Active clinical trials for "Gastrointestinal Diseases"

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the gastrointestinal absorption of nepadutant after single dose as oral solution (and the effect of age on its oral absorption) in infants. Oral absorption is evaluated through the drug recovery in urine.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of lubiprostone administration in participants with opioid-induced bowel dysfunction.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, TRN-002 (crofelemer) to relieve the symptoms of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

A multicenter study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of multiple dosage regimens of an investigational drug for the treatment of constipation due to prescription pain medication in subjects with cancer pain. The study will require five visits over a five-week period.

Adults who are taking opioid therapy for persistent non-cancer pain and have resulting opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OBD) will be randomized (1:1:1) to one of 2 alvimopan arms, or to placebo. The primary objective of this phase 3 confirmatory study is to compare alvimopan with placebo for efficacy in the treatment of OBD. The primary efficacy endpoint is based on frequency of bowel movements. Subjects will be required to: (1) track their bowel movements and other bowel symptoms and (2) attend 6 clinic visits over 4 months.

This study was a multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled parallel group study consisting of 4 visits over a period of 6 months. The primary variable was to assess the efficacy of esomeprazole 40 mg orally qd (E40) or esomeprazole 20 mg orally qd (E20) versus placebo orally qd after 6 months of treatment for the prevention of relapse of upper GI symptoms associated with NSAID use, including COX-2 selective NSAIDs, in patients receiving daily NSAID therapy.

TARGET-GASTRO is an observational research study to conduct a comprehensive review of outcomes for patients with the chronic gastrointestinal (GI) diseases: eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease (EGID), ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD).

Functional dyspepsia is a constellation of diverse gastrointestinal disturbing symptoms with multifactorial feature, varying from upper abdominal bloating to nausea and vomiting, that are not attributable to organic causes after proper medical assessment. Treatment options are unsatisfactory due to the lack of identifiable pathophysiology as well as the pharmacological therapy are less effective, so using an additional reliable non-pharmacological therapy would be promising. Bee honey has not only being used as food but also it has being used as an alternative medicine for its several benefits in different health aspects. This study will address the use of bee honey as an adjuvant therapy to functional dyspepsia in children under proper follow-up periods.

The parallel three-group study of efficacy and safety was planned to investigate the reduction in abdominal pain and bloating during treatment with the fixed-dose combination of Mebeverine + Simethicone versus Duspatalin® and Espumisan® as a monotherapy (Protocol No. MESI3001).

This pilot-study aims to evaluate the effect size and feasibility of internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) for children (age 8-12 years) with pain-predominant functional gastrointestinal disorders (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome, functional abdominal pain and functional dyspepsia according to the Rome III criteria). The main component investigated in this study is exposure for gastrointestinal symptoms and for feared stimuli and situations. Children will participate along with one of their parents in the treatment. The parents will also receive specific modules with information on how to support their child in the treatment.
