Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vibrant Capsule vs. Placebo for Patient Suffering From Constipation (NCT NCT05036369)

NCT ID: NCT05036369

Last Updated: 2024-07-09

Results Overview

CSBM1 Success Rate: defined as the number of Participants with an increase from the run-in period of at least one weekly Complete Spontaneous Bowel Movement (CSBM) during at least 6 of the 8 weeks of treatment. NOTE: A spontaneous bowel movement (SBM) is defined as a bowel movement that occurs at least 48h after laxative/rescue intake and without digital maneuver. A complete spontaneous bowel movement (CSBM) is defined as a spontaneous bowel movement associated with a feeling of complete evacuation by the subject.
