The objective of this study is to assess the long-term safety of linaclotide administered to patients with chronic constipation (CC) or irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).
Participants include randomization-ineligible (RI) patients from the lead-in double-blind trials MCP-103-302 (NCT00938717) or MCP-103-303 (NCT00730015), or rollover (RO) patients from the lead-in double-blind trials MCP-103-302 (NCT00938717), MCP-103-303 (NCT00730015), and from the Phase 2 double-blind studies MCP-103-004 (NCT00306748), MCP-103-005 (NCT00258193), and MCP-103-201 (NCT00402337), or MCP-103-202 (NCT00460811).

Linaclotide capsules, oral, once daily each morning at least 30 minutes before breakfast for the duration of the study.
Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
For RI and Phase 2 RO participants, an AE that occurred during the study was considered a TEAE if it was not present before the day of the first dose of open-label study drug, or was present before the day of the first dose of open-label study drug but increased in severity on or after that day. For Phase 3 RO participants, an AE that occurred during the study was considered a TEAE if it was not present before the day of the first dose of double-blind study drug in trial MCP-103-302 or MCP-103-303, or was present before the day of the first dose of double-blind study drug in those trials but increased in severity on or after that day. Deaths and serious AEs (SAEs) are those that occurred on or after the date of the first dose of open-label study drug, and within 30 days of the date of last dose of open-label study drug.
Time frame: From first dose of open-label study drug up to 78 weeks
