PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Over 24 week treatment period

Population: Intent-to-Treat Population (ITT) includes all subjects randomized into the study who took at least 1 dose of investigational product. There were 21 subjects with a risk of potential unblinding due to an error in the randomization system who were excluded from the ITT Population to avoid the risk of bias to the study results.

Spontaneous Bowel Movements defined as a bowel movement that is not preceded within a period of 24 hours by the intake of a laxative agent or by the use of an enema.

The PAC-SYM is a validated 12-item questionnaire for the evaluation of severity of symptoms of constipation in subjects with constipation. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale: 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=very severe. Total score ranges from 0 to 48. Lower scores indicate improvement in symptoms. A 1-point improvement in PAC-SYM total score was considered clinically meaningful.

The PAC-QOL is a validated 28-item questionnaire for the evaluation of quality of life in subjects with constipation. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale: 0=not at all/none of the time, 1=a little bit/a little bit of the time, 2=moderately/some of the time, 3=quite a bit/most of the time, 4=extremely/all of the time. Total score ranges from 0-112. Lower scores indicate improvement in symptoms. A 1-point improvement in PAC-QOL total score was considered clinically meaningful.

The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Total score ranges from 0 (lowest level of health) - 100 (highest level of health) on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability (i.e. a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability). Higher scores are associated with better quality of life.
