Disease
Names and IDs as Open Targets gives them. Its IDs in MeSH, Orphanet, the Disease Ontology and the NCI Thesaurus are those Open Targets states for it.
- Name
- Achalasia
- Open Targets ID

- Other names
- Achalasia of the esophagus, Achalasia of the oesophagus
- Highest stage of its drugs
- Phase 2, for 2 of its 3 drugs, from ClinicalTrials.gov
Source Open Targets
Drugs3
The drugs Open Targets' clinical reports study for the disease, the highest stage first, then the most trial reports. The stage is Open Targets', the highest any of its sources reports for the pair, and each row names the sources that report it.
| Drug | ChEMBL ID | Type | Open Targets' stage | Stage reported by | Reports | Of them trials | Trials shown here | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE A | CHEMBL4297862 | Protein | Phase 2 | ClinicalTrials.gov | 2 | 2 | 2 | Drugs and targets |
| OLINCIGUAT | CHEMBL4297616 | Small molecule | Phase 2 | ClinicalTrials.gov | 1 | 1 | 1 | Drugs and targets |

Targets5
The targets ChEMBL's mechanism records give for the disease's drugs, through Open Targets, the most drugs first. A mechanism record says what a drug acts on, not that the target causes the disease.
| Target | Protein | Its drugs that act on it | Mechanisms | Highest stage of those drugs | Gene in Genes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADRB3 | Beta-3 adrenergic receptor | 1 | Beta-3 adrenergic receptor agonist | Early phase 1 | https://conductscience.org/library/genes/155 | Drugs and targets |

Trials4
Trials an Open Targets clinical report links to the disease, posted results first, then the largest. A trial is shown when the release's checks confirm its link to the disease and Drugs and targets shows its link to one of the disease's drugs.
| Trial | Title | Phase | Participants | Results first posted | Conditions | Drugs | Linked by | Source |

| NCT02931565 | Study of IW-1701, A Stimulator of Soluble Guanylate Cyclase (sGC), in Patients With Type I or II Achalasia | Phase 2 | 9 | 2021-05-04 | Achalasia | OLINCIGUAT | Its record names the disease | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| NCT00004416 | Randomized Study of Botulinum Toxin Type A for Achalasia | Not applicable | 56 | Esophageal Achalasia | BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE A | Its record names the disease | ClinicalTrials.gov | |
| NCT01955174 | Botulinum Toxin Injection in Hypercontractile Esophagus | Phase 2 | 24 | Nutcracker Oesophagus | BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE A | Its record names the disease | ClinicalTrials.gov | |
| NCT03411252 | Mirabegron in Achalasia: A Clinical and Manometric Proof of Concept Pilot Study | Early phase 1 | 5 | Achalasia | MIRABEGRON | Its record names the disease | ClinicalTrials.gov |
Comparisons in its trials2
Comparisons Trial comparisons calculated in the trials shown here, most participants first. A comparison in one of these trials does not always compare a treatment for the disease, so read the two groups.
| Comparison | Group 1, with the outcome | Group 2, with the outcome | Participants | Trial | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Olinciguat vs Placebo: deaths from any cause | 0 of 7 | 0 of 2 | 9 | NCT02931565 | Trial comparisons |
| Olinciguat vs Placebo: serious adverse events | 0 of 7 | 0 of 2 | 9 | NCT02931565 | Trial comparisons |
