About this study

Official title: Discovering the Mechanisms of Action for the In-vivo Protection of Aspirin-induced Enteropathy by Bifidobacterium Breve Bif195 in Man - a Randomised, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled, Cross-over Trial in Healthy Volunteers

The trial will investigate effects of daily intake of the bacterial strain Bif195 or placebo when co-administered to once-daily oral intake of 300 mg of Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA).

The trial includes a run-in period of two weeks duration followed by a 4-week intervention period in which Bif195/placebo and ASA are co-administered. This period is followed by a 6-week wash-out period before a new 4-week period is performed with a cross-over Bif195/placebo intervention as well as ASA co-administration. Bif195 and placebo interventions are performed double-blinded in randomised order in a cross-over fashion for each subject.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will participate in the trial for a total duration of approximately 17 weeks including the run-in phase. Besides the screening visit, the trial will consist of 4 visits.

After having given their written informed consent, subjects will complete the screening procedures to evaluate their eligibility for participation in the trial and complete a run-in period of two weeks duration to washout possible pre-trial probiotics and/or use of medication. On the morning of day 4 after baseline assessments at Visit 2, all subjects will start daily intake of 300 mg ASA in combination with Bif195 or placebo in a ratio of 1:1 according to the randomisation performed at Visit 2.

At visit 2 - 5, all subjects will be biopsied from the upper small intestine and the ventricle during a gastroscopy procedure. At each of these 4 visits, 6 biopsies will be taken from pre-specified locations in the duodenum and 2 biopsies will be taken from the ventricle (approximately 5 mg each). Luminal fluids will also be collected during the gastroscopy (approximately 2 ml per visit). One venous blood sample (of 20 ml per visit) will also be collected at each of these visits.

The analysis on biopsies and luminal fluid samples will include a combination of transcriptomic, microbiome, proteomics and metabolomics analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bif195 in people with Reduction of Small Intestinal Ulceration Risk, run by Chr Hansen at 1 site in Denmark.

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 1 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 Apr 2023. 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 Denmark. 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.

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?

The effects of daily intake of Bif195 versus placebo (time frame: before vs after 4 week intervention). 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 NCT04448847, 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 24 Apr 2023.
