Trial summary

There is a constant exchange between the gut epithelium and lumen, including microbial interplay. The aim of this study was to investigate dietary test products on inflammatory proliferation markers in the gut, and thereby if the products had positive effects in the gut as well as in other parts of the body.

About this study

There is a constant exchange between the gut epithelium and lumen, including microbial interplay. The aim of this study was to investigate dietary test products on inflammatory proliferation markers in the gut, and thereby if the products had positive effects in the gut as well as in other parts of the body.

The hypothesis was that the test products would reduce the inflammatory and proliferation activity of the gut epithelium by fermentation of normal food products and by converting dietary phenolic compounds into anti-inflammatory substances.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reactivity of rectal mucosa

    to study the reactivity of rectal mucosa after a standardized inflammatory insult before and after treatment with probiotics

    Measured: after 2 weeks intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. influence on immune system

    to study the influence on systemic leukocytes and regulatory T cells

    Measured: after 2 weeks intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in people with Inflammation, run by Region Skane.

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 3 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 16 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Reactivity of rectal mucosa (time frame: after 2 weeks intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01534572, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Feb 2012.
