About this study

Official title: To Demonstrate That a Novel Powder Formulation of Lactobacillus Reuteri DSM 17938 is Safe in Adults, a Randomized, Placebo Controlled Double-blind Study

Lactobacilli are commensal bacteria common to the gut of all mammals studied and traditionally associated with foods are considered safe.The established safe use on a diversity of foods and supplement products worldwide supports this conclusion. Lactobacillus reuteri is one species of Lactobacillus that naturally inhabits the gastrointestinal tract of humans and is one of the few autochthonous (indigenous) Lactobacillus species in infants as well as adults.

Although the tolerability of DSM 17938 in a tablet formulation has earlier been established, it is desirable to repeat the assessment in this novel formulation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety measured by blood chemistry parameters

    To assess the safety of a novel formulation containing Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 by measuring blood chemistry parameters before and after 28 days of supplementation.

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Tolerability measured by blood chemistry parameters

    To assess tolerability of a novel formulation containing Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 by measuring blood chemistry parameters before and after 28 days of supplementation.

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Lactobacillus Reuteri DSM 17938 in people with Safety, run by Good Food Practice, Sweden at 1 site in Sweden.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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 4 Jul 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 Sweden. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Safety measured by blood chemistry parameters (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 4 Jul 2012.
