Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Rate of treatment-emergent adverse events
Time Frame: Reported at any time after the first dose, including the 14 days of treatment and 7 days of follow up
Reported at any time after the first dose, including the 14 days of treatment and 7 days of follow up
Change from baseline 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) at day 14 of treatment
Time Frame: Baseline values taken just prior to first dose (day 1) compared with values taken on the last day of treatment (day 14)
Baseline values taken just prior to first dose (day 1) compared with values taken on the last day of treatment (day 14)
Change from baseline clinical laboratory evaluations at the last day of treatment (day 14)

Time Frame: Baseline values taken prior to first dose (day 1) compared with values taken at the day 14 visit (14 days after first dose) and at the end of the study (21 days after the first dose)
Baseline values taken prior to first dose (day 1) compared with values taken at the day 14 visit (14 days after first dose) and at the end of the study (21 days after the first dose)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Post-meal Symptom Severity (PMSS) Assessment
Time Frame: Completed at day 1 and day 14 of the Treatment Period
Assessments completed at 15 min prior to dose, just prior to dose, and every 15 minutes after the first dose through 240 minutes (4 hours after first dose)
Completed at day 1 and day 14 of the Treatment Period

Assessments recorded on a daily basis
Average of daily assessments for the 2 weeks just prior to the first dose compared to: 1) the average of the 2 week treatment period, 2) the average of the first week of treatment and 3) the average of the second week of treatment
Weekly Symptom Relief (SR) Assessments
Time Frame: Average of week 1 and week 2 prior to treatment compared with the week 1 and week 2 during treatment
Assessments recorded on a weekly basis weekly

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
