简要总结
Irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D) affects up to 4 % of the population. The symptoms include frequent, loose or watery stools with associated urgency, resulting in a marked reduction of quality of life and loss of productivity. Chlorpromazine,a D2 receptor antagonist with combined action in Histaminic and muscarinic receptor which is widely used as an antipsychotic drug with a notorious side effect such as constipation can be used in the treatment of IBS-D at lower doses

入选标准
- •Patients must fulfil all of the following criteria: 1.Meet Rome IV criteria for IBS-D 2.Age
- •50 years 3.Patients of childbearing potential or with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use methods of medically acceptable forms of contraception during the trial and for 90 days after completion of trial medication 4.Women of childbearing potential must test negative for pregnancy within 72 h of confirmation of eligibility 5.Weekly average worst pain score ≥ 30 on a 0–100-point scale 6.Stools with a consistency of 6 or 7 on the Bristol Stool Form Score (BSFS) for 2 or more days per week.
排除标准
- •1.Gastrectomy 2.Intestinal resection; 3.Other known organic gastrointestinal diseases (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)); 4.Unable or unwilling to stop restricted medication including regular loperamide, antispasmodics (e.g. buscopan, mebeverine, peppermint oil, alverine citrate), eluxadoline, tricyclic antidepressant doses > 30 mg/day or other drugs likely in the opinion of the investigator to alter bowel habit.
- •These medicines should be discontinued for a 7-day washout period prior to registration; 5.QTc interval ≥ 450 msec in men or ≥ 470 msec in women (assessed within the last 3 months by electrocardiogram (ECG)); 6.Pulse, blood pressure, laboratory-tested blood values outside the normal ranges according to the site’s local definition of normal (assessed within the last 3 months).
- •Note minor rises in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (< 2 × upper limit of normal) will be acceptable, but the patient’s General Practitioner (GP) will be informed if ALT remains elevated at the end of the trial; 7.Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding; 8.Patients currently or previously participating in a trial of an investigational medicinal product (IMP) in the previous 3 months, where the use of the IMP may cause issues with the assessment of causality in this trial; 9.Patients with only stools of consistency 7 on the BSFS for 7 days a week.
- •10.Patients taking QT-prolonging or cardiotoxic drugs will be reviewed by the local Principal Investigator (PI) to determine whether they are suitable for the trial.
