS D, C & M are of great interest to the field of functional GI disorders, but have not been adequately studied. Broad recall based assessments (i.e.,over past week or month) of pain and bloating have been key features of the diagnosis of IBS, however such long term retrospective recall of symptom experience has been shown to be unreliable and influenced by outside factors (heuristics, recall bias, etc.). Short interval assessment may provide a more accurate picture of patient symptom experience Participants: Patients with IBS in general and IBS subtypes (IBS-C, D, M) Procedures (methods): Study participants could be asked to record data at randomly assigned points throughout the day, as well as during the course of a diarrheal or constipated stool (i.e., prior to and right after a bowel movement).
The purpose of this study is to determine which dose of prucalopride is safe and effective in patients with chronic idiopathic constipation. Hypothesis: Prucalopride 1 and 2 mg are safe and effective for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation whereas 0,5 mg is a suboptimal dose.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the dose-response effect of increasing doses of Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactis (BB-12) and Lactobacillus paracasei ssp paracasei (CRL-431) on the immune response, blood lipids, gut microflora, recovery from feces and overall tolerance in healthy young adults.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and dose-response relationship of N-methylnaltrexone bromide (MOA-728) by observing spontaneous bowel movements in subjects administered MOA-728 who have chronic pain that is not due to cancer, and who have opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OIBD).
