What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Deaths, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Adverse Events Resulting in Study Drug Discontinuation (ADOs)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence, which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with study treatment. An SAE is any AE occurring at any dose that results in any of the following outcomes: death; life-threatening: the patient was at immediate risk of death from the reaction as it occurred; hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; important medical event. Deaths and SAEs include those that occurred on or after the participant signed the informed consent at the Screening Visit through the End-of-Trial Visit. TEAEs are defined as adverse events that occurred on/after administration of the double-blind study drug and within 72 hours after the double-blind study drug administration.
Measured: Deaths, SAEs, and AEs: from enrollment through end-of-trial visit Day 21 (±7 days). TEAEs: from first dose of study drug through 72 hours postdose.
Change From Baseline in Supine Bolus Flow Time (BFT)
Supine BFT defined as the median measurement from the 10 available swallows in supine position as measured by high resolution impedance manometry (HRIM), and determined by the central read (seconds; longer times=more severe achalasia). Change=(postdose supine BFT - predose supine BFT).
Measured: Day 1: predose (baseline) and 3 hours (+15 minutes) postdose
Change From Baseline in Upright BFT
Upright BFT defined as the median measurement from the 5 available swallows in the upright position as measured by HRIM, and determined by the central read (seconds; longer times=more severe achalasia). Change = (postdose upright BFT - predose upright BFT).
Measured: Day 1: predose (baseline) and 3 hours (+15 minutes) postdose
Change From Baseline in Supine Integrated Relaxation Pressure (IRP)
Supine IRP defined as the median measurement from the 10 available swallows in supine position as determined by the central read (mmHg; higher pressure=more severe achalasia), measured by HRIM. Change = (postdose supine IRP - predose supine IRP).
Measured: Day 1: predose (baseline) and 3 hours (+15 minutes) postdose
Change From Baseline in Upright IRP
Upright IRP is defined as the median measurement from the 5 available swallows in the supine position as determined by the central read (mmHg; higher pressure=more severe achalasia), measured by HRIM. Change = (postdose upright IRP - predose upright IRP).
Measured: Day 1: predose (baseline) and 3 hours (+15 minutes) postdose
Change From Baseline in 1 Minute Impedance Bolus Height (IBH)
1 minute IBH defined by the height in esophagus of 200 mL saline bolus 1 minute post-bolus as measured by HRIM and determined by the central read (cm; greater height=more severe achalasia). Change = (postdose height 1 min IBH - predose height 1 min IBH)
Measured: Day 1: predose (baseline) and 3 hours (+15 minutes) postdose
Change From Baseline in 2 Minute IBH
2 minute IBH defined by the height in esophagus of 200 mL saline bolus 2 minutes post-bolus as measured by HRIM and determined by the central read (cm; greater height=more severe achalasia). Change = (postdose height 2 min IBH - predose height 2 min IBH).
Measured: Day 1: predose (baseline) and 3 hours (+15 minutes) postdose
Change From Baseline in 5 Minute IBH
5 minute IBH defined by the height in esophagus of 200 mL saline bolus 5 minutes post-bolus as determined by the central read (cm; greater height=more severe achalasia). Change = (postdose height 5 min IBH - predose height 5 min IBH).
Measured: Day 1: predose (baseline) and 3 hours (+15 minutes) postdose
Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve From Time 0 to the Last Observation (AUClast)
Measured: Day 1 predose: 0 (≤15 minutes); Day 1 postdose: 0.5 hours (±2 minutes), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 hours (±5 minutes), 12, 17 hours (±15 minutes). Day 2 postdose 24 hours (±30 minutes). End of Treatment Visit: Day 21 (±7 days).
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Measured: Day 1 predose: 0 (≤15 minutes); Day 1 postdose: 0.5 hours (±2 minutes), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 hours (±5 minutes), 12, 17 hours (±15 minutes). Day 2 postdose 24 hours (±30 minutes). End of Treatment Visit: Day 21 (±7 days).
Time of Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)
Measured: Day 1 predose: 0 (≤15 minutes); Day 1 postdose: 0.5 hours (±2 minutes), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 hours (±5 minutes), 12, 17 hours (±15 minutes). Day 2 postdose 24 hours (±30 minutes). End of Treatment Visit: Day 21 (±7 days).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Olinciguat in people with Achalasia, run by Cyclerion Therapeutics at 5 sites in United States.
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 2 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 May 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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 Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Deaths, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Adverse Events Resulting in Study Drug Discontinuation (ADOs) (time frame: Deaths, SAEs, and AEs: from enrollment through end-of-trial visit Day 21 (±7 days). TEAEs: from first dose of study drug through 72 hours postdose.). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 May 2021.
