Study Summary

To evaluate the safety and tolerability, treatment effect on abdominal pain, and dose response of MD-7246 administered orally to patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).

Primary Outcome

Abdominal pain is measured daily in an eDiary, using an 11-point NRS, where 0 is anchored with "no abdominal pain" and 10 is anchored with "worst possible abdominal pain." The postbaseline weekly abdominal pain score is the average of the non-missing daily abdominal pain at its worst scores during a week (Weeks 1-12) if there are at least 4 daily scores entered into the eDiary during the week. Weekly change from baseline was calculated for each week as the weekly score minus the baseline score.
