A Study to Investigate Abdominal Symptoms With Camlipixant Compared With Placebo in Adults With Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Diarrhea (IBS-D) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Mixed (IBS-M)
- Summary
- This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camlipixant in adults with IBS-D and IBS-M. The study has two parts. After the first part, some participants will be randomly chosen again to either get a higher dose or stop the drug.

Change from Baseline in Weekly Abdominal pain intensity (API) over Weeks 7 to 12
Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 7 to 12 (time - average)
Participants rate their pain intensity daily on a numeric rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Weekly API scores are derived by averaging daily API scores. Higher score indicates worst outcome. A repeated measures statistical analysis is applied to weekly scores, and the result for the Weeks 7 to 12 interval is obtained by averaging adjusted mean estimates for Weeks 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Change from Baseline in weekly abdominal score over Weeks 7 to 12
Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 7 to 12 (time - average)
Abdominal score is calculated by averaging scores for API, abdominal discomfort and abdominal bloating items of the Diary of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms-Mixed (DIBSS-M) and Diary of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms- Diarrhea (DIBSS-D). Each symptom is rated on a 0 (no symptoms) - 10 (worst imaginable severity) numeric rating scale. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. A repeated measures statistical analysis is applied to weekly scores, and the result for the Weeks 7 to 12 interval is obtained by averaging adjusted mean estimates for Weeks 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Percentage of API responders up to Week 12
Timeframe: Up to Week 12
API response: achieving 30 percent (%) reduction in API for greater than or equal to (\>=)50% of weekly scores up to Week 12
Change from Baseline in Weekly API over Weeks 7 to 12 (IBS-D participants)
Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 7 to 12 (time - average)
The DIBSS-D is a patient-reported outcome instrument used to track symptom severity in adults with diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D). Each symptom is rated on a 0 (no symptoms) - 10 (worst imaginable severity) numeric rating scale, where higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. A repeated measures statistical analysis is applied to weekly scores, and the result for the Weeks 7 to 12 interval is obtained by averaging adjusted mean estimates for Weeks 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Change from Baseline in Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) over Weeks 7 to 12 (IBS-D participants)
Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 7 to 12 (time - average)
The BSFS is a widely used 7-point ordinal scale of stool types, rated by the participant based on written and pictorial representations, ranging from the hardest (Type 1, hard lumps) to the softest (Type 7, watery diarrhea). Higher score indicates worst outcome. A repeated measures statistical analysis is applied to weekly scores, and the result for the Weeks 7 to 12 interval is obtained by averaging adjusted mean estimates for Weeks 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Percentage of API and Global Improvement Scale (GIS) responders (composite response) up to Week 12
Timeframe: Baseline and up to Week 12
The GIS is a 7-point single item participant rated likert scale which asks participants to rate their IBS symptoms over the previous 7 days using the below scale: Significantly relieved, moderately relieved, slightly relieved, Unchanged, Slightly worse, Moderately worse, Significantly worse. Higher score indicates worst outcome. API and GIS composite response: achieving significantly relieved or moderately relieved on GIS and decrease in weekly API of at least 30% compared with Baseline for \>=50% of weekly scores up to Week 12.
