Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
IBS-SSS (Severity Symptom Score)
The questionnaire is to be completed by the subject
Secondary Outcome Measures
IBS-GIS (Global Improvement Score)
The questionnaire is to be completed by the subject
IBS-QOL (Quality of Life)
The questionnaire is to be completed by the subject
Pain and discomfort diary
The diary is to be completed by the subject on a daily basis
Efficacy assessment by investigator
The investigator rates the efficacy of the investigational product using a 4-point Likert scale (poor, moderate, good, very good)
Efficacy assessment by subject
The subject rates the efficacy of the investigational product using a 4-point Likert scale (poor, moderate, good, very good)
Full blood count
After sampling, venous blood samples will be transported on same day in cooler boxes to a central laboratory for analysis of hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocytes, thrombocytes, and leucocytes
Clinical chemistry
Venous blood samples are obtained at screening and the end of the study (8 weeks)
Fecal calprotectin
The samples will be later tested by an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) specific for calprotectin
Blood pressure
Sitting blood pressure and heart rate will be measured using standard devices
Safety assessment by subject
The subject rates the safety of the IP using a 4-point Likert scale (poor, moderate, good, very good)
Safety assessment by investigator
The investigator rates the safety of the IP using a 4-point Likert scale (poor, moderate, good, very good)
Adverse events
At all visits, subjects will be asked if any AE has occurred; such events will be recorded in the source documents and case report forms
