Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
incidence, type and severity of adverse event
incidence, type and severity of adverse event
from Baseline to end of study (up to maximum 43 days)
Gastro-intestinal tolerability: visual analog scale
Sum of visual analog scale for gastro-intestinal symptoms assessment (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, audible bowel sound, flatulence and abdominal cramping symptoms are assessed). Each scale is from 0 (no symptom) to 100mm (maximum symptom). The maximum sum value is 600.
