Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of subcutaneous (injection beneath the skin) MOA-728 versus placebo in adult Asian subjects with opioid-induced constipation associated with advanced illness (ie, a terminal illness such as incurable cancer or other end-stage disease) or chronic nonmalignant pain.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

Subjects received subcutaneous methylnaltrexone (also referred to as MOA-728 or MNTX) or placebo every other day beginning on Day 1 up to a maximum of 7 doses during the 2-week double-blind period.

Inclusion criteria for this study included subjects with advanced illness or subjects with chronic nonmalignant pain. The actual study population included only subjects with cancer-related advanced illness.

All subjects who completed the double-blind treatment phase of this study could elect to receive methylnaltrexone during a 12-week open-label extension study, provided eligibility criteria were met. Subjects who did not continue in the open-label extension study had a follow-up visit 2 weeks after their last dose of test article.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. The Proportion of Subjects Having a Rescue-free Bowel Movement (RFBM) Within 4 Hours After the First Injection. [Up to 4 hours after the first injection]

      There were 2 co-primary endpoints for this study. This measurement is the first of the 2 co-primary endpoints. This endpoint measures the percentage of patients who had an RFBM within 4 hours after the first dose of test article during the double-blind period; data are expressed as percentages of patients for the MNTX and placebo groups. To qualify as rescue free, the bowel movement could not occur within 6 hours after a rectal intervention (ie, rectal suppository, enema, manual disimpaction). Note that efficacy results (primary and secondary outcomes) are presented for the double-blind period only. Therefore, no efficacy results are presented for the open-label period.

    2. The Proportion of Subjects Having a Rescue-free Bowel Movement (RFBM) Within 4 Hours After Each Dose During Double-blind Period. [Within 4 Hours After Each Dose During the 2 weeks Double-Blind Period]

      This measurement is the second of the 2 co-primary endpoints. This endpoint measures the percentage of patients who had an RFBM within 4 hours after each dose of test article during the double-blind period; data are expressed as percentages of patients by dose (first, second, third, fourth, etc.) for the MNTX and placebo groups. The definition of RFBM is described above (see first co-primary endpoint).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Injections Resulting in RFBM Within 4 Hours After Test Article Administration. [Within 4 Hours After Each Dose During the 2 weeks Double-Blind Period]

      This endpoint measures the percentage of injections resulting in RFBMs within 4 hours after test article administration during the double-blind period. The percentage of injections resulting in RFBMs is calculated for each patient and then data are expressed as the mean (± standard deviation) percentage for the MNTX and placebo groups. The definition of RFBM is described above (see first co-primary endpoint).

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Adverse events were collected over the 2-week double-blind period and over the 12-week open-label period.
    Adverse Event Reporting Description Adverse events were collected by non-systematic (patient reports) and systematic methods (investigator examinations and lab tests). For both adverse events tables, a subject reporting more than one adverse event for a particular MedDRA preferred term or system organ class was counted only once for that MedDRA preferred term or system organ class.
    Arm/Group Title Methylnaltrexone Double-blind Placebo Methylnaltrexone Open-label
    Arm/Group Description Methylnaltrexone once every other day. Subjects received 0.6 mL (12 mg) every other day if weight ≥ 62kg; 0.4 mL (8 mg) every other day if weight between 38 and < 62 kg; or 0.0075 mL/kg (0.15 mg/kg) every other day if weight between 27 and <38 kg. Placebo once every other day. Subjects received matching placebo injections. Subjects who completed the double-blind period had the option to receive methylnaltrexone once every other day during a 12-week, open-label extension period.
