Trial summary

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disease. Evidence suggests that the concentration of serum VD is decreased in IBS patients, particularly in IBS-D. After giving a supplementation of VD, some symptoms of these patients were relieved to a certain degree. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Vitamin D on Gut Microbiota, Intestinal Barrier in Patients With Diarrhea-predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disease. Evidence suggests that the concentration of serum VD is decreased in IBS patients, particularly in IBS-D. After giving a supplementation of VD, some symptoms of these patients were relieved to a certain degree. However, the specific mechanism still remains unclear.

Read the detailed description

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disease, which is due to the gut microbiota disturbances, intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction, and brain-gut axis dysfunction. Vitamin D (VD), a fat-soluble vitamin, has been found to be associated with gut microbiota, intestinal mucosal barrier and NLRP3 in inflammatory bowel disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and other diseases. The concentration of serum VD is decreased in IBS patients, particularly in IBS-D. And the symptoms of IBS patients seems to be connected with the level of serum VD. After giving a supplementation of VD, some symptoms of these patients were relieved to a certain degree. However, the specific mechanism still remains unclear.We designed a study to figure out the effects of serum VD on gut microbiota, intestinal mucosal barrier and in patients with IBS-D.

Study groups in NCT05593367
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
VD-, VD deficiency groupThe IBS-D patients whose serum 25(OH)D level was<20ng/ml
VD+, VD normal groupThe IBS-D patients whose serum 25(OH)D level was ≥20ng/ml

What is being measured

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

  1. gut microbiota

    Detect the fecal microbiome by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

    Measured: 1 week before colonoscopy

  2. intestinal barrier

    Detect the expressions of Z0-1, occludin in intestinal mucosa

    Measured: During the colonoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diarrhea-predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome, run by Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong 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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2022. 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.

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 Fei Dai (13772151298, daifei68@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

gut microbiota (time frame: 1 week before colonoscopy). 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 25 Oct 2022.
