The findings showed that the patients who received plecanatide had improved bowel function, more frequent bowel movements and less abdominal discomfort.
Plecanatide also demonstrated an improved safety profile and no severe adverse events were observed.
The study enrolled 78 evaluable patients, who received a once-daily dose of placebo or plecanatide for 14 consecutive days at oral doses of 0.3mg, 1mg, 3mg or 9mg.
