Phase Ⅱ Dose Response Study of NPO-13 in Patients Undergoing Total Colonoscopy

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Bowel Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02265939
Lead Sponsor
Nihon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd
Brief Summary

Patients who require screening colonoscopy will receive an intraluminal spraying of NPO-13 per contraction region of large bowel up to fifth times during the colonoscopy.

The efficacy of NPO-13 will be evaluated based on the proportion of the splayed region with no contraction after NPO-13 dosage (primary outcome measure). The colonic spasm will be assessed by an independent committee using recorded video images.

The safety of NPO-13 will be evaluated based on adverse events and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) observed between administration and seven days after administration.
