Lubiprostone and Mucus Secretion in Patients With Chronic Constipation
The Impact of Lubiprostone on Mucus Secretion in Asymptomatic Volunteers and Patients With Chronic Constipation
The investigators hypothesize that the symptoms of chronic constipation in some patients are developed due to diminished production and secretion of the alimentary tract mucus resulting in poor lubrication.
Therefore, the investigators assume that administration of lubiprostone may restore this lubrication impairment by stimulation of mucus production and secretion within the gastrointestinal tract.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Specific Aim 1. To test the effect of Lubiprostone, 24 mcg twice a day (BID) for 1 week, on gastric mucus production in 20 asymptomatic volunteers and 20 patients with chronic constipation in basal conditions (primary outcome).
Specific Aim 2. To explore the effect of Lubiprostone, 24 mcg twice a day (BID) for 1 week, on gastric mucus production in 20 asymptomatic volunteers and 20 patients with chronic constipation during stimulation of gastric secretion with pentagastrin, mimicking the meal-stimulated conditions (primary outcome).
Specific Aim 3. To address the influence of Lubiprostone, 24 mcg twice a day (BID) for 1 week, on gastric mucin production, the major component of mucus, in 20 asymptomatic volunteers and 20 patients with chronic constipation in basal conditions (primary outcome).
Specific Aim 4. To test the influence of Lubiprostone, 24 mcg twice a day (BID) for 1 week, on gastric mucin production, the major component of mucus, in 20 asymptomatic volunteers and 20 patients with chronic constipation during stimulation of gastric secretion with pentagastrin, mimicking the meal-stimulated conditions (primary outcome).
Specific Aim 5. To explore the impact of Lubiprostone, 24 mcg twice a day (BID) for 1 week, on viscoelasticity of gastric mucus in 20 asymptomatic volunteers and 20 patients with chronic constipation in basal conditions (secondary outcome).
Specific Aim 6. To address the impact of Lubiprostone, 24 mcg twice a day (BID) for 1 week, on viscoelasticity of gastric mucus in 20 asymptomatic volunteers and 20 patients with chronic constipation during stimulation of gastric secretion with pentagastrin, mimicking the meal-stimulated conditions (secondary outcome).

Description
Asymptomatic Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- 18-65 years of age
- Capable of and willing to give informed consent, and willing to comply with all study requirements
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnancy or lactation
- Subjects unwilling to practice adequate contraception throughout the screening period through 14 days after study termination
- Illegal use of illegal drugs
- Regular consumption of 2 or more drinks of alcohol per day
- Chronic non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAID) use

Patients with Chronic Constipation:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 18-65
- At least 6 months history of constipation. Constipation defined as: a. Less than three complete spontaneous bowel movements per week and one or more of the following: i) At least 25% of stools are very hard and/or hard stools ii) Sensation of incomplete evacuation following at least 25% of bowel movements iii) Straining on at least 25% of defecations The above criteria are only applicable to spontaneous bowel movements. Patients who have no spontaneous bowel movements (bowel movements are preceded by laxative intake) are considered constipated and are eligible for this study

- Use of any of the following drugs within 3 days prior to randomization a) Prokinetic agents (tegaserod, domperidone, cisapride, metoclopramide, erythromycin, b) Medications containing opiates c) Antispasmodic (e.g. atropine, hyoscyamine, scopolamine, glycopyrrolate)
- Use of illegal drugs
- Regular consumption of 2 drinks of alcohol per day
- Chronic NSAIDs use
- Chronic use of H2 receptor antagonist or PPIs within 14 days prior to screening
- History of gastric or duodenal ulcer, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or chronic non-ulcer dyspepsia
- Diabetes mellitus (DM) type 1
- Parkinson's disease
- Existence of any medical condition that requires chronic therapy
- Positive H. pylori serology
