  • Ability to understand the participant information sheet and instructions, and able to provide informed consent.
  • Access to a suitable smartphone device (Android or iOS) with ability to download and complete the study e-Diary daily for the duration of the trial.

排除标准

  • Ongoing other diagnosed gastrointestinal disease or complication (Crohn's disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Coeliac disease, chronic diarrhoea).
  • Any clinically relevant abnormalities in the screening visit physical examination or alarm features in the medical history such as sudden unintentional weight loss (>10% in 3 months), frequent rectal bleeding not caused by anal fissures or hemorrhoids, recent change in bowel habit (<3 months), severe abdominal pain and stool positive for occult blood.

  • Neurologic diseases such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord injury, Hirschsprung disease.
  • Chronic usage of any medication that in the opinion of the investigator would impact gut motility two weeks prior to the initial administration of study product or up to a minimum of 5 times the half-life of the medication if it has a long half-life.
  • Illness that may preclude the participant's ability to complete the study or that may confound the study outcomes (e.g. bowel cancer, prostate cancer, terminal illness, severe cardiovascular disease, chronic renal failure or eating disorders) or any other serious illness resulting in >2 weeks inability to work in the 3 months before the study start.
  • Participants with co-morbid illnesses such as cardiovascular, endocrine, renal or other chronic disease likely to affect gut motility or limit normal functions (e.g. reduced mobility or increased fragility).
  • Ongoing alcohol, drug, or medication abuse (anamnesis only).
  • Self-reported symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, such as feeling of pressure or fullness in the pelvic area, intra vaginal discomfort, painful intercourse and urinary problems.
  • Moderate or severe active local anorectal problems such as recurrent anal fissures, frequent bleeding, large prolapsing haemorrhoids.

  • Participation in another study with any investigational product within 6 months of screening.
  • Participation in another constipation trial in the past year.
  • Investigator believes that the participant is physically or mentally unfit to participate in the trial

结局指标

主要结局

SBM

时间窗: Baseline to end of treatment, up to 6 weeks.

Change in mean frequency of Spontaneous Bowel Movements (SBM) as measured by the daily bowel diary from baseline to Week 6 in the treatment group compared to placebo. Frequency will be defined as the mean number of SBM for the 2-week run-in period prior to V0 and the final 2-week period of the intervention period.
