About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Study Evaluating the Impact of Serum-Derived Bovine Immunoglobulin /Protein Isolate (SBI) 5.0 g Twice Daily on Nutritional Status in Subjects With Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D)

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of oral nutritional therapy Serum-Derived Bovine Immunoglobulin (SBI) on nutritional status, epithelial barrier function, and mucosal expression of pivotal genes including tight junction, secretory mechanisms, tissue repair proteins and chemokines in subjects with IBS-D.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label study evaluating the impact of SBI 5.0 g twice daily on

  1. nutritional status (plasma amino acid profile and kynurenine to tryptophan ratio),
  2. intestinal permeability (in vivo) and
  3. mucosal expression of pivotal genes including tight junction, secretory mechanisms, tissue repair proteins and chemokines status in patients with IBS-D.

Plasma, duodenal and stool samples will be collected. Fifteen eligible subjects will be enrolled to receive SBI for 8 weeks (SBI 5.0g BID for 8 weeks).

Intestinal permeability will be measured in vivo by two sugar urine excretion(s) after oral ingestion.

Biopsies from the distal second or third portion of the duodenum will be obtained endoscopically, to measure mRNA expression of tight junction proteins and markers of immune function,

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in epithelial barrier function, and mucosal expression of barrier-associated genes

    The primary endpoints for the study are change from baseline in mucosal expression of tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin, claudin)

    Measured: 10 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in body measurements, amino acid metabolism, abdominal pain, and baseline stool frequency and consistency.

    The secondary endpoints for the study is change from baseline in amino acid metabolism

    Measured: 10 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin protein isolate (SBI) in people with Diarrhea-predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome, run by Mayo Clinic 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 Oct 2017. 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?

Change in epithelial barrier function, and mucosal expression of barrier-associated genes (time frame: 10 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 NCT02163213, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Oct 2017.
