Summary

This phase 3, 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of tenapanor in subjects with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) as defined by the ROME III criteria and who have active disease as determined after a two-week screening period. Subjects who qualify and are randomized into the study will either receive 50mg BID of tenapanor or placebo BID for 12 week treatment period and then undergo a 4 week placebo controlled randomized withdrawal.
