A Longitudinal Study to Identify IBS Phenotypes Using Fecal Microbiota and Hydrogen Breath Testing

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Longitudinal Study to Identify IBS Phenotypes Using Fecal Microbiota and Hydrogen Breath Testing

Clinical Trial Summary

Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a highly prevalent but poorly understood condition with limited treatment options. Current therapies, including a nonabsorbable antibiotic rifaximin or diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP), show efficacy in 50% or less of patients. In this proposal, we will randomize IBS-D patients to receive either rifaximin or low FODMAP dietary intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a highly prevalent but poorly understood condition with limited treatment options. Recent evidence has established small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and alterations in fecal microbiota as potential etiologies in the pathogenesis of IBS-D. Current therapies, including a nonabsorbable antibiotic rifaximin or diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP), show efficacy in 50% or less of patients [1-4]. It has been postulated that limited responses to therapies may stem from failure to identify distinct subgroups in IBS-D stratified by gut microbial profiles. In this proposal, we will randomize IBS-D patients to receive either rifaximin or low FODMAP dietary intervention. We will then longitudinally follow the results of fecal microbiota-derived data as well as hydrogen breath tests to define SIBO. We will use these methods to test the hypotheses that: (i) distinct IBS-D phenotypes can be generated by defining fecal microbial populations as well as delineating the presence or absence of SIBO; and (ii) longitudinal analyses using microbe-derived metrics and SIBO status may relate to response to treatment with rifaximin or low FODMAP dietary intervention. ;
