Study in healthy volunteers to investigate the effects of Quinidine on the Pharmacokinetics of NKTR-118
The projects aim is to investigate the intestinal function of patients suffering from Prader-Willi Syndrome. The methods used are ultrasonographic measurement of the rectal diameter and gastrointestinal transit time
This will be a single-center, randomized, parallel group, multiple dose administration, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effects of YKP10811 on gastric, small bowel, and colonic transit in patients with Chronic Constipation or Functional Constipation. Four groups including a placebo group will be enrolled and will receive multiple oral doses of YKP10811 or matching placebo.
Patients undergoing routine rectal suction biopsy will undergo as part of the study an additional Endoscopic mucosal resection. The biopsy results will also be correlated with patient's clinical data including clinical history, Bristol stool scale, anorectal manometry results, and SITZ marker studies. Cost and recovery time will be compared.
Bowel preparation is a major determinant of colonoscopy and colorectal surgery. Polyethylene glycol electrolyte solutions (PEG-E) are the most commonly used laxatives in China. However, a significant number of patients, especially those constipated patients, failed colonoscopies due to poor bowel cleaning. Inadequate preparation may also lead to missed colonic lesions. The study is based on the hypothesis: itopride hydrochloride, a prokinetic agent, its dual role as dopamine D2 receptor antagonism and acetylcho-linesterase inhibition make it an appropriate adjuvant for bowel preparation. It was reported to promote colonic peristalsis, shorten colonic transit time and accelerate propulsion of colonic luminal contents through inhibition of M3 receptor and dopamine D2 receptors in vitro and in vivo. So this study is to determine the efficacy, tolerance and safety of high dose of itopride, when given in different times before administration of PEG-E, for colonic preparation in patients with chronic constipation.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the docusate sodium and sorbitol rectal solution produced by Ferring Pharmaceutical (China) Ltd. in treating Chinese patients with constipation.
The purpose of this study is to determine if lubiprostone may change the rate of movement of food and activities in the stomach and intestines in subjects whose gastrointestinal (GI) tract is slower due to constipation. To be able to measure the time difference in the duration of transit of the FDA approved SmartPill capsule in all segments of gastrointestinal (GI) tract before and after exposure to lubiprostone. The investigators anticipate to capture the possibility to reduce/eliminate the small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in chronically constipated patients after administration of study drug- lubiprostone.
This study will investigate the effects of 4-week probiotic supplementation on whole gut transit time and gastrointestinal symptoms in adults with functional constipation.
This prospective study is designed to evaluate how lubiprostone may affect gastric motor and sensory function.
