Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Linaclotide
Linaclotide 290 μg/day capsules, administered orally once daily for up to 78 weeks in participants with either CC or IBS-C. Dose reduction to 145 μg/day was permitted at the discretion of the Investigator if a participant experienced AEs intolerable enough to prompt consideration of study withdrawal. After a temporary suspension of dosing, participants may have received either 145 μg/day or 290 μg/day of linaclotide, at the discretion of the Investigator. Subsequent dose adjustments (increases or decreases between 290 μg/day and 145 μg/day) were permitted also at the Investigator's discretion.
