Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gastrointestinal Tolerance assessment | 12-week | Change from baseline in the mean of the daily composite score of gastrointestinal tolerance assessed with the Bristol Stool Scale (BSS) (composite score of stool frequency and consistency) and 10-point Likert scales filled (sum of the ratings of the 4 gastrointestinal symptoms scores) daily for 1 week prior to the completion of the 12-week treatment period (expressed in arbitrary unit/day (a.u./day), range 0-50) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Composite score of gastrointestinal tolerance | 6 weeks | Change from baseline in the mean of the daily composite score of gastrointestinal tolerance assessed with the BSS and 10-point Likert scales filled daily for 1 week prior to the completion of the 6-week treatment period (a.u./day, range 0-50) |
| Each component of the composite score of gastrointestinal tolerance | 6 weeks and 12 weeks | Change from baseline in the mean of each component of the composite score of gastrointestinal tolerance after 6 weeks and 12 weeks of treatment: 4 gastrointestinal symptoms (a.u./day, range 0-10), stool frequency (number of stools/day), stool consistency (a.u./stool, range 1-7) |
| Acceptability | 6 weeks and 12 weeks | Assessed by a self-questionnaire to measure the global satisfaction (4-point scales) |
