Phase III Open-labeled Study of NPO-11 in Patients Undergoing Therapeutic Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Summary

Patients who require therapeutic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, such as polypectomy, endoscopic hemostasis, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), will receive an intragastric spraying of NPO-11. The efficacy of NPO-11 as an anti-peristaltic agent for the endoscopic therapeutic procedures will be evaluated based on the proportion of patients with suppressed gastric peristalsis during the procedures. The degree of gastric peristalsis is assessed by an independent committee. The safety of NPO-11 will be evaluated based on adverse events and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) observed between administration and seven days after administration.
