Percentage of Patients Who Were Composite Weekly Responders
A patient is categorized as a composite weekly responder if the patient achieved the prespecified response displayed in the following for at least 50% of the weeks during the interval from weeks 1-12. Abdominal pain response: a decrease in the weekly average of worst abdominal pain (as measured by the 11-point NRS-scale) in the past 24 hours score of at least 30% compared with baseline. Stool consistency response: a 50% or greater reduction in the number of days per week with at least one stool that has a consistency of Type 6 or 7 (as measured by the Bristol Stool Form Scale) compared with baseline.
Time frame: 1-12 weeks
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by NCI CTCAE v5.0
The number of participants with adverse events both severe and non-severe, assessed for severity based on the 5-grade criteria set by the NCI CTCAE version 5.0.
Time frame: 1-52weeks

Abdominal pain response: a decrease in the weekly average of worst abdominal pain (as measured by the 11-point NRS-scale) in the past 24 hours score of at least 30% compared with baseline. Stool consistency response: a 50% or greater reduction in the number of days per week with at least one stool that has a consistency of Type 6 or 7 (as measured by the Bristol Stool Form Scale) compared with baseline.
Time frame: 1-8weeks、1-4weeks、5-8weeks、9-12weeks

Percentage of Patients Who Were Stool Consistency Weekly Responder
A patient is categorized as an stool consistency weekly responder if the patient achieved prespecified response, i.e. a 50% or greater reduction in the number of days per week with at least one stool that has a consistency of Type 6 or 7 (as measured by the Bristol Stool Form Scale) compared with baseline on at least 50% of weeks during the interval from weeks 1-12、weeks 1-8、weeks 1-4、weeks 5-8 or weeks 9-12.

Percentage of Patients Who Were Abdominal Bloating Weekly Responder
A patient is categorized as an abdominal bloating weekly responder if the patient achieved prespecified response, i.e. a decrease in the weekly average of worst abdominal bloating (as measured by the 11-point NRS-scale) in the past 24 hours score of at least 30% compared with baseline on at least 50% of weeks during the interval from weeks 1-12、weeks 1-8、weeks 1-4、weeks 5-8 or weeks 9-12.

Percentage of Participants Who Were Responders in IBS Symptoms Relief Scale
Relief of IBS symptoms was assessed once weekly by patients answering the IBS Symptoms Relief Scale in the electronic diary. Responders were defined as patients with a weekly response of "Yes" to relief of their IBS symptoms for at least 50% of weeks during the interval from weeks 1-12、weeks 1-8、weeks 1-4、weeks 5-8 or weeks 9-12.
Time frame: 1-12weeks、1-8weeks、1-4weeks、5-8weeks、9-12weeks
Change from Baseline in the Weekly Average of Worst Abdominal Pain in the Past 24 hours
Symptoms of abdominal pain were measured by the 11-point NRS-scale, where 0 corresponded to no abdominal pain and 10 corresponded to worst imaginable abdominal pain. A negative change from Baseline indicates the abdominal pain decreased.
Time frame: 1-12 weeks
Change from Baseline in the Number of Days per Week with at Least One Stool with Consistency of Type 6 or 7
Patients recorded the number of days per week with at least one stool with consistency of Type 6 or 7 during weeks 1-12. Stool consistency was measured by the Bristol Stool Form Scale.
Time frame: 1-12 weeks
Change from Baseline in the Number of Stools of Type 6 or 7 per Week
Patients recorded the number of stools of Type 6 or 7 every day during weeks 1-12. Stool consistency was measured by the Bristol Stool Form Scale.
Time frame: 1-12 weeks
Change from Baseline in the Weekly Average of Worst Abdominal Bloating in the Past 24 Hours Score
Symptoms of abdominal bloating were measured by the 11-point NRS-scale, where 0 corresponded to no abdominal bloating and 10 corresponded to worst imaginable abdominal bloating. A negative change from Baseline indicates the abdominal bloating decreased.
Time frame: 1-12 weeks
Change from baseline in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scale (IBS-SSS) Scores
The IBS Symptom Severity Score is produced from 5 symptom responses on the questionnaire, the total score with a possible range of scores from 0 to 500. A negative change from Baseline indicates that IBS symptom severity improved.
Time frame: week4、week8、week9、week12、week20、week28、week36、week44、week52
Change from baseline in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life Scale (IBS-QoL) Total Scores
The IBS-QoL consists of 34 items each with a 5-point response scale, where 1 generally represents better responses on items and 5 represents worse responses. The individual responses to the answered items were summed and standardized for a total score and then transformed to a 0- to 100- point scale (0=worst; 100=better) for ease of interpretation. A positive change from Baseline indicates that quality of life improved.
Time frame: week4、week8、week9、week12、week20、week28、week36、week44、week52
