A Comparison of the Effects of ORP-101 Versus Placebo in Adult Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Diarrhea (IBS-D)

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Diarrhea
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT04129619
Lead Sponsor
OrphoMed, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the effects of ORP-101 versus placebo on stool consistency and abdominal pain in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D). It will also assess the safety and tolerability of ORP-101 in patients with IBS-D.

Detailed Description

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ORP-101 in patients with IBS-D. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-arm, 12-week, parallel proof-of-concept study with 2 active arms (50 mg and 100 mg ORP-101, QD) and 1 matching placebo arm, using a responsive adaptive randomization approach. After screening, patients who qualify will enter the baseline symptom assessment period, during which they will be instructed on completion of an electronic diary for daily collection of data related to their IBS symptoms, bowel function and loperamide rescue usage (not allowed during baseline).

Patients who meet all entry criteria will be randomized to receive one of two different doses of ORP-101 tablets or placebo for 12 weeks. The study drug will be taken once daily, approximately 30 minutes prior to breakfast. Patients will return to the clinic on Days 14, 28, 56, 84 (12 weeks) and 2 weeks after dosing has completed (Day 98) for a follow-up visit.

Study subjects will include both male and female adults. Approximately 320 patients with IBS-D will be randomized to receive study drug or placebo. Randomization will be stratified by history of cholecystectomy/gallbladder agenesis.

  • Planned elective surgery within the next 4 months.
  • Significant and/or severe medical illnesses such as cardiovascular, neurological, infectious, renal, hepatic or respiratory disorders that would interfere with the patient's medical care, participation in, or conduct of the study.
  • History of intestinal obstruction, stricture, toxic megacolon, GI (gastro-intestinal) perforation, fecal impaction, gastric banding, bariatric surgery, adhesions, ischemic colitis, or impaired intestinal circulation (e.g. aorto-iliac disease).

  • History of major gastric, hepatic, pancreatic or intestinal surgery (appendectomy, hemorrhoidectomy, or polypectomy allowed as long as occurred > 3 months prior to trial screening; uncomplicated laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy is allowed if no history of post-operative biliary tract pain and surgery occurred > 3 months prior to screening).
  • Patients >40 years of age at high risk for colon cancer must have had a screening colonoscopy within the past 3 years prior to trial screening visit or > 50 years of age, must have had a normal screening colonoscopy within the past 10 years prior to trial screening visit.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who Are Composite Responders Based on Improvements From Baseline in Daily Worst Abdominal Pain and Daily Stool Consistency ScoresWeek 12

Composite responders are defined as participants who met the daily response criteria for at least 50% of the days with diary entries over the 12-week interval. A participant must meet both of the following criteria on a given day to be a daily responder: 1) Daily pain response: worst abdominal pain scores in the past 24 hours improved by ≥30% compared to baseline (average of daily worst abdominal pain the week prior to randomization). 2) Average of daily stool consistency response for all reported bowel movements on the specific day: Bristol Stool Scale (BSS) score \<5 (ie, score of 1, 2, 3, or 4) or the absence of a bowel movement if accompanied by ≥30% improvement in worst abdominal pain compared to baseline pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who are Responders in IBS Adequate Relief ScoresWeek 12

IBS Adequate Relief: Percent of responders over the interval from Weeks 1-12. Responders are defined as those patients with a weekly response of "Yes" to adequate relief of their IBS symptoms for at least 50% of the total weeks during the interval.

Percentage of Participants Who Are Responders in Daily Worst Abdominal Pain ScoresWeek 12

Pain responders over the interval from Weeks 1-12 are defined as those patients who meet the daily pain response criteria for at least 50% of days with diary entry during the interval. To be eligible to be a responder, a patient must have a minimum of 60 days of diary entries over the 12-week interval.

Percentage of Participants Who Are Responders in Daily Stool Consistency ScoresBaseline to Week 12

Stool consistency responders over the interval from Weeks 1-12 are defined as those patients who meet the daily stool consistency response criteria for at least 50% of days with diary entry during the interval. To be eligible to be a responder, a patient must have a minimum of 60 days of diary entries over the 12-week interval.

Percentage of Participants Who are Responders in IBS Global Symptom ScoresWeek 12

IBS Global Symptom Score: Change from baseline for interval from Weeks 1-12: A responder is defined as a patient who has an IBS global symptom score of 0 (none) or 1 (mild) or daily IBS symptom score improved by ≥ 2.0 compared to the average in the week prior to randomization. A minimum of 60 days of diary entries over the 12-week interval is required for responders.

Percentage of Participants Who Are Modified Composite Responders Based on Responder EndpointsWeek 12

A modified composite responder endpoint in which a daily responder will be defined as having both: 1) Pain response: worst abdominal pain score in the past 24 hours improved ≥ 30% compared to the average in the week prior to randomization. 2) Stool consistency response: all bowel movements on the specific day must have BSFS score \< 5 or the absence of a bowel movement if accompanied by ≥ 30% improvement in worst abdominal pain.

Change from Baseline in Daily Abdominal Discomfort ScoresWeek 12

Discomfort: Change from baseline in daily abdominal discomfort scores

Change from Baseline in Daily Abdominal Bloating ScoresWeek 12

Bloating: Change from baseline in daily abdominal bloating scores

Number of Bowel Movements Per DayWeek 12

Frequency: Change from baseline in mean number of bowel movements per day

Number of Bowel Incontinence Free DaysWeek 12
