Objective: To determine the efficacy, impact on quality of life (QOL) and safety of prucalopride, a selective, high-affinity 5-HT4 receptor agonist, in patients with chronic constipation.Methods: In this multicentre, randomised, placebo controlled, parallel-group, phase III study, patients with chronic constipation (two or fewer spontaneous complete bowel movements (SCBM)/week) received 2 mg or 4 mg prucalopride or placebo, once daily, for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients reaching three or more SCBM/week. The key secondary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients having an increase of one or more SCBM/week. The primary QOL endpoint was the patient assessment of constipation QOL satisfaction subscale score. Safety parameters included adverse events, laboratory values and cardiovascular events.Results: Efficacy was evaluated over 713 patients. Averaged over 12 weeks, higher proportions of patients on prucalopride 2 mg (19.5%; p
