Effect of Olorinab on Gastrointestinal Transit in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT04655599
Lead Sponsor
Arena Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

A Phase 1b study to determine the effect of oral olorinab on gastrointestinal transit in adult participants with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Detailed Description

This is a single-center, randomized, crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the effects of olorinab on gastric, small-bowel, and colonic transit in IBS participants with predominant constipation (IBS-C) or with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D).

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
TERMINATED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
1
Inclusion Criteria
  • Diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with predominant constipation (IBS-C) or IBS with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D) according to Rome IV criteria at Screening
  • Body mass index (BMI) 18.0 to 40.0 kilograms per square meter (kg/m^2), inclusive at Screening
  • Negative test results for alcohol and selected drugs at Screening and Day 1
  • Negative hepatitis panel (including hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] and hepatitis C virus antibody [anti-HCV]) and negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody screens at Screening
  • Participants with recent (within 6 months of Screening) or ongoing alarm features (unexplained weight loss, nocturnal symptoms, blood mixed with stool) are to have had a diagnostic colonoscopy prior to Screening and after the onset of alarm features (for participants with alarm features) to exclude non-IBS conditions per the Rome IV diagnostic algorithm for IBS
Exclusion Criteria
  • Pregnant or lactating
  • Structural or metabolic diseases/conditions that affect the gastrointestinal system
  • Diagnosis of IBS with mixed bowel habits (IBS-M) or unsubtyped IBS (IBS-U)
  • Unable to withdraw medications that alter gastrointestinal (GI) transit for 72 hours prior to baseline colonic transit assay through the duration of treatment period, with the exception of rescue medicine usage (bisacodyl and loperamide)
  • Clinically relevant changes in dietary, lifestyle, or exercise regimen within 30 days prior to Screening and for the duration of the study that may confound efficacy assessments in the clinical judgment of the Investigator (or designee)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Gastric emptying half-life (t½) as determined by scintigraphic imaging of radiolabeled mealup to 4 hours 10 minutes after consumption of radiolabeled meal
Colonic transit geometric center after consumption of radiolabeled meal, based on the delivery of activated charcoal in a methacrylate-coated capsuleup to 24 hours 30 minutes after consumption of radiolabeled meal
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Gastric emptying after radiolabeled mealat 2 hours ± 10 minutes and 4 hours ± 10 minutes after consumption of radiolabeled meal
Number and severity of adverse eventsUp to approximately 6 weeks

Safety will be assessed by monitoring adverse events and clinically relevant changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory results.

Colonic transit geometric center after consumption of radiolabeled meal, based on the delivery of activated charcoal in a methacrylate-coated capsuleup to 48 hours 30 minutes after consumption of radiolabeled meal
Ascending colon emptying t½ of radiolabeled activated charcoal particles delivered in a methacrylate-coated capsuleup to 24 hours 30 minutes after consumption of radiolabeled meal
