When abnormal stooloccurred in the last 3 months, the proportion of abnormal stool was >25% forBristol fecal trait type 6 or 7, and <25% for Bristol fecal trait type 1 or 2 (see Appendix 13.3: IBS Rome IV diagnostic criteria and subtype classificationcriteria).
  1. Colonoscopy has been completed within 12 months before the run-in period. Theileocecal part should be observed during endoscopy, and the ileocecal flapimage recording should be included in the report. They may be included if oneof the following conditions is met: (i) The colonoscopy report is normal; (ii)Abnormalities reported by colonoscopy, such as hemorrhoids and intestinalpolyps (diameter ≤5mm and number ≤3), were determined by the investigator to beeligible for inclusion; (iii) Colonoscopy reported that the diameter ofintestinal polyps was >5mm or the number of intestinal polyps was >3; afterendoscopic treatment, the diameter of residual intestinal polyps was ≤5mm andthe number of intestinal polyps was ≤3, and the investigators determined thatthey could be included in the group.
  1. Colonoscopy or endoscopy should be performed at least 4 weeks before the run-inperiod, and IBS symptoms still occur before the run-in period.
  1. During the run-in period, the average number of days with type 6 or type 7fecal traits per week was ≥4 days, and the average NRS score (the highest scorewithin 24 hours) of daily abdominal pain intensity on days with type 6 or type 7 fecal traits was ≥3.0.
  1. Patients completed diary at least 5 days in the week before randomization (D-7to D-1) and at least 10 days in the 2 weeks before randomization (D-14 to D-1).
  1. The patient had not used any relief drugs or analgesics in the 14 days prior torandomization.
  1. During the period from the signing of the master informed consent to the end ofthe final study visit, patients agreed to maintain their usual diet andlifestyle, such as no changes in dietary structure or exercise patterns.

  1. People who are positive for antibodies against hepatitis C virus (HCV), orhuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or syphilis, or hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and need antiviral therapy at the screening stage.
  1. Laboratory tests showed significant abnormalities, and the investigatordetermined that the patient's participation in the study may compromise his orher safety, including but not limited to: (i) Creatinine ≥1.5 times the upperlimit of normal (ULN); (ii) AST≥2 times upper limit of normal (ULN) and/orALT≥2 times upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or total bilirubin ≥1.5 times upperlimit of normal (ULN).

Study Description

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic, functional bowel disease characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, or abdominal discomfort. Symptoms may improve after bowel movements, and are often accompanied by changes in bowel habits [frequency and/or fecal trait ]. There is a lack of organic lesions that can be detected by routine clinical examination to explain these symptoms.

The pathogenesis of IBS is the result of a combination of factors, including visceral hypersensitivity, intestinal immunity and inflammation, gastrointestinal motility abnormalities, and intestinal flora. SK08 can relieve abdominal pain and diarrhea by protecting intestinal barrier function, regulating immunity (such as reducing inflammatory factors TNF-α etc., promoting macrophages to phagocytosis of pathogenic bacteria), and correcting bacterial imbalance, to achieve the therapeutic effect.
