hydrogen sulfide and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

hydrogen sulfide has been researched along with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in 7 studies

Hydrogen Sulfide: A flammable, poisonous gas with a characteristic odor of rotten eggs. It is used in the manufacture of chemicals, in metallurgy, and as an analytical reagent. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)
hydrogen sulfide : A sulfur hydride consisting of a single sulfur atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms. A highly poisonous, flammable gas with a characteristic odour of rotten eggs, it is often produced by bacterial decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen.
thiol : An organosulfur compound in which a thiol group, -SH, is attached to a carbon atom of any aliphatic or aromatic moiety.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A disorder with chronic or recurrent colonic symptoms without a clearcut etiology. This condition is characterized by chronic or recurrent ABDOMINAL PAIN, bloating, MUCUS in FECES, and an erratic disturbance of DEFECATION.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Breath Methane Production Based on a Single-point Breath Methane Test

Change in exhaled methane level as a potential predictor of constipation improvement will be evaluated by comparing single-point breath tests pre- and post-treatment. (NCT03763175)
Timeframe: After completing course of SYN-010

Change From Baseline in the Weekly Average Number of Completely Spontaneous Bowel Movements (CSBM) Compared to the 12-week Treatment Period

Subjects will record their daily bowel movements throughout the duration of the study. Change in weekly average number of CSBMs will be evaluated by comparing reported values pre- and post-treatment. (NCT03763175)
Timeframe: After completing 12-week course of SYN-010

Mean Change From Baseline in the Area-under-the-curve (AUC) of Breath Methane Production, Based on the 120-minute Lactulose Breath Test.

Change in exhaled methane level as a potential predictor of constipation improvement will be evaluated by comparing lactulose breath tests pre- and post-treatment. (NCT03763175)
Timeframe: After completing 12-week course of SYN-010

Proportion of Overall Abdominal Pain Intensity Responders During the 12-week Treatment Period

An overall abdominal pain intensity responder is defined as a patient with a weekly abdominal pain intensity response in at least 50% of the weeks of treatment (6 of 12 weeks). A weekly response abdominal pain intensity response is defined as a decrease in the patient's weekly average score for worst abdominal pain in the past 24 hours of at least 30% compared to baseline, with stool frequency unchanged or improved compared with baseline. (NCT03763175)
Timeframe: After completing 12-week course of SYN-010

Proportion of Overall Bloating Responders During the 12-week Treatment Period

An overall bloating responder is defined as a patient with a weekly bloating response in at least 50% of the weeks of treatment (6 of 12 weeks). A weekly bloating response is defined as a weekly average bloating score of at least 30% improvement compared to baseline, with stool frequency unchanged or improved compared with baseline. (NCT03763175)
Timeframe: After completing 12-week course of SYN-010

Proportion of Overall Responders During the 12-week Treatment Period

An overall 12-week responder is defined as a patient with a weekly response in at least 50% of the weeks of treatment (6 of 12 weeks). A weekly response is defined as a decrease in the patient's weekly average score for worst abdominal pain in the past 24 hours of at least 30% compared to baseline and a stool frequency increase of 1 or more CSBMs per week compared with baseline. (NCT03763175)
Timeframe: After completing 12-week course of SYN-010

Proportion of Overall Stool Frequency Responders During the 12-week Treatment Period

An overall stool frequency responder is defined as a patient with a weekly stool frequency response in at least 50% of the weeks of treatment (6 of 12 weeks). A weekly stool frequency response is defined as a stool frequency increase of 1 or more CSBMs per week compared with baseline, with abdominal pain unchanged or improved compared with baseline. (NCT03763175)
Timeframe: After completing 12-week course of SYN-010

Proportion of Patients Using Rescue Medication

Subjects will record their use of rescue medication throughout the study period. Proportion of patients using rescue medication after completing the 12-week course of treatment will be compared to those reporting usage at baseline screening period. (NCT03763175)
Timeframe: After completing 12-week course of SYN-010

Proportion of Patients With Adequate Relief

Outcome will be assessed by evaluating proportion of patients reporting adequate relief pre- and post-treatment on validated questionnaire. (NCT03763175)
Timeframe: After completing 12-week course of SYN-010
