Trial summary

This study was designed as a pilot, open-labelled study. We enrolled consecutive IBS-M patients (n=25, 19 females, 46.06 ± 13.11 years) according to Rome IV criteria. Fecal samples were obtained from all patients twice (pre- and post-intervention) and high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing was performed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-labelled Interventional Study With 25 IBS-M Patients in Which Group 1 (n=14) Followed Six Weeks of AI-based Microbiome Diet and Group 2 (n=11) Followed Standard IBS Diet

This study was designed as a pilot, open-labelled study. We enrolled consecutive IBS-M patients (n=25, 19 females, 46.06 ± 13.11 years) according to Rome IV criteria. Fecal samples were obtained from all patients twice (pre- and post-intervention) and high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing was performed. Patients were divided into two groups based on age, gender and microbiome matched.

Six weeks of AI-based microbiome diet (n=14) for group 1 and standard IBS diet (Control group, n=11) for group 2 were followed. AI-based diet was designed based on optimizing a personalized nutritional strategy by an algorithm regarding individual gut microbiome features. An algorithm assessing an IBS index score using microbiome composition attempted to design the optimized diets based on modulating microbiome towards the healthy scores. Baseline and post-intervention IBS-SSS (symptom severity scale) scores and fecal microbiome analyses were compared.

What participants receive

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

  • Personalized microbiome dietDietary supplement

    Also called ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BASED PERSONALIZED DIET

    The personalized nutrition model estimates the optimal micronutrient compositions for a required microbiome modulation. In this study, we computed the microbiome modulation needed for an IBS case, based on the IBS-indices generated by the machine learning models. According to that, the baseline microbiome compositions are perturbed randomly with a small probability p. Perturbed profiles are accepted with a probability proportional to the decrease in the IBS-index as suggested by Metropolis sampling. This Monte-Carlo random walk in the microbiome composition space is expected to meet a low IBS-index microbiome composition nearby the baseline microbiome composition of the patient with a minimal modulation. The personalized nutrition model, then, estimates the optimized nutritional composition needed for this individual, expecting to drive the IBS-index to lower values.

What is being measured

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

  1. IBS-SSS change

    Change in IBS-SSS scores according to ROME IV criteria were assessed.

    Measured: Change is measured between the scores pre-intervention and the scores six weeks after the intervention starts

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Personalized microbiome diet in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome Mixed, run by Gazi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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 24 Feb 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

IBS-SSS change (time frame: Change is measured between the scores pre-intervention and the scores six weeks after the intervention starts). 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 2021.
