About this study

Official title: Effects of Collagen Peptide on Intestinal Permeability Following an Acute Aspirin Challenge in Adults With Moderate GI Symptoms: a Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomised Study.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of 45 days daily administration of three different doses (2.5g, 5g, and 10g) of collagen peptide in healthy adults as compared to a Placebo on intestinal permeability following an acute aspirin challenge. The main question it aims to answer is change from Day 42 to Day 45 following an acute aspirin challenge (NSAID) between three different doses (2.5g, 5g, and 10g) of collagen peptide, respectively as compared to a Placebo on intestinal permeability measured by the urinary lactulose : mannitol ratio (test collected over a period of 5 hours).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AP GUT collagen peptides in people with Intestinal Permability, run by Rousselot BVBA at 1 site in Ireland.

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 7 inclusion and 33 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2026. 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 Ireland. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Andrea Doolan (+353 21 430 7442, adoolan@atlantiatrials.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intestinal permeability (time frame: Day 42 to Day 45). 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 27 May 2026.
