Trial summary

Sarcopenia or the loss of skeletal muscle is highly prevalent in many diseases, including short bowel syndrome (SBS). While adaptation is more likely in SBS patients with a colon-in-continuity, the consequences and underlying mechanisms are unclear. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Sarcopenia and Short Bowel Syndrome: the Microbiota-gut-muscle Axis

Sarcopenia or the loss of skeletal muscle is highly prevalent in many diseases, including short bowel syndrome (SBS). While adaptation is more likely in SBS patients with a colon-in-continuity, the consequences and underlying mechanisms are unclear. An overabundance of fecal Lactobacillus was found but not yet linked to adaptation or sarcopenia. The objectives are to study the evolution of sarcopenia and the link with intestinal adaptation in SBS.

Read the detailed description

Patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) will be screened and included in longitudinal or cross-sectional studies if eligible.

The longitudinal study will follow patients with type 1 SBS (enterostomy) before and every 3 months after continuity surgery for 1 year. Cross-sectional studies will follow patients with type 2 or 3 SBS (jejunocolonic or -ileal anastomosis) for 1 year (every 3 months during the first 2 years after continuity surgery or every 6 months after).

Study visits will include clinical examination, nutritional assessment, endoscopy with biopsies and/or intestinal absorption assessment planned as part of routine follow-up. In addition, questionnaires will be completed (GPAQ, SarQoL, EQ-5D -3L, SF36), with collection of stool (for routine and research) and urine samples (for research).

The objective are to study the evolution of sarcopenia and the link with intestinal adaptation in SBS. The results may identify metabolic or microbial biomarkers and predictors of nutritional optimisation in SBS, which is a complex and costly orphan disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evolution of sarcopenia

    Changes in muscle strength (Jamar's dynamometer)

    Measured: at 12 months

  2. Evolution of sarcopenia

    Changes in muscle mass (bioimpedance analysis)

    Measured: at 12 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Impact of sarcopenia

    Changes in questionnaire of quality of life SarQoL

    Measured: at 12 months

  2. Impact of sarcopenia

    Changes in questionnaire of quality of life EQ-5D-3L

    Measured: at 12 months

  3. Impact of sarcopenia

    Changes in questionnaire of quality of life SF36

    Measured: at 12 months

  4. Impact of sarcopenia

    Changes in questionnaire of physical activity (GPAQ)

    Measured: at 12 months

  5. Link with intestinal adaptation

    Number of changes in histological markers of adaptation in relation to sarcopenia. Each of these elements can be considered as a chang : crypt depths, villi length, immune cells.

    Measured: at 12 months

  6. Link with intestinal adaptation

    Changes in biological markers of adaptation in relation to sarcopenia: ApoB48, citrulline, leptin, nutrients

    Measured: at 12 months

  7. Quantification of intestinal adsorption and its link with intestinal adaptation

    Changes in intestinal absorption balance markers of adaptation in relation to sarcopenia: digestive losses in fat, proteins, carbohydrates and total energy. These elements will be quantified by biological assessements.

    Measured: at 12 months

  8. Link with intestinal adaptation

    Changes in bacterial fermentation markers of adaptation in relation to sarcopenia: D-lactate, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)

    Measured: at 12 months

  9. Quantification of urinary metabolite linked with sarcopenia

    Changes in urinary markers of fermentation in relation to sarcopenia (metagenomic sequencing)

    Measured: at 12 months

  10. Quantification of fecal metabolite linked with sarcopenia

    Changes in fecal markers of fermentation in relation to sarcopenia (mass spectrometry)

    Measured: at 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Short Bowel Syndrome, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 4 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 19 Nov 2024. 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 France. 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?

Evolution of sarcopenia (time frame: at 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Nov 2024.
