NCT01880424

Brief Summary

This clinical trial is an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial comparing one dose of linaclotide to placebo. Approximately 800 patients with a diagnosis of IBS-C (modified Rome III criteria) will be randomized at up to 60 trial centers in China, Australia, and New Zealand. The trial will consist of up to 21 days of screening, 14 to 21 days of pre-treatment, 12 weeks of double-blind treatment, and 2 weeks of follow-up. At the end of the Pre-treatment Period, patients meeting the entry criteria for this trial will be randomized to one of two double-blind treatment groups: 290 ug linaclotide, or placebo (1:1).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • 12-week Abdominal Pain/Abdominal Discomfort Weekly Responder

    A 12-week Abdominal Pain/Abdominal Discomfort Responder is a patient who meets the Abdominal Pain/Abdominal Discomfort Weekly Responder criteria (i.e., an improvement of ≥30% from baseline in either the mean abdominal pain score or mean abdominal discomfort score for that week, with neither score worsening from baseline for that week) for at least 6 out of the 12 weeks of the Treatment Period. Abdominal pain at its worst (in the last 24 hours) was assessed daily by patients on an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) where 0 represents no abdominal pain and 10 represents very severe abdominal pain. Abdominal discomfort (in the last 24 hours) was assessed daily by patients on an 11-point NRS where 0 represents no abdominal discomfort and 10 represents very severe abdominal discomfort.

    Baseline and Weeks 1-12 during the Treatment Period

  • 12-week Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Degree of Relief Responder

    A 12-week IBS Degree of Relief Responder is a patient who meets the IBS Degree of Relief Weekly Responder criteria (i.e., response to the degree of relief of IBS symptoms question for that week was "Considerably relieved" or "Completely relieved") for at least 6 out of the 12 weeks of the Treatment Period. Degree of relief of IBS symptoms (in the last 7 days) was assessed weekly by patients on a 7-point balanced ordinal scale where 1 = Completely relieved, 4 = Unchanged, and 7 = As bad as I can imagine.

    Baseline and Weeks 1-12 during the Treatment Period

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Change From Baseline in 12-week Complete Spontaneous Bowel Movement Frequency Rate
