    An Open-Label, Long-Term Safety Study of Linaclotide in Patients With Chronic Constipation or Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Constipation

    NCT00765999

    31 Oct 2008 to 31 Jan 2012

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The objective of this study is to assess the long-term safety of linaclotide administered to patients with chronic constipation (CC) or irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).

Interventions

  • LinaclotideDrug

Arms1

  • Experimental

    Linaclotide

    Linaclotide 290 μg/day capsules, administered orally once daily for up to 78 weeks in participants with either CC or IBS-C. Dose reduction to 145 μg/day was permitted at the discretion of the Investigator if a participant experienced AEs intolerable enough to prompt consideration of study withdrawal. After a temporary suspension of dosing, participants may have received either 145 μg/day or 290 μg/day of linaclotide, at the discretion of the Investigator. Subsequent dose adjustments (increases or decreases between 290 μg/day and 145 μg/day) were permitted also at the Investigator's discretion.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame · Up to 78 weeks for AEs; within 30 days of last dose of study drug (up to 82 weeks) for serious AEs.

    Registry description

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered study drug. An AE could, therefore, be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not related to the medicinal product. An AE that occurred during the treatment period was defined as a TEAE if the AE was either not present at, or before, the day of the first dose of open-label study medication in this study or was present at, or before, the day of the first dose of open-label study medication in this study and increased in severity during the treatment period. AEs included abnormal clinically significant findings for clinical laboratory tests, physical examination findings, vital sign measurements and electrocardiograms (ECGs).
