Ganglioside & IBD

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Context. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and debilitating disorder. Novel treatment strategies aimed to resolve intestinal inflammation and induce disease remission are necessary. Dietary gangliosides are safe for consumption, bioavailable, and have shown clinical benefit in patients with inflammatory intestinal disease. Objectives. The primary objective is this study is to determine the efficacy of dietary ganglioside in improving disease activity indices in pediatric patients with IBD. Secondary objectives include demonstrating the effectiveness of dietary ganglioside for improving quality of life, improving intestinal integrity, and reducing inflammation. Study Design. Intervention: controlled trial (pilot). Participants. Inclusion criteria: aged 9-21 years, diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) or ileal or colonic Crohn Disease (CD), active disease. Exclusion criteria: pregnancy, inadequate liver or renal function, active infectious disease, previous bowel resection, disease remission, drug/alcohol abuse, other serious medical conditions, indeterminate colitis. Study Intervention. Patients with IBD (n=48) will be allocated to consume ganglioside treatment or placebo daily for 10 weeks. Treatment group will consume five grams of buttermilk powder daily or anhydrous milk fat. Outcome Measures. The primary outcome is the disease activity index: pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (pCDAI) or pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (pUCAI). Secondary outcomes include: quality of life (IMPACT-III questionnaire), intestinal permeability (lactulose/mannitol urinary assay), C-reactive protein (CRP; blood exam), calprotectin (fecal exam). Expected Outcomes. Relative to the placebo group, the treatment group will have improved disease activity indices, quality of life, and intestinal integrity over the 10-week study period. The treatment group will also show reduction in inflammation and calprotectin relative to the placebo group.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
