Active clinical trials for "Constipation"

Safety and Tolerability Extension Trial for Patients with Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC)

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and tolerability of oral ingestion of PEG 3350 solution concentrate to oral ingestion of a placebo solution concentrate, in participants with constipation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of prucalopride 2 mg, given orally once daily for 12 weeks, in combination with PEG or lactulose, in treatment of women with Chronic Constipation (CC) in whom laxatives fail to provide adequate relief, as measured by the percentage of subjects with a weekly average increase of 1 or more spontaneous complete bowel movements (SCBMs) (responders) during the 12-week treatment phase as compared to the baseline.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of naldemedine for the treatment of constipation due to opioid therapy.

The aim of the present randomized double-blind controlled crossover study is to compare the effects of the 15-day consumption of artichokes enriched with the probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei LMGP22043 with those of ordinary artichokes on treatment preference, satisfactory relief of symptoms, bowel habit and the modulation of SCFA production in a group of patients suffering from functional constipation.

Morphine and related opioid analgesics are known to slow gastrointestinal (GI) motility and reduce intestinal secretion through their binding to μ opioid receptors (MORs) within the GI tract. The most common symptoms associated with the effects of opioids are constipation and nausea and/or vomiting. Moreover, constipation is a common and distressing side effect of long-term opioid therapy. The primary objective of this study was to compare ADL5945 once daily, a MOR antagonist, with placebo in the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adults taking long-term opioid therapy for chronic noncancer pain.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of naldemedine in the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adults with non-malignant chronic pain who are not using laxatives.

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical long-term safety and the tolerability, patient satisfaction, pharmacokinetics and use of pattern of prucalopride given in doses up to 4 mg per day to patients with chronic constipation (CC).

In this study the investigators aim to compare the efficacy of neomycin to a combination of rifaximin and neomycin in the treatment of C-IBS subjects with methane on their breath test. This study will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. John DiBaise at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ and Dr. Satish Rao in Georgia Regents University in Augusta, GA.

This is a 2-arm, parallel-group active- and placebo-controlled, double-blind randomised study, stratified by gender and with a hybrid crossover group design, to compare treatment with prucalopride 2 mg/day (intended therapeutic dose) and prucalopride 10 mg/day (supratherapeutic dose) with placebo. A single oral dose of 400 mg moxifloxacin is included as a positive control in terms of the effect on cardiac repolarisation. Study hypothesis: Treatment with therapeutic (2 mg) or supratherapeutic (10 mg) doses of prucalopride in healthy male and female volunteers will not increase QTc interval compared to placebo.
