Overview
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of tenapanor (25 mg and 50 mg) in pediatric patients (≥12 and <18 years old) with IBS-C when administered twice daily (BID) for 12 consecutive weeks.
Detailed Description
This study consists of 2-week screening period followed by 12 week randomized treatment period (RTP) and a 2-week treatment-free Follow-Up period (only for patients who will not enter the 40-week Long Term Safety Extension Study \[TEN-01-306\]). At the beginning of the 2-week Screening period, patients who provide written assent will be fully assessed for eligibility into the study and will be asked to self-report daily information about the status of their IBS symptoms via an electronic diary (eDiary) device. Patient compliance with the eDiary will be monitored actively by the site staff and will be reviewed to determine eligibility at the end of screening. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive one of the study medications: tenapanor 25 mg BID, tenapanor 50 mg BID, or placebo. During the 12-week double-blind RTP, patients will continue recording daily assessments via the eDiary system as instructed and compliance with eDiary entries will be monitored on an ongoing basis. Patients will return for study visit every two or four weeks (Visits 3-6) and will undergo safety assessments at these visits. Patients who do not enter the 40-week Long Term Safety Extension Study \[TEN-01-306\] including those who complete the RTP but do not enter study TEN-01-306 and those who prematurely discontinue from the RTP, a Follow-Up Visit will be scheduled approximately 2 weeks after the completion of the RTP (Visit 6) or the Early Termination Visit at which safety assessments will be performed

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
6/12-week APS (abdominal pain and SBM) +2 response
Time Frame: 12 weeks
6/12-week APS (abdominal pain and SBM (spontaneous bowel movement)) +2 response, defined as achieving the weekly APS +2 response criteria (i.e., achieving both weekly SBM +2 response and weekly abdominal pain response during the same week) for ≥6 out of the 12 weeks of the RTP. * The weekly SBM +2 response is defined as having an increase of ≥2 from baseline in the average weekly SBM frequency for a given week * The weekly abdominal pain response is defined as having ≥30% reduction from baseline in the average weekly abdominal pain score for a given week
Secondary Outcomes
- 6/12-week SBM +2 response(12 weeks)
- 6/12-week abdominal pain response(12 weeks)
- Change from baseline in average weekly SBM frequency(12 weeks)
- Change from baseline in average weekly stool consistency score(12 weeks)
- Change from baseline in average weekly abdominal pain score(12 weeks)
- Overall use of rescue medication(12 weeks)
