Analysis of pain and stool consistency responders. (a) Monthly pain responders (i.e., patients who met the daily pain response criteria for ≥50% of days with diary entries over a certain time period, defined for the full 12-week treatment period [≥60 days of diary entries for the full 12 weeks] and each 4-week interval [>20 days of diary entries for each 4-week interval] as ≥40% improvement in WAP compared with baseline). Analysis of responders who met the daily (b) 30% and (c) 50% improvement in WAP. (d) Analysis of monthly stool consistency responders (i.e., patients who met the daily stool consistency for ≥50% of days with diary entries over a certain time period, defined for the full 12-week treatment period [≥60 days of diary entries for the full 12 weeks] and each 4-week interval [>20 days of diary entries for each 4-week interval]) compared with baseline.
