OBJECTIVES: Linaclotide is a minimally absorbed peptide guanylate cyclase-C agonist. The objective of this trial was to determine the efficacy and safety of linaclotide treatment in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) over 26 weeks.METHODS: This phase 3, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial randomized IBS-C patients to placebo or 290 mu g of oral linaclotide once daily for a 26-week treatment period. The primary and the secondary efficacy assessments were evaluated over the first 12 weeks of treatment. Primary end points included the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) end point for IBS-C (responder: a patient who reported (i) improvement of >= 30% from baseline in average daily worst abdominal pain score and (ii) increase of >= 1 complete spontaneous bowel movement (CSBM) from baseline, both in the same week for >= 6/12 weeks) and three other primary end points, based on improvements in abdominal pain and CSBMs for 9/12 weeks. Adverse events (AEs) were monitored.RESULTS: In all, 804 patients (mean age=44 years, female=90%, white=78%) were evaluated; 33.7% of linaclotide-treated patients were FDA end point responders, vs. 13.9% of placebo-treated patients (P
