Filter by:This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of eluxadoline 100 milligrams (mg) twice a day (BID) versus placebo for the treatment of patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D) who report that the use of loperamide in the prior 12 months failed to provide control of their IBS-D symptoms.
Cluster randomised controlled trial to evaluate what the effect is of evidence-based order sets aimed at five indications on the appropriateness of laboratory test ordering in primary care.
There is a relative high prevalence of constipation and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) in the elderly residents of nursing homes, mainly due to high antibiotic and medication usage. Constipation and diarrhoea causes a substantial burden on lives of the frail elderly and significantly reduces the quality of life (QoL). In addition, these circumstances lead to a higher workload for healthcare workers and treatment of constipation and diarrhoea increase costs in healthcare. There are indications that the gastrointestinal microbiome is altered in conditions, such as constipation and AAD. Research indicates that probiotics show potential in the treatment of constipation, AAD and infectious diarrhoea. Probiotics can restore the aberrant gastrointestinal microbiome and thereby possibly treat/prevent constipation and diarrhoea in the frail elderly population. To illustrate, a previous pilot study of probiotic administration in elderly residents of a nursing home demonstrated a reduced prevalence of constipation and diarrhoea stool types and a higher prevalence of ideal stool types during the intervention compared to the baseline period. These promising results demand for a confirmatory study in this population.
This study intends to provide information on the safety and tolerability of repeated oral doses of ACH04. A phase I, single-center, first in human, open-label, dose escalation study of ACH04 to assess the safety and tolerability in healthy adults subjects is selected to best address the study goals.
This randomized clinical trial studies how well probiotic yogurt supplement works in reducing diarrhea in patients with kidney cancer that has spread from the primary site to other places in the body (metastatic) and that are being treated with vascular endothelial growth factor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. Studying samples of blood and stool from patients who eat probiotic yogurt and those who avoid probiotic yogurt may help doctors plan better treatment.
This is a research study of an experimental (investigational) live attenuated Shigella sonnei vaccine (WRSS1) to find a dose of the vaccine that is safe, tolerable, and develops an immune response. Shigella causes bloody and watery diarrhea, and infants and children living in developing countries experience the greatest consequences of this disease.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of a large-scale urban water supply improvement intervention on cholera and other diarrhoeal diseases. The study uses a step wedge cluster randomised controlled trial (SWcRCT) to measure the effect of the intervention on cholera centre admission rates and confirmed cholera cases. A nested cohort study will examine changes in water-related practices following the intervention.
This study compared safety and efficacy of a generic rifaximin tablet to the reference listed drug in the treatment of travelers' diarrhea. Additionally both the generic and reference formulations were tested for superiority against a placebo tablet. It was planned that 450 patients would be enrolled, but only 28 patients were randomized. Of these, 1 patient discontinued due to failure to meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The remaining 27 patients received study drug and 25 patients completed the study. The study was terminated due to slow enrolment. The final analysis included only safety analysis in the Safety population, due to the low number of randomized patients. No efficacy analysis was performed.
Chemotherapy induced diarrhea is seen in up to 40-80% of patients receiving this treatment for HER2 positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This diarrhea can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and ability to tolerate chemo/anti-HER2 therapy. This study will look at the efficacy of the drug crofelemer in preventing diarrhea in breast cancer patients.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of a four-week consumption of a fresh fermented dairy drink containing probiotic strains on Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea and Gastro-Intestinal disorders in adult subjects treated for Helicobacter pylori eradication.
