Active clinical trials for "Constipation"

The overall aim was to evaluate the efficacy of PiB-specific phages for the treatment of refractory constipation through clinical studies, primarily for the publication of scientific papers and to guide the development of phage therapies. The purpose of this study will be subdivided into three aspects from three aspects: target exposure level, target occupation, and functional effects after acting on the target, including:1) The distribution of PIB phage in the intestine of patients with refractory constipation;2) The killing effect of PIB phage on PIB bacteria in refractory constipation patients;And 3) therapeutic effect of PIB phage on patients with refractory constipation.

Functional constipation (FC) is a common healthcare problem in children of all ages, potentially due to genetic predisposition, inadequate fiber and fluid intake, and immobility. Currently, there are no pharmacological therapies approved for the treatment of FC. This study will assess adverse events and change in disease activity with linaclotide therapy in participants with FC. Linaclotide is an approved drug being developed for the treatment of FC in pediatric patients who meet modified Rome IV criteria for childhood FC. In Part 1 of this study, participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. All participants in Part 2 will receive linaclotide. Approximately 100 participants aged 2 to 5 years with FC will be enrolled in this study at around 45 sites worldwide. Participants will receive daily doses of oral Linaclotide capsules or matching placebo for 12 weeks in Part 1 of the study. In Part 2, the open label long-term safety extension, participants with FC who completed study intervention in Part 1 of Study M21-572 or the Phase 2 Study LIN-MD-67 will receive linaclotide for 24 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional bowel disorder that imposes a considerable burden on health-related quality of life (QOL) worldwide. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder affecting 7-21% of the general population. IBS with predominant constipation (IBS-C) is a subtype of IBS that accounts for more than a third of the IBS diagnosed. The study Sponsor, Devintec SAGL, presents GA-AT0119, which acts by forming a mechanical barrier on the intestinal mucosa thanks to xyloglucan and pea proteins avoiding the increased intestinal permeability, bacterial invasion to intestinal tissues, and subsequent intestinal inflammation. The formulation of GA-AT0119 is completed with chia seed powder which provides a laxative effect by retaining water in the intestine increasing stool bulk and accelerating fecal transit. There is increasing evidence that the pathophysiology of IBS is multifaceted involving mucosal inflammation, visceral hypersensitivity, microbial dysbiosis, dietary factors, and altered intestinal permeability (IP). Several studies have shown increased intestinal permeability in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Serum zonulin, a biomarker of impaired increased permeability, is increased in patients' constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome compared to a healthy population and the levels are comparable to celiac disease.

Functional constipation (FC) is a common healthcare problem in children of all ages, potentially due to genetic predisposition, inadequate fiber and fluid intake, and immobility. Currently, there are no pharmacological therapies approved for the treatment of FC. This study will assess adverse events and change in disease activity with linaclotide therapy in participants with FC. Linaclotide is an approved drug being developed for the treatment of FC in pediatric patients who meet modified Rome IV criteria for childhood FC. In Part 1 of this study, participants are placed in 3 groups, which occur consecutively. Each group receives a different dosage of linaclotide. In Part 2 of the study, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either linaclotide or placebo. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Approximately 30 pediatric participants 6 months to less than 2 years of age with FC will be enrolled in the study at about 25 sites worldwide. Participants will receive oral solution of linaclotide prepared from capsule by parent/guardian once daily for 4 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

The worldwide prevalence of chronic constipation (CC) is 15%, and women are more likely to develop the disease than men. CC have a significant impact on quality of life and increase the burden of national health insurance. The conventional medication treatments are primarily symptom-specific and have limited efficacy. Previous small sample study had shown the therapeutic potential of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). The aim of this study was to investigate whether taVNS could improve defecation condition and constipation symptoms in patients with CC.

conservative management of functional constipation is a preferable method including biofeedback and spinal magnetic stimulation sessions

The present study seeks to build on these observations to assess whether in principle, fat containing microcapsules might help patients experiencing constipation in association with weight loss interventions (including GLP-1 analogues or bariatric surgery) to both avoid/treat constipation and simultaneously optimise their ability to feel full during eating. This potential dual action may provide added benefit versus the use of traditional approaches to constipation prophylaxis e.g., lactulose.

The objective of LIN-MD-64 is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 12 weeks of linaclotide therapy (72 μg daily) in comparison with placebo in pediatric participants, 6 to 17 years of age, who fulfill modified Rome III Criteria for Child/Adolescent Functional Constipation (FC). The objective of LIN-MD-64 is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 12 weeks of linaclotide therapy (145 μg or 290 μg daily) in pediatric participants, 7 to 17 years of age, who fulfill the Rome III criteria for child/adolescent Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and modified Rome III criteria for child/adolescent Functional Constipation (FC).

This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of linaclotide in patients with overlapping symptoms of both functional dyspepsia (FD) and constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C).

The aim of the study is to collect data for the assessment of the Lactobacillus casei DG (Enterolactis ®duo) effect on constipation and on neuropsychological performance
