Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percentage of 12-Week CSBM Overall Responders
Time Frame: Week 12
|
A 12-week CSBM Overall Responder is a participant who was a CSBM Weekly Responder for at least 9 of the 12 weeks of the Treatment Period. A CSBM Weekly Responder is a participant who had a CSBM weekly frequency rate that was 3 or greater and increased by 1 or more from baseline, and completed ≥ 4 IVRS calls for the specified week. A CSBM is defined as an SBM that is associated with a sense of complete evacuation. An SBM is defined as a bowel movement BM that occurred in the absence of laxative, enema, or suppository use on either the calendar day of the BM or the calendar day before the BM. |

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change From Baseline in 12-Week CSBM Frequency Rate
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 1 to Week 12
|
A participant's 12-week CSBM Frequency Rate is the CSBM rate (CSBMs/week) calculated over the 12 weeks of the Treatment Period.
A CSBM is defined as an SBM that is associated with a sense of complete evacuation.
An SBM is defined as a BM that occurred in the absence of laxative, enema, or suppository use on either the calendar day of the BM or the calendar day before the BM.
|
Baseline, Week 1 to Week 12
|
Change From Baseline in 12-Week SBM Frequency Rate
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 1 to Week 12
|
A participant's 12-week SBM Frequency Rate is the SBM rate (SBMs/week) calculated over the 12-weeks of the Treatment Period.
An SBM is defined as a BM that occurred in the absence of laxative, enema, or suppository use on either the calendar day of the BM or the calendar day before the BM.
|
Baseline, Week 1 to Week 12
|
Change From Baseline in 12-Week Stool Consistency Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 1 to Week 12
|
Stool consistency was measured daily using the 7-point ordinal Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS; 1 = separate hard lumps like nuts [difficult to pass]; 2 = sausage shaped but lumpy; 3 = like a sausage but with cracks on surface; 4 = like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft; 5 = soft blobs with clear-cut edges [passed easily]; 6 = fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool; 7 = watery, no solid pieces [entirely liquid]).
The participant's BSFS score for the Treatment Period is the average of the non-missing BSFS scores from the SBMs reported by the participant during the 12-week Treatment Period.
|
Baseline, Week 1 to Week 12
|
Change From Baseline in 12-Week Straining Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 1 to Week 12
|
Straining was measured daily using a 5-point ordinal scale (1 = not at all; 2 = a little bit; 3 = a moderate amount; 4 = a great deal; 5 = an extreme amount).
The participant's straining score for the Treatment Period is the average of the non-missing straining scores from the SBMs reported by the participant during the 12-week Treatment Period.
|
Baseline, Week 1 to Week 12
|
Percentage of 12-Week CSBM Overall Responders (>1 SBM/Week Subpopulation)
Time Frame: Week 12
|
A 12-week CSBM Overall Responder is a participant who was a CSBM Weekly Responder for at least 9 of the 12 weeks of the Treatment Period. A CSBM Weekly Responder is a participant who had a CSBM weekly frequency rate that was 3 or greater and increased by 1 or more from baseline, and completed ≥4 IVRS calls for the specified week. A CSBM is defined as an SBM that is associated with a sense of complete evacuation. An SBM is defined as a BM that occurred in the absence of laxative, enema, or suppository use on either the calendar day of the BM or the calendar day before the BM. |

|
Baseline, Week 1 to Week 12
|
