About this study

Official title: Prevention of Pouchitis With Short-Chain Fructooligosaccharide Therapy, A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

The main objective is to compare prebiotic therapy with placebo for the prevention of pouchitis after closure of diverting ileostomy in patients with an ileal pouch anal anastomosis. This study will also characterize the effects of prebiotics on the fecal microbiota and fecal microbial metabolites and correlate these effects with the primary outcome of development of pouchitis.

Conditions
Pouchitis
Being tested
Short-Chain Fructooligosaccharide, Maltodextrin

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change in Pouchitis Disease Activity Index (PDAI) at One Year

    In the PDAI, an overall score is calculated from three separate six-point scales comprising of clinical symptoms, endoscopic findings and histological changes. The PDAI incorporates histological features of acute inflammation, and establishes a cut-off of seven for differentiation between 'pouchitis (≥7 points) and 'no pouchitis' (<7 points).

    Measured: baseline, 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Short-Chain Fructooligosaccharide and Maltodextrin in people with Pouchitis, 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 5 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 24 Feb 2020. 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. 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 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.

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?

Mean Change in Pouchitis Disease Activity Index (PDAI) at One Year (time frame: baseline, 1 year). 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 24 Feb 2020.
