About this study

Official title: A Single-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Intervention Study for the Efficacy and Safety of "BST104" (Lonicera Flos Extract) in Mild to Moderate Functional Dyspepsia Subjects

This study was conducted to prove the efficacy of BST-104 in patients with mild to moderate FD.

Read the detailed description

In this single center, double-blind, randomized clinical trial, patients diagnosed with FD using Rome III criteria were allocated to either test group (300 mg of BST-104, containing 175 mg of Flos Lonicera extracts, twice daily) or placebo group (300 mg placebo, twice daily). Male and female patients > 19 years of age who had mild to moderate FD were eligible. They had baseline endoscopic screening, and patients without active lesions (peptic ulcer disease or gastric erosions) were enrolled. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants.

What is being measured

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

  1. GSRS total score improvement : GSRS score at baseline - GSRS score after 8 weeks of administration

    GSRS (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale) total score improvement after 8 weeks of administration, compared to Baseline

    GSRS is consisted of 15 upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms, and each item is rated on a 7-point Likert scale, 0 = no symptoms, 7 = worst

    Total score scale : 0~105 (15x7), 0 = no symptoms, 105 = worst, decreased score is considered as improvement, increased score is considered as worsening

    stomach pain (0~7) heartburn (0~7) acid reflux (0~7) hunger pain (0~7) nausea (0~7) rumbling (0~7) bloating (0~7) burping (0~7) flatus (0~7) constipation (0~7) diarrhea (0~7) loose stools (0~7) hard stools (0~7) urgency (need to have a bowel movement) (0~7) sensation of not completely emptying the bowels (0~7)

    total score (sum of 15 symptoms scores, 0~105)

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. GSRS improvement rate : (total GSRS score at baseline - total GSRS score after 8 weeks of administration) / GSRS score at baseline

    Total GSRS score improvement rate after 8 weeks of administration, compared to Baseline

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Improvement of 15 individual symptom scores of GSRS : symptom score at baseline - symptom score after 8 weeks

    15 individual symptoms of upper and lower abdominal discomfort after 8 weeks of administration, compared to Baseline

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Changes in serum antioxidant and anti-inflammatory marker level

    Changes in serum antioxidant (8-OHdG, Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total antioxidant, hs-CRP level) after 8 weeks of administration, compared to baseline

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Changes in dyepepsia-related quality of life

    Changes in dyepepsia-related quality of life using NDI (Nepean Dyspepsia Index) questionnaire after 8 weeks of administration, compared to baseline

    NDI-K (Nepean Dyspepsia Index Korean) is consisted of 5 categories and 25 questions of gastrointestinal symptoms, with each question is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, 0 = worst, 5 = no symptoms

    Total score scale : (sum of individual question score) x 100/125

    0~100, 0 = worst condition, 100 = no symptoms, decreased score is considered as worsening, increased score is considered as improvement

    Interference daily activities/work (0~30) Knowledge/control (0~20) Eating/drinking (0~15) Sleep disturbance (0~45) Work/study (0~15)

    Total score (sum of individual question score) x 100/125

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing BST-104 (Lonicera Flos Extract) in people with Functional Dyspepsia and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 13 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 18 Apr 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

GSRS total score improvement : GSRS score at baseline - GSRS score after 8 weeks of administration (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 NCT04008901, 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 18 Apr 2023.
