The BALANCE Study is testing an oral study drug called camlipixant to see if it helps adults with 2 forms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D or IBS-M). IBS-D involves mostly diarrhea, while IBS-M includes both diarrhea and constipation.
The study drug is being tested to see if it can reduce the activation of nerves in the gut that trigger abdominal pain, stool irregularity, and other IBS symptoms. During the study, camlipixant or placebo is taken as a tablet twice each day, and it is hoped that camlipixant will help improve the quality of life of people affected by IBS-D and IBS-M.
