What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial, so it may not show enough benefit over placebo. Side effects are still being studied, and the drug may not reach the market for years, if at all.
