Microbiota Profiling in IBS — IBSQUtrition  

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Microbiota and Metabolite Profiles Linked to Severity in Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates differences in microbiota profiles and metabolite levels between mild and severe IBS patients, compared to matched healthy controls. Two fecal samples, with one month in between, will be analyzed. Secondary parameters such as dietary intake, quality of life and stool pattern will be assessed.

Clinical Trial Description

Rationale: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a gastro-intestinal disorder that strongly affects Quality of Life and impairs daily functioning. However, the aetiology and pathophysiology has been poorly understood. Studies suggest that intestinal microbiota in IBS is altered, however a general consensus remains elusive. This may be due to the large individual variation in microbiota and IBS symptoms, and the cross-sectional designs. Moreover, other factors like diet, wellbeing and metabolite profiles are often not taken into account. New evidence is suggesting that IBS severity may be an important factor in microbiota composition.

Objective: To determine faecal microbiota composition and metabolite production (such as acetate, propionate and butyrate), and investigate differences between healthy controls and mild or severe patients IBS. Moreover, to investigate whether (clinical) parameters such as symptom severity fluctuated, and if these fluctuations are associated with an alteration in faecal microbiota composition and metabolite production, one month after baseline, compared to healthy controls.

Study design: This study is a repeated cross-sectional study, with two data collection points (baseline, and after one month).

Study population: For this study, 100 IBS patients and 30 healthy controls will be recruited. After the first data collection point (T1), the 30 most mild and 30 most severe IBS patients will be included for data collection at T2 (after one month). All participants will be aged between 18 and 65 years.

Intervention (if applicable): Not applicable. Main study parameters/endpoints: primary endpoint of this study is microbiota composition and metabolite profiles, and the difference between groups and possible change after one month. These are assessed two faecal samples, which are analysed by 16S rRNA gene-based microbiota profiling. Secondary parameters are dietary intake, Quality of Life, depression and anxiety scores, and stool consistency and frequency, which are assessed by validated questionnaires. ;
