Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients Having Minimum Reduction of 50% or Normalization (≤3 Stools/24hours) in the Mean Number of Stools (Mean of Last 7 Days)Day 28
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in QOL-Quality of Life {Assess Using Short Form (SF-36) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)-QOL} Compared to BaselineBaseline (Day 1), Day 21, Day 28, Day 49 and Day 56

SF36 QOL includes 1 multi-item scale measuring each of 8 health concepts. These scores are summed to produce raw scale scores for each health concept which are transformed to a 0-100 scale. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability. There is in addition a single-item measure of Health Transition

IBS-QOL is a self-report QOL measure specific to IBS that can be used to assess impact of IBS and its treatment. This consists of 34 items,each with a 5 point response scale.Individual responses to 34 items are summed and averaged for a total score and transformed to a 0-100 scale with higher scores indicating better IBS specific QOL

Percent Change in Mean Number of Stools Compared to BaselineBaseline (Day 1), Day 28 and Day 56
Percentage of Patients Having Minimum Reduction of At Least 50% or Normalization of the Mean Number of StoolsDay 56
Change in Median Score of Stool Consistency (Bristol Stool Form Scale) Compared to BaselineBaseline (day 1), day 28 and day 56

Each patient scored his/her stool on the Bristol Stool Form Scale: Type 1 - Separate hard lumps, like nuts (hard to pass); Type 2 - Sausage-shaped but lumpy; Type 3 - Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface; Type 4 - Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft; Type 5 - Soft blobs with clear-cut edges (passed easily); Type 6 - Fluffy pieces with ragged edges, a mushy stool; Type 7 - Water no solid pieces, Entirely liquid

Change From Baseline in Relative Frequency of Normalization (≤3 Stools) in SubjectsBaseline (Day 1), Day 28 and Day 56

Normalization of stool frequency in subjects with refractory diarrhoea at Day 28 and Day 56 (mean of last 7 days) compared to Baseline.
