研究组 & 干预措施
LacTEST
0,45 g of gaxilose po, once, per diagnostic test performed.
干预措施: gaxilose (Drug)
Hydrogen Breath Test
25 to 50 g of lactose po, once, per diagnostic test performed.
干预措施: lactose (Dietary Supplement)
结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogical Scale
时间窗: Through study completion, up to 10 months.
The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of gaxilose test, compared with Hydrogen Breath Test (HBT) using a validated method (VAS results pre and post-test), on the impact on diagnostic thinking for the diagnosis of hypolactasia.
次要结局
- Physician's Questionnaire(Through study completion, up to 10 months.)
- Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by the most recent version of MedDRA thesaurus.(Through study completion, up to 10 months.)
- Intraclass Correlation Coefficient(Through study completion, up to 10 months.)
