Creating a diary tool to track symptoms of diarrhea in irritable bowel syndrome.
Preparation and Submission Support of a Full Qualification Package (FQP) for the Diary for Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms—Diarrhea (DIBSS-D) (DDT #000148)
This study is creating a helpful diary tool for people with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) to track their symptoms and experiences, so that we can better understand their needs and improve treatment options.

What this research studies
This research focuses on developing a comprehensive diary tool specifically designed to track symptoms of diarrhea in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). The project involves gathering insights from patients to identify the most relevant symptoms and experiences associated with IBS-D. By conducting interviews and reviewing existing literature, the research aims to create a standardized measure that can help in assessing the severity of symptoms and improve treatment options for patients. Ultimately, this tool will support regulatory approval processes for new therapies targeting IBS-D.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, particularly those experiencing predominant diarrhea.
Not a fit: Patients with irritable bowel syndrome who do not experience diarrhea or those with other gastrointestinal disorders may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better symptom management and treatment options for patients suffering from IBS-D.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has successfully developed similar patient-reported outcome measures for other conditions, indicating a promising approach for this project.
