Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The main objective of the trial is the change of bowel movement frequency per week between baseline and visit 4 compared to placebo. ;Secondary Objective: • Change in the number of bowel movements per week • Change in the number of bowel movements during study duration • Change in stool consistency • Changes in gastrointestinal well-being • Change in general well-being • Change in liver and lipid metabolism function laboratory parameters • Change in gut flora parameters • Change in waist and hip circumference • Change in body weight and blood pressure • Global evaluation of efficacy by both investigators and subjects • Global evaluation of tolerability by both investigators and subjects • Safety laboratory parameters;Primary end point(s): Difference in the change of bowel movements per week, from baseline to visit 4 between verum and placebo;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The change of bowel movements per week will be assessed by comparison of the number of bowel movements in the week before Visit 4 and the week before baseline . | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Change in the number of bowel movements per week compared to placebo • Change in the number of bowel movements during the study course compared to placebo • Change in stool consistency compared to placebo • Changes in gastrointestinal well-being compared to placebo • Change in general well-being compared to placebo • Change in liver and lipid metabolism function laboratory parameters compared to placebo • Change in body weight and blood pressure compared to placebo • Change in waist and hip circumference compared to placebo • Global evaluation of efficacy and tolerability by both investigators and subjects • Safety Laboratory parameters ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • Bowel movements frequency: Baseline and at V3 • Bowel movements frequency: time course of the study (diary) • Stool consistency: Baseline and at V3/V4 • Gastrointestinal well-being baseline and at V3/V4 • General well-being: baseline and at V3/V4 • Liver and lipid metabolism function laboratory parameters: baseline and at V3/V4 • Gut flora parameters: screening Visit and at V4 • Body weight/blood pressure: baseline and at V3/V4 • Waist and hip circumference: baseline and at V3/V4 • Global evaluation of efficacy and tolerability: V4 • Laboratory parameters: screening Visit and V4 | — |
