About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Hemp Hull WFI (BB01) to Reduce Intestinal Permeability in IBS-Diarrhea With Evidence of Bile Acid Diarrhea

The purpose of this study is the effect of a study bar, which contains 15 grams of insoluble dietary fiber total sourced from Hemp hulls, on intestinal permeability in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-bile acid diarrhea individuals.

Read the detailed description

Patients with irritable bowel syndrome-bile acid diarrhea (IBS-BAD) have no evidence of significant histologically-evident inflammation or ulceration. The condition is often unrecognized in comparison with natural variations in bowel function in the general population. Hemp seeds are a complete source of protein, providing all nine essential amino acids, as well as polyunsaturated fats, especially omega-3 fatty acid, fiber, minerals and vitamins. Hemp hulls, the outer shell of the seeds, are typically rich in dietary fiber and phenolics and showed to have a beneficial effect on gut barrier function in vitro.

To demonstrate reduced intestinal permeability after 3 weeks of BB01 (20g of BB01, which reflects 15g of insoluble dietary fiber) consumption in a group of 10 patients with IBS-diarrhea with evidence of bile acid diarrhea, a group that has been previously documented to have increased GI permeability.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BB01 in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-bile Acid Diarrhea, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 10 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 5 Jun 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 United States. 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?

Change in urinary excretion of 13^C-mannitol (time frame: Baseline, 3 weeks). 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 5 Jun 2024.
