Investigation of Efficacy and Safety of PPC-5650 to Experimental Induced Sensation and Pain in the Rectosigmoid
A Randomized, Double-blind, Cross-over Trial in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of PPC-5650 on Sensation and Pain During Standardized Stimulation of the Rectosigmoid
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by chronic abdominal pain and altered bowel habits in the absence of any organic cause. Patients with IBS visit the doctor more frequently, use more diagnostic tests, consume more medications, miss more workdays, and consume more overall direct costs than patients without IBS. More specific treatment of the localized symptoms of IBS is therefore needed, why the present study will investigate the effect and mechanisms of PPC-5650. PPC-5650 is a new chemical entity that can negatively modulate the activity of Acid sensing ion channels (ASICs). It is a potent low molecular weight inhibitor for this class of ion channels described to date.
It is hypothesized that safety, efficacy and mechanisms of local administration in the rectum of PPC-5650 can be evaluated by use of experimental induced sensation and pain in the rectum.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Clinical pain and especially visceral pain is diffuse and widespread, and normally associated with many autonomic symptoms that may blur the characterization of disease in clinical practice. When treating clinical pain analgesic effects are difficult to evaluate due to a number of factors other than the pain intensity. These modifiers of the effect may include complaints relating to psychological, cognitive and social aspects of the illness, as well as systemic reactions. Hence, any change in these factors will invariably also interfere with pain intensity and pain quality and bias the assessment of analgesics in clinical trials.
Because of the confounders mentioned above, experimental pain models are often advantageous for characterizing analgesics. Basic mechanisms in pain perception, transduction and central processing can also be explored by means of human experimental pain models. These models, when applied to healthy volunteers or to patients, provide an important translational link between preclinical animal testing and human clinical trials. In clear contrast to clinical pain, experimental pain models allow the possibility of controlling the duration, the intensity and the nature of the pain stimulus. As pain is a multidimensional perception it is obvious that the reaction to a single stimulus of a certain modality only represents a limited part of the pain experience and therefore a variety of stimulus modalities are required to mimic the clinical situation. By use of a multi-modal pain model it is possible to induce sensation and pain in the rectum, investigating safety, effect and mechanisms of drugs.
This is an exploratory study investigating effect, mechanisms and safety of PPC-5650 to experimental induced pain in patients with IBS. The study aims to provide data to support further evaluation of PPC-5650 in the gastrointestinal area.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Effect of PPC-5650
Time Frame: Change in pain from baseline to 120 minutes
|
Outcome measurements are achieved by use of multimodal pain responses (thermal, mechanical, electrical) in the rectosigmoid.
|
Change in pain from baseline to 120 minutes
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Safety profile of PPC-5650
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 120 minutes
|
By recording adverse effects as well as fysiological characters e.g.
blood pressure, pulse, ECG is will be possible to assess safety profile of PPC-5650
|
Change from baseline to 120 minutes
|
Effect of PPC-5650
Time Frame: Change in pain from baseline to 120 minutes
|
Outcome is achieved by measuring pain and sensory responses to experimental induced pain in the rectosigmoid by use of visual analogue scale (VAS) at VAS=1, 3, 5 and 7
|
Change in pain from baseline to 120 minutes
|
Central mechanisms
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 120 minutes
|
This outcome is done by use of referred pain areas to the experimental induced pain in the rectosigmoid
|
Change from baseline to 120 minutes
|
