The GIS is comprised of ten questions, all rated on a seven point scale ranging from substantially worse (7) to substantially improved (1). GIS assesses the participant's improvement (or worsening) as assessed by the clinician on a 7-point scale: 1: very much improved; 2: much improved; 3: minimally improved; 4: no change; 5: minimally worse; 6: much worse; or 7: very much worse for diarrhea, constipation, stool frequency, stool consistency, urgency, bloating, incomplete evacuation, and straining. Values reported are less than the minimum score on scale as the rate is the proportion of the last four weeks that the participant is a responder.

The IBSQoL is a self-report quality-of-life measure specific to IBS that can be used to assess the impact of IBS and its treatment. The IBSQoL consists of 30 statements about bowel problems, which formed 9 scales: emotional health, mental health, health belief, sleep, energy, physical functioning, diet, social role, physical role and sexual relation. All 9 scales were rated on a five-point response scale ranging from 1 (always) to 5 (never). Scores for individual items were averaged to obtain a total score for each subscale of IBSQoL. Then transformed to a 0-100 scale for ease of interpretation with higher scores indicating better IBS-specific quality of life. Transformed scale score = (raw score - lowest possible scale score)/ (scale range) X 100. The data presented for individual scale.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to Day 105 (weeks 3-6 in period 1, weeks 12-15 in period 2)

Population: Intent to Treat population. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed. Washout period was of 3 weeks only. Thus, these categories are not applicable for placebo washout arm.

Abdominal pain free days are those days where the participant reported a score of '0' for abdominal pain at its worst. Abdominal Pain (in the last 24 hours) is based on an 11-point scale where 0 represents no abdominal pain and 10 represents very severe abdominal pain.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to Day 105 (weeks 3-6 in period 1, weeks 12-15 in period 2)

Population: Intent to Treat population.

The GIS comprised of ten questions, all rated on a seven point scale ranging from substantially worse (7) to substantially improved (1). GIS assesses the participant's improvement (or worsening) as assessed by the clinician on a 7-point scale: 1: very much improved; 2: much improved; 3: minimally improved; 4: no change; 5: minimally worse; 6: much worse; or 7: very much worse. Number of participants who showed improvement and changes on the scale were presented. Participants were counted as "Yes" if they scored 1-3, and as "No" if they scored 4-7.

Timeframe: Up to Day 105 (weeks 3-6 in period 1, weeks 12-15 in period 2)

Population: Intent to Treat population. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed. Washout period was of 3 weeks only. Thus, these categories are not applicable for placebo washout arm.

HAD Scale was used to assess the severity of symptoms of anxiety and depression in participants. There were 14 questions. Seven questions related to depression and seven questions related to anxiety. Participants rated the severity of symptoms in the answer to each question. There were four options in each answer, from which participants had to select one. Responses were scored on a scale of 0, 1, 2 or 3, where 0 indicated best and 3 indicated worse. Total score ranged from 0-42 where 0 indicated absence of symptoms and higher scores indicated higher anxiety/depression complains. This questionnaire was completed at screening, and all study visits.
