About this study

Fasting blood specimens will be taken from the patients with IBS that have inclusion criteria. First, the objectives and method of study will be explained to the patients and informed consent form will be taken from them. They will be divided into 4 groups by an adjusted randomized blocking and the clinical outcomes, quality of life, emotional stress questionnaires will be completed before and after intervention. During 6 weeks, they will receive 2 capsules of soy isoflavones per day, 50000IU vitamin D biweekly in addition to the other placebo form, both of them and placebo of both. At the end, body mass index ( BMI), serum TNF-Alpha, TAC, gene expression of GATA3, ROR gamma, FOXP3 in lymphocytes and gut permeability will be measured. The quantity of polymorphisms of vitamin D and estrogen receptors will be determined.

Being tested
Soy isoflavones, cholecalciferol, Placebo of soy isoflavones, placebo of cholecalciferol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Soy isoflavones and cholecalciferol in people with Irritable Bowel Disease, run by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 9 inclusion and 6 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 18 Nov 2014. 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 Iran. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Change from baseline in Clinical Outcomes (pain, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation ) at 6 weeks (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 NCT02026518, which also lists 3 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 18 Nov 2014.
