About this study
Official title: The Treatment Effect of Bio-Three on Children With Enteritis Due to Salmonella or Rotavirus or Any Unknown Reason
Diarrhea due to acute enteritis is a common symptom in the children. Lots of patients are infected by rotavirus or salmonella.
Base on the past researches, there is benefit effect of probiotics on patients with diarrhea or acute enteritis. In this clinical study, bio-Three, a probiotic which contains three independent probiotics, will be used in patients with acute diarrhea.
This is a single site, controlled clinical research. About 80 patients will be enrolled into this study to evaluate the benefit effect of bio-Three among patients with acute enteritis due to rotavirus or salmonella or other unknown reason. Patients will be diagnosed and screened by inclusion and exclusion criteria and only eligible patients will be enrolled into this study.
Read the detailed description
Intervention: Subjects were randomly assigned to receive control treatment (intravenous fluid, oral rice and half strength milk formula) or add-on treatment of the probiotics (Bio-three®) to the control treatment.
Main outcome measures: Quantitative Vesikari scales and qualitative severe diarrhea (Vesikari scale≥11) Exclusion criteria included immunodeficiency, severe abdominal distension with risk of bowel perforation, severe infection or sepsis, history of gastrointestinal tract surgery, and probiotics use in the preceding 1 week.

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?
Quantitative Vesikari scales and qualitative severe diarrhea (time frame: 7 days). 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.
