Study of the Research Medicine CIN-103 in Adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Predominant Diarrhea (IBS-D).

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT06153420
Lead Sponsor
CinPhloro Pharma, LLC
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if the study drug, CIN-103, can help reduce the symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D) in adult patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* To evaluate the efficacy of CIN-103 on symptoms of IBS-D when given to patients with IBS-D compared to a placebo.

* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CIN-103 when given to patients with IBS-D compared to a placebo

Participants will attend the following visits:

* Screening Period (1 Visit)

* Baseline Period (1 Visit)

* Will complete daily diary and other Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) as described in the protocol to assess eligibility for continued participation.

* 12-Week Treatment Period (5 Visits)

* Study drug taken twice daily by mouth.

* Will complete daily diaries and other PROs as described in the protocol.

* Follow- Up Period (1 Visit)

Researchers will compare CIN-103 Dose 1, CIN-103 Dose 2, and placebo, to evaluate the clinical response to multiple dose strengths of CIN-103 relative to placebo on abdominal pain and stool consistency along with safety and tolerability.

    3. History of colorectal cancer or adenomatous polyps in a first-degree relative before age 60 (colonoscopy within 5 years); or
    4. History of colorectal cancer or adenomatous polyps in ≥ 2 first-degree relatives at any age, or family history of hereditary colorectal cancer or polyposis (colonoscopy within 5 years).
Exclusion Criteria

  3. Infectious lower gastrointestinal conditions requiring antibiotics or microbiome therapy; any microbiologically documented acute lower gastrointestinal colitis or enteritis requiring antibiotic treatment including successfully treated Clostridioides difficile colitis within 3 months prior to Screening, or a history of recurrent C. difficile colitis at any time in the past;

  4. Have a known family history of inflammatory bowel disease in at least 1 first-degree relative;

  5.

  6. Have a history of or current non-IBS chronic condition(s) with ongoing symptoms associated with abdominal pain or GI discomfort (eg, gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia, uncontrolled gastroesophageal reflux disease, polycystic kidney disease, ovarian cysts, urological pain, or endometriosis);

  7. Have a history of or current clinically significant arrhythmias as judged by the Investigator, including ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and Torsades de pointes. Subjects with any abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) not considered clinically significant by the Investigator are not excluded;

  8. Have current or a history of diverticulitis, heme positive stool, or unexplained GI bleeding within 3 months prior to Screening.

    Note: Surgically repaired diverticulitis > 3 months prior to Screening is permitted.

  9. Have a history of surgical resection of the stomach, small, or large intestine;

  10. Have had any major abdominal surgery within the 3 months prior to Screening;

    Note: Permitted procedures are uncomplicated appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and resection of benign polyps within the 3 months prior to Screening. Subjects who had an appendectomy that was associated with any related complications or sequelae are eligible if the procedure was performed at least 6 months prior to Screening.

  11. Are currently undergoing or planning to initiate treatment with weight loss medication during study participation or prior weight loss surgery (eg, gastric bypass surgery, gastric banding);

  12. Have a planned invasive elective surgery during the period of anticipated study participation from the time of informed consent through the last study visit;

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Occurrence of meeting Study Composite Responder status for an adult subject with IBS-D.12 weeks of Double Blind Treatment Period

A subject is defined as a Study Composite Responder if he or she meets the Daily Composite Responder criteria for at least 50% of days with diary entry during the 12-week Double-Blind Treatment Period. A subject is defined as a Daily Composite Responder if he or she meets both the pain intensity and stool consistency criteria as follows:

* Improvement in the mean daily worst abdominal pain (WAP) score by ≥ 30% compared to the mean daily WAP score from the Baseline Period (the average of the daily measurements over the 14 days prior to randomization); AND

* Improvement in stool consistency based on the Bristol Stool Scale (BSS) score \< 5 or the absence of a bowel movement (BM) over the past 24 hours.

Note: If a subject did not have a BM, an improvement of at least 30% in the WAP score is sufficient for a response on that day.

The proportion of subjects with a primary outcome within each dose of CIN-103 will be compared to the proportion of subjects in the placebo arm.
