About this study

To determine the efficacy of a low FODMAP diet in IBS patients and whether gut microbiota community is associated with its efficacy.

Read the detailed description

We seek to determine whether a low FODMAPs diet decreases symptoms in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)patients and to identify potential microbial factors related to diet efficacy. Pain symptoms, stooling characteristics, breath hydrogen, stool microbiome will be collected and/or documented in IBS patients at baseline and during one week of an low FODMAPs intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing low FODMAPs in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, run by Shandong University at 1 site in China.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2015. 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 China. 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yanqing Li, MD.PhD (86-531-82169236 ext. 86-531-8216923, liyanqing@sdu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

changes of symptom scores (time frame: 5 months). 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 1 Oct 2015.
