April 4, 2019 updated by: Ipsen

Assessment of Elemental Impurities Level After Chronic Administration of Diosmectite (SMECTA®) in Subjects With Chronic Diarrhoea

The main purpose of this study is to assess the concentration of elemental impurities in blood and urine after chronic administration of Smecta® in subjects with chronic functional diarrhoea. For exploratory purposes, the potential effects of diosmectite on bowel microbiote composition will be investigated.

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.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change From Baseline in Blood Lead Levels During the Treatment Period and Post-treatment Follow-up Period
Time Frame: Screening and pre-dose Day -1 up to Day 125.

Baseline blood lead levels (BLL) were defined as the average between the available screening and pre-dose (Day-1) values. Values below the limit of detection (LOD) or below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) were replaced by LOD/2 or LLOQ/2 values.

The absolute mean change from baseline in BLL during the treatment period is presented for the timepoints: 2 hours after the first dose, and prior to and after the second and third doses on Days 1 and 35, prior to the first dose on Days 2, 8, 15, 22 and 29, and on Day 36 in the morning.

Screening and pre-dose Day -1 up to Day 125.

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.
