Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of AV608, a neurokinin 1 (NK-1) antagonist, in subjects with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Detailed Description:
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study to assess the effects of AV608 on brain processing of visceral stimuli and emotional visual cues in subjects with IBS. Female subjects between 18 and 65 years of age who meet diagnostic criteria for Irritable Bowel Syndrome will be eligible for the study.
Eligible subjects will complete a baseline fMRI imaging procedure that includes both emotional visual cues and visceral stimulation. All subjects who participate in the study will receive 3 weeks of treatment with AV608 and 3 weeks of treatment with placebo during the course of the study; the order of the two treatments for each subject will be randomly determined.
