This study will evaluate the effects of ORP-101 versus placebo on stool consistency and abdominal pain in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D). It will also assess the safety and tolerability of ORP-101 in patients with IBS-D.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ORP-101 in patients with IBS-D. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-arm, 12-week, parallel proof-of-concept study with 2 active arms (50 mg and 100 mg ORP-101, QD) and 1 matching placebo arm, using a responsive adaptive randomization approach. After screening, patients who qualify will enter the baseline symptom assessment period, during which they will be instructed on completion of an electronic diary for daily collection of data related to their IBS symptoms, bowel function and loperamide rescue usage (not allowed during baseline). Patients who meet all entry criteria will be randomized to receive one of two different doses of ORP-101 tablets or placebo for 12 weeks. The study drug will be taken once daily, approximately 30 minutes prior to breakfast. Patients will return to the clinic on Days 14, 28, 56, 84 (12 weeks) and 2 weeks after dosing has completed (Day 98) for a follow-up visit. Study subjects will include both male and female adults. Approximately 320 patients with IBS-D will be randomized to receive study drug or placebo. Randomization will be stratified by history of cholecystectomy/gallbladder agenesis.

Percentage of Participants Who Are Composite Responders Based on Improvements From Baseline in Daily Worst Abdominal Pain and Daily Stool Consistency Scores
Composite responders are defined as participants who met the daily response criteria for at least 50% of the days with diary entries over the 12-week interval. A participant must meet both of the following criteria on a given day to be a daily responder: 1) Daily pain response: worst abdominal pain scores in the past 24 hours improved by ≥30% compared to baseline (average of daily worst abdominal pain the week prior to randomization). 2) Average of daily stool consistency response for all reported bowel movements on the specific day: Bristol Stool Scale (BSS) score \<5 (ie, score of 1, 2, 3, or 4) or the absence of a bowel movement if accompanied by ≥30% improvement in worst abdominal pain compared to baseline pain.
Time frame: Week 12
Percentage of Participants Who Are Responders in Daily Worst Abdominal Pain Scores
Pain responders over the interval from Weeks 1-12 are defined as those patients who meet the daily pain response criteria for at least 50% of days with diary entry during the interval. To be eligible to be a responder, a patient must have a minimum of 60 days of diary entries over the 12-week interval.
Time frame: Week 12
Percentage of Participants Who Are Responders in Daily Stool Consistency Scores
Stool consistency responders over the interval from Weeks 1-12 are defined as those patients who meet the daily stool consistency response criteria for at least 50% of days with diary entry during the interval. To be eligible to be a responder, a patient must have a minimum of 60 days of diary entries over the 12-week interval.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 12
Percentage of Participants Who are Responders in IBS Global Symptom Scores
IBS Global Symptom Score: Change from baseline for interval from Weeks 1-12: A responder is defined as a patient who has an IBS global symptom score of 0 (none) or 1 (mild) or daily IBS symptom score improved by ≥ 2.0 compared to the average in the week prior to randomization. A minimum of 60 days of diary entries over the 12-week interval is required for responders.

Percentage of Participants Who are Responders in IBS Adequate Relief Scores
IBS Adequate Relief: Percent of responders over the interval from Weeks 1-12. Responders are defined as those patients with a weekly response of "Yes" to adequate relief of their IBS symptoms for at least 50% of the total weeks during the interval.
Time frame: Week 12
Percentage of Participants Who Are Modified Composite Responders Based on Responder Endpoints
A modified composite responder endpoint in which a daily responder will be defined as having both: 1) Pain response: worst abdominal pain score in the past 24 hours improved ≥ 30% compared to the average in the week prior to randomization. 2) Stool consistency response: all bowel movements on the specific day must have BSFS score \< 5 or the absence of a bowel movement if accompanied by ≥ 30% improvement in worst abdominal pain.
