Brief Summary:
An open-label, single centre, randomised, cross-over study to examine the effect of ulimorelin on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam after repeat dose administration of ulimorelin in healthy volunteers.
Detailed Description:
Ulimorelin is a first-in-class new chemical entity. It is a ghrelin agonist with gastroprokinetic activity being developed as an intravenous therapy to be used in the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) hypomotility disorders such as post-operative ileus (POI) and gastroparesis.
POI is a transient disruption of co-ordinated bowel motility that contributes to patient morbidity, discomfort and prolonged recovery times. POI most commonly occurs after abdominal surgery and annually, POI is the main determinant of length of hospital stay after major abdominal surgery and a factor in patient hospital re-admissions, increased healthcare resource use and cost, and decreased patient satisfaction. Current strategies to attenuate POI are aimed at enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) or "fast track". These are multimodal care protocols designed to reduce the impact of external and internal factors on POI duration. Recently, fewer complications and a quicker return to work and normal activities for patients who have had ERAS programmes implemented have been reported. In spite of these strategies only up to 20% of subjects undergoing partial bowel resection recover GI function within 72 hours after surgery.
