A Phase 3, Open Label Responder Treatment Period With a Randomized, Blinded, Three-Period Crossover, Followed by an Open Label Safety Period to Evaluate the Clinical Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Investigational Drug MP-101 (Opium Tincture and Opium Tincture With Reduced Uncharacterized Material) to Treat Chronic Diarrhea in Subjects With Short Bowel Syndrome Who Have Had an Inadequate Response to Anti-Diarrheals

Overview
Brief Summary
MP-101 will be evaluated in this study to see if it is safe, tolerable, and can help people with Short Bowel Syndrome. This study will also find out if taking MP-101 can improve the symptoms of Short Bowel Syndrome and reduce the number of times subjects experience bowel movements.

- •a. Subjects must be \>3months post intestinal resection
- •Have a history of persistent loose stools for more than 4 weeks
- •Be on a combination of Opium Tincture and an anti-diarrheal (loperamide or diphenoxylate) or an anti-diarrheal agent alone

- •Be able to maintain their current diet for the duration of the study
- •Be on stable nutritional support (parenteral or oral)
- •Males or non-pregnant, non-lactating females who are postmenopausal, naturally or surgically sterile, or who agree to use effective contraceptive methods throughout the course of the study.

Exclusion Criteria
- •Unable or unwilling to stop the use of Opium Tincture or any anti-diarrheal medication at the screening visit.
- •Have any history of or active neurological, endocrine, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematological, immunologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disease that is considered clinically significant, is not currently controlled by medication, and is stable as deemed by the Investigator
