Trial summary

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of prokinetics versus antibiotics versus a combination of antibiotics plus prokinetics in the eradication of Small-Intestinal Bacterial Over-Growth Syndrome (SIBO) in those with and without a positive D-xylose Breath Test.

About this study

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of prokinetics versus antibiotics versus a combination of antibiotics plus prokinetics in the eradication of Small-Intestinal Bacterial Over-Growth Syndrome (SIBO) in those with and without a positive D-xylose Breath Test.

Hypothesis: Patients with SIBO treated with a combination of prokinetics and in particular octreotide and antibiotics will have reduced recurrence rates of SIBO than either therapy given alone.

Read the detailed description

We want to determine whether treatment with prokinetics such as Octreotide, Azithromycin, Erythromycin or Tegaserod alone, versus antibiotics alone, or combination of antibiotics plus prokinetics results in symptomatic improvement in patients with SIBO (defined by a positive D xylose Breath test).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. clinical response to treatments as measured by changes in patients' GI symptoms, weight and lab data

    Overall clinical response to each treatment (antibiotic, pro-kinetic, or both) and any symptoms reported in up to 8 separate clinical visits in the follow-up of these patients during the above mentioned time period will be analyzed and reviewed retrospectively using the patients' charts.

    Measured: A retrospective chart review of up to 8 clinical visits between January 2000 and September 2010 will be conducted on all patients who have had a D-Xylose Breath Test at the Shands Motility Laboratory at the University of Florida during this time period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SIBO) and Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SBBOS), run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

clinical response to treatments as measured by changes in patients' GI symptoms, weight and lab data (time frame: A retrospective chart review of up to 8 clinical visits between January 2000 and September 2010 will be conducted on all patients who have had a D-Xylose Breath Test at the Shands Motility Laboratory at the University of Florida during this time period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01324895, which also lists 8 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Mar 2012.
