Enhanced Recovery After Surgery

Brief summary

This multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the effect of TU-100 on resolution of postoperative ileus (POI) in subjects undergoing open or laparoscopic bowel resection (BR).

Detailed description

Subjects will be screened up to 28 days before their planned surgery and will be randomized 1:1:1 (TU-100 15 g/day: TU-100 7.5 g/day: placebo) on postoperative Day 1 before the first dose of study medication. After randomization, subjects will receive a total daily dose of TU-100 15g, TU-100 7.5 g, or matching placebo (3 times per day (TID)) until hospital discharge or ≤ 10 days (whichever is earlier). All subjects will be treated with study medication as adjunct to an enhanced recovery (ERAS) pathway for gastrointestinal (GI) recovery.

Subject-Reported Occurrence of Abdominal Bloating

Subjects will record the occurrence of abdominal bloating in their eDiaries on all postoperative in-hospital days.

Time frame: From the day after surgery (Day 1) until hospital discharge or Day 10 (whichever is earlier)

Population: Analysis population includes subjects in the Full Analysis population in each treatment group who receive at least 1 dose of study medication, who underwent an elective BR surgery as specified in the protocol, and who answered to the questionnaire through the eDiaries. The questionnaire is only answered during hospital stays, and data is no longer collected once the subjects are discharged. Number Analyzed for each day represents number of subject answered the questionnaire for the day.
