Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: to evaluate the effects of linaclotideas compared to placebo on motility index and on the number of colonic high amplitude propagated contractions (HAPCs) during a 8-hour intraluminal manometry in healthy subjects. ;Secondary Objective: to evaluate the association between motility parameters and sensations (abdominal gas, desire to defecate, urgency to defecate and abdominal discomfort) as well as number and consistency of bowel movements.;Primary end point(s): Motility index during the 8 hours after treatment initiation and number of HAPCs. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: end of the trial | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary: Sensations score on visual analogue scales and number and consistency of bowel movements as assessed by the Bristol Stool Scale.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: end of the trial | — |
