Change From Baseline to Last 2 Weeks of the Treatment Period in the Number of Spontaneous Bowel Movements Per WeekBaseline (2 weeks prior to randomization) and the last 2 weeks of treatment (Weeks 3 to 4 for participants who completed the 28-day treatment period)Participants completed a daily Bowel Movement and Constipation Assessment Diary to record information about bowel movements and constipation. A spontaneous bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement unassisted by rescue medication (laxative or enema) taken within the 24 hours preceding the bowel movement.

Recruitment details

This study was conducted at 53 clinical sites in the United States. The first participant was enrolled on August 17, 2011 and the last participant completed on August 22, 2012. Participants must have met eligibility criteria and completed the Bowel Movement and Constipation Assessment (BMCA) Diary for a minimum of 14 days to enroll in the study.

Pre-assignment details

Participants were randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive placebo, naldemedine 0.1 mg, 0.2 mg, or 0.4 mg once daily. One participant was randomized twice, first to placebo and subsequently to naldemedine 0.4 mg, and is counted in both arms below and for safety analyses.

Change From Baseline to Last 2 Weeks of the Treatment Period in the Number of Spontaneous Bowel Movements Per Week

Participants completed a daily Bowel Movement and Constipation Assessment Diary to record information about bowel movements and constipation. A spontaneous bowel movement was defined as a bowel movement unassisted by rescue medication (laxative or enema) taken within the 24 hours preceding the bowel movement. Baseline was defined as the average number of SBMs per week during the 2 weeks prior to randomization. The number of SBMs per week in the last 2 weeks of treatment is defined as the average number of SBMs per week recorded in the diary for the 14 days prior to the last dose of study drug.

Time frame: Baseline (2 weeks prior to randomization) and the last 2 weeks of treatment (Weeks 3 to 4 for participants who completed the 28-day treatment period)

Change From Baseline to Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Number of SBMs Rated as 3 or 4 on the Bristol Stool Scale Per Week

Consistency of BMs was measured using the Bristol Stool Scale, according to the following: 1 = separate hard lumps like nuts; 2 = sausage shaped but lumpy; 3 = like a sausage, but with cracks on its surface; 4 = like a sausage or a snake, smooth and soft; 5 = soft blobs and with clear-cut edges; 6 = floppy pieces with ragged edges/mushy stool; 7 = watery, no solid pieces, entirely liquid.

Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4

Population: mITT population with values at both baseline and the specified time point.
