Study Summary

This study is being conducted to determine whether alvimopan can accelerate recovery of gastrointestinal function following radical cystectomy when compared with a placebo. Secondary objectives of the study are: * to evaluate the effect of alvimopan on hospital length of stay * to evaluate the effect of alvimopan on prespecified postoperative ileus (POI)-related morbidities * to evaluate the overall and cardiovascular safety of alvimopan

Primary Outcome

Time to achieve recovery of gastrointestinal (GI) function as measured by a composite endpoint of both upper GI recovery (toleration of solid food) and lower GI recovery (first bowel movement \[BM\]) using KM Estimates and Cox PH Model. This endpoint was referred to as GI2. GI2 was calculated as GI2 = maximum (max) (solids, BM). The KM estimate reported below is biased because of the censoring of the last observation.
