What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PlecanatideDrug
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Plecanatide 3.0 mg | Experimental | Plecanatide 3.0 mg, one tablet by mouth daily for 52 weeks Receives: Drug: Plecanatide |

Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value collected prior to first dose of study drug)
Measured: From first dose up to 72 weeks
Summary of Treatment-Emergent Laboratory Abnormalities With At Least a 1-grade Shift From Baseline
Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value collected prior to first dose of study drug within a given entry into the study. The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Grades 1 through 5 were used for descriptions of severity for each Adverse Event (AE): Grade 1 - Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated; Grade 2 - Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age appropriate instrumental Activities of Daily Living (ADL); Grade 3 - Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL; Grade 4 - Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5 - Death related to AE.
Measured: From first dose up to 72 weeks
Secondary outcomes (4)
Summary of Patient Patient Global Assessment (PGA) for Constipation Severity at > Day 364
Constipation severity was measured using a 5-point score: 1=None, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe, 5=Very severe Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value collected prior to first dose of study drug within a given entry into the study.
Measured: Form first dose up to 72 weeks
Summary of Patient Global Assessment (PGA) for Constipation - Change From Baseline to > Day 364
Change of Constipation measured using a 7-point score: 1=Very Much Improved, 2=Much Improved, 3=Minimally Improved, 4=No change, 5=Minimally Worse, 6=Much Worse, 7=Very Much Worse Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value collected prior to first dose of study drug within a given entry into the study.
Measured: From first dose up to 72 weeks
Summary of Patient Global Assessment (PGA) for Treatment Satisfaction at > Day 364
Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value collected prior to first dose of study drug within a given entry into the study. Treatment Satisfaction was measured using a 5-point score: 1=Not At All Satisfied, 2=A Little Satisfied, 3=Moderately Satisfied, 4=Quite Satisfied, 5=Very Satisfied.
Measured: From first dose up to 72 weeks
Summary of Patient Global Assessment (PGA) for Treatment Continuation at End of Treatment
Treatment continuation was measured using 5-point score: 1=Not At All Likely, 2=A Little Likely, 3=Moderately Likely, 4=Quite Likely, 5=Very Likely
Measured: From first dose up to 72 weeks
