What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Patients experiencing Diarrhea

    Severity of Diarrhea will be classified according to the NCI-CTCAE.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 14

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety and tolerability of the administered repeated doses of elsiglutide (ZP1846) will be evaluated

    Safety will be evaluated by monitoring:

    • Physical examination
    • Vital signs
    • Clinical laboratory parameters (hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis)
    • 12-lead ECG
    • AEs
    • Immunogenicity testing in a subset of patients

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 32

  2. PK of elsiglutide will be evaluated

    The followin standard PK parameters will be evaluated:

    Tmax, Cmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-24, AUC0-∞, t1/2Z, λZ, CL/F, VZ/F, the effect of multiple dosing will be evaluated (accumulation ratio). Blood sampling for PK will be performed at: pre-dose, 2h, 4, 6, 12, 24 h post-dose

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Elsiglutide in people with Diarrhea, run by Helsinn Healthcare SA at 21 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 30 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Patients experiencing Diarrhea (time frame: Day 1 to Day 14). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Mar 2014.
