简要总结
The aim of this study is to better understand how tenapanor affects the metagenomics and metabolomics of patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). Tenapanor is the newest FDA-approved agent for IBS-C. It is a small molecule that inhibits the NHE3 receptor, leading to impaired sodium and water absorption in the intestine. Previous clinical trials comparing tenapanor to placebo showed that a 50 mg dose of tenapanor led to increased bowel movements and decreased abdominal pain. This study consists of an 8-week treatment period in which subjects will ingest one capsule of tenapanor (50 mg per dose), twice daily, and send in stool samples following 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Measuring metagenomics of stool samples using whole genome shotgun sequencing (WGS)
时间窗: Subjects will submit stool samples at 0 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks following treatment.
Sequence-based microbial community surveys will be carried out by whole genome shotgun sequencing (WGS) at the Broad Institute using their established sequencing and analysis pipeline for the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform used in Human Microbiome Project (HMP) to characterize rare taxa and understand relationships between community membership and function. Composition analysis of metagenome will be performed using the read-based bioinformatics analysis suite. Functional genomic profiles, detailed species-specific reconstruction of microbial metabolic pathways, their complement of gene orthologs, taxonomic distributions, and abundances will be generated with HUMAnN2. This will provide taxon-specific profiles of UniRef orthologous gene families, MetCyc, UniPathway, and KEGG pathways to survey microbial community metabolite production potential in each metagenome according to tenapanor use.
Measuring metabolomics of stool samples using the DiscoveryHD4TM Platform
时间窗: Subjects will submit stool samples at 0 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks following treatment.
Stool samples will also undergo metabolomics profiling at Metabolon Inc using the DiscoveryHD4TM Platform, a comprehensive and well-validated high-throughput metabolomics platform available for clinical and research use. Metabolites are identified by automated comparison of the ion features in the experimental samples to a reference library of \~8,000 chemical standard entries that include retention time, molecular weight (m/z), preferred adducts, in-source fragments and MS spectra, and they are visually curated for quality control using Metabolon software.
