About this study

Official title: Effects of Probiotics Administration on Human Metabolic Phenotype

Background: The establishment of the beneficial interactions between the host and its microbiota is essential for the development and correct functioning of the organism, since microflora alterations can lead to many chronic degenerative diseases. In this context, probiotics are used to improve balanced microbial communities and therefore exert substantial health-promoting effects to the host.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to monitor the molecular outcomes, obtained by gut microflora modulation through probiotic treatment, on human urine and serum metabolic profiles, with a 1H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance -based metabolomic approach.

Read the detailed description

Design: In a first phase twenty-two healthy subjects are enrolled in the study and administered with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subs. delbrueckii and/or a mix of 5 biotypes of Bifidobacterium longum for 8 weeks. In the second phase subjects are enrolled in the study and administered with Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus fermentum and Bifidobacterium longum at two different concentration. During the course of the study all the probiotic types were administered both singularly and in combination. From each subject urine and serum samples are collected before and during the supplementation and are analysed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and statistical analyses.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • probioticsDietary supplement

    In the first phase: 10 subjects have added in the diet a daily dose of 1 billion of freeze-dried LDD01 probiotics (A arm), 12 individuals are supplemented with a daily dose of 1 billion of the DLBL mix (B arm). In the second phase: 10 individuals are supplemented with a daily low dose of probiotics blend (C arm) and 10 individuals are supplemented with a daily high dose of probiotics blend (D arm).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing probiotics in people with Metabolomic Profile, run by Probiotical S.p.A. at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 25 Jan 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 Italy. 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?

metabolomic profile (time frame: 20 days). 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 25 Jan 2023.
