|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.Inability to obtain written informed consent to participate in the study from the patient or legally authorized representative. (Whenever possible, patients who participate based on proxy consent will be re-consented once deemed capable by the Investigator of providing consent on their own.) 2.Prior use during the current ICU admission of parenteral nutrition or trophic feeding defined as a prescription to receive ≤ 20 mL/hr of enteral feeding for more than 24 hrs prior to screening [N.B., parenteral nutrition may be initiated post randomization provided that the supplemental nutrition is coordinated with the calories and protein targets of the PTV and reduced as enteral feeding is advanced] 3.Weight prior to ICU admission exceeding 150.0 kg 4.Positive serum pregnancy test at screening in women of child-bearing potential (a serum pregnancy test needs to be performed only once and does not need to be repeated prior to randomization) N.B., Women of child-bearing potential must abstain from sexual intercourse or use effective birth control methods for 1 month after their participation in the study ends. Men with a female partner capable of having children must abstain from sexual intercourse or use effective birth control methods for 3 months after their participation in the study ends (see Section 3.5.2.11). 5.Suspicion or confirmation of active bowel obstruction, perforation, or leakage 6.History of esophageal or gastric surgery prior to or during the current hospital admission 7.History of diabetic, neurogenic, or idiopathic gastroparesis (patients will only be excluded if one of these disorders is documented in the medical record prior to admission to the ICU) 8.Conditions associated with excessive GH secretion, including but not limited to acromegaly 9.Opioid overdose or poly pharmacy drug overdose as the primary reason for admission to the ICU 10.Use of any of the following prokinetic medications during the current ICU admission and through Day 5: domperidone, cisapride, neostigmine, or opioid antagonists, including alvimopan, naloxone, naltrexone, or analogs of naloxone or naltrexone; erythromycin or azithromycin. [N.B., azithromycin is permitted for treatment of pulmonary infections up to 48 hours before randomization, but not thereafter through Day 5. Up to 2 doses of metoclopramide are permitted, provided that drug is not administered within 10 hours of the first dose of study drug or at any time through Day 5. If a patient receives metoclopramide during the screening period, a radiologic examination must confirm that the feeding tube remains visible in the stomach after the final dose of drug during screening and prior to the start of baseline gastric emptying measurements and has not migrated to the duodenum. Use of clarithromycin for any indication is not excluded.] Propofol must be discontinued before screening. However, its use may be permitted under special conditions subsequent to the first dose of study drug but not in excess of 12 hours cumulative administration over the 5-day study period. (See Section 3.4.10.2) 11.Known allergy or intolerance to metoclopramide or paracetamol 12.Patient’s clinical condition is deteriorating rapidly, or the Investigator does not consider there to be a reasonable expectation that the patient will complete the study 13.Childs C cirrhosis or ALT ≥ 1000 U/L 14.Advanced or end-stage malignancy 15.Patient has participated in another study involving an investigational drug or device within the 30 days before study drug administration, or patient has previously participated in a study with ulimorelin 16.Patient has any other condition that in the opinion of the Investigator precludes participation in the trial, including limited access for required blood samples 17.Patient’s care is unlikely to comply with the protocol-defined procedures, as determined by the Investigator |
1.Imposibilidad de obtener el consentimiento informado por escrito del paciente o de su representante legal para participar en el estudio 2.Uso previo, durante el presente ingreso en la UCI, de nutrición parenteral o alimentación trófica, definida como una prescripción de recibir ≤ 20 ml/hora de alimentación enteral durante más de 24 horas antes de la selección. [Nota: podrá iniciarse nutrición parenteral después de la aleatorización, siempre que la nutrición complementaria se coordine con los objetivos calóricos y proteicos del PTV y se reduzca a medida que se aumente la nutrición enteral] 3.Peso del paciente que excede de 150 kg antes del ingreso en la UCI 4.Sospecha o confirmación de oclusión, perforación o escape intestinal 5.Antecedente de cirugía esofágica o gástrica antes del ingreso hospitalario actual o durante el mismo 6.Uso de alguno de los siguientes procinéticos durante el ingreso actual en la UCI: domperidona, cisaprida, neostigmina o antagonistas opiáceos, incluidos alvimopán, naloxona, naltrexona o análogos de la naloxona o la naltrexona; eritromicina o azitromicina. (NOTA: se permite el uso de azitromicina para el tratamiento de infecciones pulmonares hasta 48 horas antes de la aleatorización, pero no a partir de entonces hasta el día 5. Se permite un máximo de 2 dosis de metoclopramida, siempre y cuando el fármaco no se administre en las 10 horas anteriores a la primera dosis del fármaco del estudio ni en ningún momento hasta el día 5. Si un paciente recibe metoclopramida durante el período de selección, un estudio radiológico debe confirmar que la sonda de alimentación sigue siendo visible en el estómago después de la última dosis del fármaco durante la selección y hasta antes del comienzo de las determinaciones basales del vaciamiento gástrico y que no se ha desplazado al duodeno. Se permite el uso de claritromicina para cualquier indicación. Debe suspenderse el propofol antes de la selección. Sin embargo, en circunstancias especiales se podrá permitir su uso después de la primera dosis del fármaco del estudio, pero sin que pueda suponer más de 12 horas de administración durante todo el periodo de 5 días.) 7.Estado clínico del paciente en rápido deterioro o el investigador considera que no existe una esperanza razonable de que el paciente vaya a terminar el estudio 8.Cirrosis (Child C) o ALT ≥ 1000 U/l |
