Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT04742907
Purpose
This multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the
effect of TU-100 on resolution of postoperative ileus (POI) in subjects undergoing open or
laparoscopic bowel resection (BR).

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Male or female ≥ 18 years of age
2. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or men whose sexual partners are WOCBP; must

program, and have voluntarily provided informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Scheduled for a BR that is not listed in this protocol
2. Requires any additional resections beyond the intestine (eg, hepatectomy, distal
pancreatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, gastric resection, uterine resection), or
concomitant surgeries (with the exception of biopsies)
3. Requires the formation of a stoma (ileostomy or colostomy)
4. History of surgeries, illness, or behavior (eg, depression, psychosis) that in the
opinion of the investigator might confound the study results or pose additional risk
in administering the study procedures
5. Have a functional colostomy or ileostomy
6. Diagnosed with advanced or metastatic colon cancer (Stage IV by tumor, node, and
metastasis classification)
7. Positive coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) test
8. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection (including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)), diabetes, symptomatic
congestive heart failure and ejection fraction < 35%, unstable angina pectoris,
cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit
compliance with protocol requirements
9. Chronic pain syndrome unrelated to the planned surgery requiring consistent management
with analgesics and/or other non-pharmacologic modalities
10. Myocardial infarction within 3 months
11. Corrected QT interval > 500 msec
12. Diabetic gastroparesis
13. Compromised immune system, either from treatment with corticosteroids or other
immunosuppressive agent within 2 weeks of surgery or from immunosuppressive disease
(HIV)
14. Pregnant (identified by a positive serum pregnancy test) or lactating, or are not
postmenopausal (no menses for at least 1 year) and are of childbearing potential and
not using an accepted method of birth control (surgical sterilization, intrauterine
contraceptive device, oral contraceptive, diaphragm, or condom in combination with
contraceptive cream, jelly, or foam or abstinence)
15. Participated in another investigational drug/biologic or medical device study within
30 days of surgery or will be enrolled in another investigational drug or medical
device study, or any study in which active subject participation is required outside
routine hospital data collection during the course of the study
16. Illicit drug use or alcohol abuse based on medical history, or currently engaged in
illicit drug use or alcohol abuse
17. Uses of supplemental ginger, ginseng, or Zanthoxylum fruit within 72 hours before
randomization
18. Has a history of allergic reactions to ginseng, ginger, Zanthoxylum fruit, or lactose

(depression, psychosis) that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the
study results or pose additional risk in administering the study procedures
