Change in Gastric Emptying Rate From Baseline as Determined by the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Gastric Emptying Rate Primary · ~28 days

Change from baseline in gastric emptying rate was determined by the AUC by Gastric Emptying Breath Test (GEBT) at Day 28 after administration of PCS12852 or placebo.
