A Study of TAK-954 to Treat Gastrointestinal Dysfunction in Adults After Surgery
United States, Germany209 participantsStarted 2019-03-07
Plain-language summary
The main aim of this study is to check for side effects from TAK-954 and whether it speeds up the recovery of gastrointestinal function after small-bowel or large-bowel resection surgery.
Participants will be treated with TAK-954 before surgery and up to 10 days after surgery.

Inclusion criteria
. Participant is scheduled to undergo a laparoscopic-assisted or open partial small- or large-bowel resection.
. Participant's American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification is ASA 1 to 3.
Exclusion criteria
. Has significant mechanical bowel obstruction that is not expected to resolve after the surgery, short bowel syndrome, pre-existing clinically significant GI motility disorder (example, gastroparesis, scleroderma, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction), uncontrolled diabetes (glycosylated hemoglobin \[HbA1c\] greater than \[\>\] 10 percent \[%\]), has an active gastric pacemaker, or requires parenteral nutrition.
. Had previous major abdominal surgery (example, gastrectomy, gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, lap banding, Whipple, pancreatic resection, total/subtotal colectomy, hemicolectomy, extensive bowel resection).
. Had a history of radiation therapy to the abdomen or pelvis.
. Scheduled to undergo any of the following surgeries: low anterior resection, total or subtotal colectomy, colostomy, ileostomy or reversal of stoma, or has a diagnosis that requires rectal resection (eg, tumors in the anorectum) and will likely require lower anterior resection surgery. Participants with planned surgery for which there is no anticipated significant rectal resection and is, therefore, likely to preserve anorectal function and continence postsurgery, will likely be eligible for inclusion in the study if they meet all the study inclusion/exclusion criteria (eg, participants with lesions not involving the rectum \[sigmoid colon and above\]).
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
