Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With an Average of 3 or More Spontaneous Complete Bowel Movements (SCBMs)
Week 1 to 12

Percentage of responders (responders: participants with an average of 3 or more SCBMs per week) will be assessed during 12-week double-blind treatment phase (total treatment duration). SCBM is defined as a Spontaneous Bowel Movement (SBM) associated with a sense of complete evacuation. SBM is defined as a bowel movement (BM) that occurred in the absence of laxative, enema, or suppository used on either the calendar day of the BM or the calendar day before the BM. The total number of SBMs associated with a feeling of complete evacuation will be summed and divided by 12. Average weekly frequency of SCBMs will be calculated as number of SCBMs in treatment phase multiplied by 7 divided by total number of evaluable days in treatment phase.

Secondary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With an Average of 3 or More SCBMs During the First 4 Weeks
Week 1 to 4
Percentage of Participants With an Average Increase of 1 or More Bowel Movements (BMs)
Week 1 to 12
Percentage of Participants With an Average of 3 or More SCBMs During Weeks 5 to 8 and 9 to 12
Week 5 to Week 8 and Week 9 to Week 12
