Clinical Trial Summary

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an entity of complex etiology where environmental, genetic and intestinal microflora-related factors trigger and perpetuate a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. It is suspected that an alteration in primary intestinal microbial colonization (dysbiosis) could trigger, or at least contribute to, said oversized immune response. The hypothesis is that the administration of a series of fibers, could improve the bacterial diversity and repair the dysbiosis that has been seen in patients affected by ulcerative colitis, improving the clinical evolution of it. The primary objective of the present study is to know the impact on the microbiota of patients with UC in remission derived from the administration of dietary fibers. The RETOS study is a pilot project in which a population of patients with UC is tested for the effect on the composition of the microbiota that would have the administration of various combinations of fibers, in addition to the tolerability and acceptance by the patient. The clinical applicability derived from this intervention would be to improve the diversity of intestinal flora of patients with ulcerative colitis.


Clinical Trial Description

The Phase 1 study is a pilot project in which a population of patients with UC is tested for the effect on the composition of the microbiota that would have the administration of various combinations of fibers, in addition to the tolerability and acceptance by the patient. The study will include two groups of 20 patients each. One of the groups will receive 6 grams of fiber a day in a single shot with the main meal (group 1) and the other group will receive 12 grams of fiber a day divided into two meals with the main meals (group 2). Two different combinations of fibers (formula A and B) will be tested with the following administration pattern for both groups.

Description of the administration pattern Week 1: Formula A Week 2: Formula A Week 3: Formula B Week 4: Formula B

A second sequential cycle similar to the first one (4 weeks with the same administration pattern) will be repeated in order to confirm the reproducibility of the findings.

The two formulas contain fibers known and commonly used in human nutrition, which were previously tested in in vitro models with human faeces and their ability to promote the growth of butyrate-producing bacterial species that are deficient in patients with colitis was proven ulcerative (Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Roseburia hominis). The fibers are presented in aluminum envelopes to dissolve in a glass of water, juice, infusion or cold cream (max 37 ° C).

In addition, formulas A and B for group 1 (a single intake per day) include the mixture of probiotics i3.1 in quantity per envelope of 3e + 9 colony-forming units, which contains: Pediococcus acidilactici CECT 7483, Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 7484 and Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 7485 in a 1: 1: 1 ratio. Formulas A and B for group 2 (two intakes per day) include the probiotic i3.1 in quantity per envelope of 1.5e + 09 colony-forming units.

In the two groups, the first week the patients will receive half of the dose with the aim of facilitating the adaptation in those people who usually do not consume fiber. The usual diet, tolerability and patient satisfaction will be controlled through biweekly predefined questionnaires. ;
