About this study

Official title: Department of Nutrition, China Medical University

As the investigators know, only few researches focus on the effect of probiotics on depression in hemodialysis patients. Besides, probiotics also have benefit effect on dyslipidemia and hypertension in general population. Both of them are the risk factors of cardiovascular disease which is the major cause of death in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, this study looks for the effect of probiotics on depression syndrome and risk factors of cardiovascular disease in hemodialysis patients. This is a randomized controlled trial. All patients will be assigned at random to intervention group or control group. This study plans to recruit 70 hemodialysis patients and expects at least 30 patients in each group at the end of study period. The investigators provide probiotics (C. butyricum MIYAIRI 588) to intervention group and provide nothing to the control group.

All patients need to maintain the lifestyle during study period. Genomic analysis of gut microbiota on patients' fecal samples will be used to evaluation their compliance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing MIYAIRI 588 in people with Depression Mild and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by China Medical University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 7 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 22 Sep 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 Taiwan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 change of depression score (time frame: Change from Baseline depression score at 3 months). 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 22 Sep 2023.
