Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Patient Reported Preference for Movantik or PEG 3350 for Opioid-induced Constipation (OIC) Treatment

    The Patient Preference Assessment was conducted at Visit 5 using a 7-point scale in subjects with chronic non-cancer pain. The 3 categories were formed by collapsing the 7-point rating scale to: 1. Prefer Movantik (including Strong preference for Movantik, Moderate preference for Movantik, Slight preference for Movantik), 2. No preference, and 3. Prefer PEG 3350 (including Strong preference for PEG 3350, Moderate preference for PEG 3350, and Slight preference for PEG 3350). The number of subjects in each category is presented for the total number of subjects in the Per-Protocol (PP) Set.

    From Visit 2 (Day 1) of Treatment Period 1 to Visit 5 (Day 36) of Treatment Period 2 (end of study).

  • Patient Reported Preference for Movantik or PEG 3350 for OIC Treatment by Treatment Sequence

    The Patient Preference Assessment was conducted at Visit 5 using a 7-point scale in subjects with chronic non-cancer pain. The following categories were the possible responses: Strong preference for Movantik, Moderate preference for Movantik, Slight preference for Movantik, No preference, Slight preference for PEG 3350, Moderate preference for PEG 3350 and Strong preference for PEG 3350. Prefer Movantik included subjects in the categories Strong preference for Movantik, Moderate preference for Movantik and Slight preference for Movantik. Prefer PEG 3350 included subjects in the categories Strong preference for PEG 3350, Moderate preference for PEG 3350 and Slight preference for PEG 3350. Preference for Period 1 treatment and Preference for Period 2 treatment included subjects who preferred the first and second treatments respectively taken within a given treatment sequence. The number of subjects in each category is presented per treatment sequence for subjects in the PP Set.

    From Visit 2 (Day 1) of Treatment Period 1 to Visit 5 (Day 36) of Treatment Period 2 (end of study).

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Patient Reported Influence of Each Medication Characteristic Median Scores That Contributed to Their Overall Preference for Movantik or PEG 3350

    From Visit 2 (Day 1) of Treatment Period 1 to Visit 5 (Day 36) of Treatment Period 2 (end of study).

  • Patient Reported Influence of Each Medication Characteristic Individual Category Results That Contributed to Their Overall Preference for Movantik or PEG 3350

    From Visit 2 (Day 1) of Treatment Period 1 to Visit 5 (Day 36) of Treatment Period 2 (end of study).

  • Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Questionnaire to Compare the Impact of Movantik and PEG 3350 on OIC Symptoms

    At Visit 3 (Day 15) of Treatment Period 1 and Visit 5 (Day 36) of Treatment Period 2.

  • PGIC Questionnaire Individual Item Results to Compare the Impact of Movantik and PEG 3350 on OIC Symptoms

    At Visit 3 (Day 15) of Treatment Period 1 and Visit 5 (Day 36) of Treatment Period 2.

  • Mean Change From Baseline at Visit 3/5 in Bowel Function Index (BFI) Questionnaire Scores to Compare the Impact of Movantik and PEG 3350 on OIC Symptoms

    From Baseline (Visit 2, Day 1) to Visit 3 (Day 15) and Visit 5 (Day 36).

Drug: Polyethylene Glycol 3350Drug: Movantik

Interventions

Polyethylene Glycol 3350, 17 grams of powder to be dissolved in 4 to 8 ounces of water, juice, soda, coffee or tea to be taken once a day. Bisacodyl 5mg, 1-3 tablets may be taken by subject who does not experience a bowel movement within 72 hours.

Also known as: MiraLAX
Crossover Group 1Crossover Group 2

Movantik 25 mg, 1 tablet taken once a day on an empty stomach at least 1 hour prior to the first meal of the day or 2 hours after the meal. Bisacodyl 5mg, 1-3 tablets may be taken by subject who does not experience a bowel movement within 72 hours.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female between the ages of ≥18 and \<85 years
  • Self-reported active symptoms of OIC (Opioid Induced Constipation) based on components of the Rome IV criteria at screening. Patients should have at least 2 of the following:
  • \<3 SBMs (Spontaneous Bowel Movements) per week
  • Straining \>25% of defecations
  • Sensation of incomplete evacuation \>25% of defecations
  • Lumpy or hard stools \>25% of defecations

  • Confirmed OIC by BFI (Bowel Function Index) ≥30
  • Stable maintenance opioid regimen consisting of a total daily dose of at least 30 mg of oral morphine, or equivalent of 1 or more other opioid therapies
  • Willingness to stop all laxatives and other bowel regimens other than specified rescue medication

You may not qualify if:

  • Pain related to cancer or has a history of cancer within 5 years
  • Current constipation or chronic constipation not caused by or related to use of opioids
  • History of rectal evacuation disorders, surgery or procedures that can potentially affect pelvic floor function; requirement of using manual maneuvers to facilitate a bowel movement
  • Evidence of significant GI structural abnormalities, acute or chronic GI conditions that could post risk to the patient or confound the study results
