Key clinical point: Once-daily 75 mg vibegron was not associated with a clinically significant improvement in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-associated abdominal pain in women with diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D) or mixed diarrhea/constipation IBS (IBS-M).

 

Major finding: At week 12, the percentage of women with IBS-D (40.9% vs 42.9%; P = .8222) or IBS-M (28.9% vs 24.4%; P = .6151) experiencing ≥30% improvement in IBS-associated abdominal pain was not significantly different with vibegron vs placebo. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was comparable between the treatment groups.

 

Study details: The data come from a phase 2 randomized controlled trial including 222 adult women with IBS-D or IBS-M who were randomly assigned to receive 75 mg vibegron (n = 111) or placebo (n = 111).

 

Disclosures: This study was funded by Urovant Sciences. J King, D Shortino, C Schaumburg, and C Haag-Molkenteller declared being former employees of Urovant Sciences. Some authors declared receiving research grants or serving as consultants or on scientific advisory boards for various sources, including Urovant Sciences.
