About the BHT-II-0002 study
This study has recruited over 300 patients in 35 investigator sites in the USA and the UK. The interim analysis included evaluation of the primary endpoint of the study, which is based on the number of overall responders in each group.The definition of an overall responder is IBS subtype specific and consists of two components. For both IBS subtypes, the first component is the weekly average of abdominal pain intensity. Improvement is defined as a decrease of at least 30% compared with baseline. The second component is different for the two IBS subtypes and relates to stool frequency per week for IBS-C and a reduction in incidence of loose stool consistency for IBS-D compared with baseline. In order for a subject to be classed as a responder, both components must show improvement in the same week for at least 50% of the treatment period of 8 weeks.
