Primary Outcome

- Evaluate the efficacy of NRL001 in faecal incontinence by assessing the improvement of the incontinence status after 4 weeks of treatment compared to baseline by means of the Wexner score; time frame: Up to 8 weeks

end of 1:1-Block primary endpoint
start of 1:1-Block secondary endpoint

Secondary Outcome

- To provide data on the efficacy of NRL001 in patients with faecal incontinence over an 8 week treatment period; time frame: 8 weeks
- To provide preliminary data on the safety and tolerability of NRL001 (5mg, 7.5mg and 10mg) over an 8 week treatment period compared to placebo; time frame: 8 weeks
- To evaluate the population pharmacokinetics and to establish any pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship with adverse events; time frame: 8 weeks
- To evaluate the dose-response relationship in order to identify the appropriate dose(s) of NRL001 for future studies; time frame: 8 weeks
- To evaluate the effect of treatment according to the patient's Faecal Incontinence Quality of Life questionnaire at 4 and 8 weeks; time frame: 8 weeks
- To evaluate the effect of treatment according to the Vaizey score at 4 and 8 weeks; time frame: 8 weeks
