About this study

Official title: A New Dimension in Modeling Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) to Elucidate Novel Diagnostic Biomarkers and Microbiome Signatures

Microbiota from fecal samples from IBS-D patients, in combination with vitamin D supplementation added to our 3-D immunocompetent intestinal models will establish a high fidelity disease model to achieve our long-term goal to understand the relationship between gut microbiome, vitamin D levels, host gene expression and IBS-D symptoms that could ultimately be used as a testing platform for treatment and prevention.

Read the detailed description

The pathophysiology of IBS is not well understood. Preliminary studies support IBS-D patients with varied microbiome fingerprints, vitamin D levels, and blood serotonin levels compared to non-IBS patients. The investigators have novel 3-D immunocompetent intestinal models to establish a new model of high fidelity disease to examine the relationship of IBS-D patients gut microbiome, with supplemental vitamin D levels, and the relationship of blood serotonin and vitamin D levels. IBS-D patients and healthy controls will be asked to provide a fecal sample, a biopsy sample of colonic tissue obtained during a clinically appropriate flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, and a blood sample. There will be 1-2 office visits. One visit will last 30 minutes, the second visit no longer than 3 hours. This study is funded by a combined MAYO-Arizona State University seed grant. The samples will be analyzed at ASU. Our long-term goal is to understand the relationship between gut microbiome, vitamin D levels, host gene expression, serotonin levels, and IBS-D symptoms that could ultimately be used as a testing platform for treatment and prevention of this highly prevalent disorder.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serotonin level

    2 blood vials will be drawn during the flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy procedure, and serotonin levels will be drawn from one of these blood samples.

    Measured: Study Day 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing endoscopy for tissue biopsy, Blood Sample and Stool Sample in people with Diarrhoea Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome and IBS, 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 7 Jul 2017. 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?

Serotonin level (time frame: Study Day 2). 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 7 Jul 2017.
