Clinical Trial Summary

To investigate the effectiveness of two doses of the probiotic strain Bif-038 on markers of low-grade inflammation in a elderly population


Clinical Trial Description

The study is a randomized, double-blind, 3-arm, placebo-controlled pilot study in an elderly population (60-85 years) with low-grade inflammation (hs-CRP 2-10 mg/L) comparing two doses daily intake of Bif-038 at 1 and 10 billion CFU to placebo for 12 weeks. The subjects will receive either one of the two test products or the placebo product daily for a period of 12 weeks. During the entire study period, five visits are scheduled. The subjects will participate in two screening visits; a baseline visit, a visit after 6 weeks of intervention and an end-of-study visit after 12 weeks of intervention. Visit 1 and 2 are screening- and recruitment visits with at least two weeks apart. Only participants with a hs-CRP within 2.0-10.0 mg/L will be invited for the second screening visit. Participants with repeated hs-CRP levels within 2.0-10.0 mg/L will be invited for baseline visit 3, to be included and randomized in the study. At the screening visits the eligibility will be checked after the participants have given their written informed consent. Blood samples and stool samples will be collected during the study and subjects will be asked to complete questionnaires and a dietary diary. No sample size calculations were performed due to the exploratory nature of a pilot study design. Planned number to include is 20 subjects per study arm, thus 60 subjects in total. ;
