Filter by:This open-label randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the glutamine plus Lactobacillus reuteri supplementation effect in a standard-of-care diet in EGFR mutant patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) under tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy. The main question it aims to answer is ¿What is the effect of glutamine plus L. reuteri added to an astringent diet in preventing diarrhea generated by TKI therapy? Patients will receive an astringent diet supplemented with 10 grams of glutamine and L. reuteri (100 million CFU). Researchers will compare the Glutamine plus L. reuteri diet with a standard astringent diet to see if TKI therapy diarrhea is prevented.
This study evaluates the effect of a multistrain probiotic on gastrointestinal (GI) complaints and diarrhoea in subjects receiving short-term antibiotic (AB) treatment
This study aims to assess elemental impurities level after dministration of dioctahedral smectite in subjects with functional diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome with predominant diarrhea. Male or female subjects aged between 19 and 60 years will participate in the study. The study design is an opne-label, randomized, multiple dose paraller study. The patients were randomly assigned to DWJ1230 or DWB2001. It is intended that a total of 60 subjects will be enrolled to ensure that at least 24 subjects will complete the study.
Diarrhea remains a leading killer of children in need of better treatments.
Persistent diarrhea is a common health problem worldwide, particularly in low-income countries. Approximately 3% to 20% of acute diarrhea episodes in children under 5 years of age become persistent diarrhea. Persistent diarrhea causes malnutrition, weight loss, and dehydration, as well as increasing treatment costs and the risk of mortality. One of the main causes of persistent diarrhea is the overgrowth and spread of bacteria, as well as viral infections that can disrupt the balance of microorganisms in the gut. Antibiotics are effective in treating bacterial infections that cause persistent diarrhea in children, but not against viral or parasitic infections. Overuse of antibiotics can lead to the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which poses a significant public health concern. Probiotics play a vital role in maintaining a healthy balance. Bacillus probiotic strains have an advantage over Lactobacillus probiotics as they can form spores that resist environmental stressors like heat, acid, and bile. This makes them more likely to survive the harsh conditions of the digestive tract and provide health benefits by reaching the intestines intact. Here, the investigators propose high-dose Bacillus spore probiotic supplementation as a potential solution for treating patients with persistent diarrhea. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of two types of Bacillus probiotics which conclude LiveSpo CLAUSY (2 billion B. clausii) and LiveSpo DIA 30 (5 billion B. subtilis, B. clausii and B. coagulans) in supporting the treatment of children with persistent diarrhea. Study Population: sample size is 150 patients and 30 healthy children. The study is carried out at Vietnam National Children's Hospital. Description of Study Intervention: Totally 150 eligible patients are divided randomly into 3 groups (n = 50/group each): Patients in the Control group received the routine treatment and 2-3 times/day RO water while the patients in the probiotics group received 2-3 times/day LiveSpo DIA 30 or LiveSpo CLAUSY in addition to the same standard of care treatment. The standard treatment regimen is 5-9 days but can be extended further depending on the severity of the patient. Healthy children are grouped into the "Healthy" group solely for the purpose of comparing the microbiota between healthy children with those patients before and after treatment. Therefore, the Healthy group does not receive any intervention. Study duration: 18 months
To asses prevalence of pathological findings in patients with chronic diarrhea and normal colonoscopy
The purpose of this study is to learn the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) using stool from a donor with low proteolytic activity and containing the bacteria Alistipes putredinis in patients with post-infection irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS) and high proteolytic activity. Proteolytic activity is the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or amino acids.
Small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) that target HER2 are routinely used to treat patients with HER2 (+) breast cancer. The main adverse reactions included diarrhea, nausea, and rash, among which diarrhea had the highest incidence. It can reduce the quality of life and medication compliance of patients, and further affect the efficacy of TKI anti-tumor therapy. Therefore, the investigators conducted this study to establish a risk assessment model before TKI treatment, in order to screen out the high-risk population and influencing factors of TKI-associated diarrhea, and planned to carry out corresponding animal experiments to verify the relationship between various mechanisms and the main mechanism in TKI-associated diarrhea and to explore the corresponding treatment methods.
Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) colitis is a common hospital-acquired disease, which increases hospitalization length and the mortality rate. Moreover, refractory or recurrent C. difficile colitis is an emerging disease. The tapering course of oral vancomycin or oral fidaxomicin is current standard treatment for refractory or recurrent C. difficile colitis. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an alternative one. However, the tapering course of oral vancomycin needs a 6- to 12-week duration, fidaxomicin is expensive, and FMT is not available in every hospital; therefore, it is needed to develop a new treatment. Evidence has shown that the disturbance with reduced diversity of intestinal microbiota may lead to refractory C. difficile colitis. Besides fecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics administration can also correct the disturbed intestinal microbiota. However, inconsistent efficacy of probiotic administration was reported, which may be attributed to the interference by the gastric acid. Precise delivery of probiotics into the colon by colonoscopy can avoid the destruction by gastric acid, with which a better treatment efficacy is expected. The best regimen for C. difficile colitis should be the one which succeeds on the first attempt. Therefore, this study is aimed toward validating the efficacy and safety of the colonoscopic probiotics-spray. Patients diagnosed with C. colitis will be enrolled. All patients will accept the standard treatment of oral vancomycin for 14 days. As an adjuvant probiotic administration at the same time, enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to the probiotics-spray (PS) group and the probiotics-oral (PO) group, respectively. The patients in the PS group will receive colonoscopic spray of probiotics once, while the patients in the PO group will receive the same dosage of oral probiotics divided into 5 days. This study will compare the difference in fecal microbiota changes between the colonoscopic probiotics-spray group and the probiotics-oral group. Moreover, this study will evaluate the efficacy and safety between the colonoscopic probiotics-spray and probiotics-oral in patients with C. difficile colitis.
Guaranteeing access to safe drinking water is still a challenge in rural households in developing countries, and unsafe water sources are responsible for millions of deaths each year around the world. Coupons for free dilute chlorine solution are a cost-effective and effective way of ameliorating child health and reducing diarrhea incidence. It is still an empirical challenge, however, to see if the positive health effects will be maintained when the program is implemented at scale. In this study, investigators conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) at scale to study the impacts of a chlorine coupon program implemented at health clinics on child health, including self-reported diarrhea, fever, and cough incidence in the previous two weeks. Investigators further investigate the pathway of the impact, such as self-reported and objectively measured use of chlorine and frequency of visits to health clinics.
