Brief Summary

This study is a Randomized, Double Blind, Parallel Group, Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Bacillus subtilisHU58 + Bacillus coagulans SC208 Capsules in subjects with diarrhoea predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS-D).

The randomization visit will be conducted on Day 1 after 7 days of the screening period  (Visit 1) wherein the subject will be randomized after assessing the diary scores for eligibility.



Eligible subjects will be randomized in two arms in ratio 1:1.The follow up visits will be conducted on Visit 2 (Day 8±1) Visit 3 (Day 15±1) Visit 4 (Day 22±1) and end of study visit will be conducted at Visit 5 (Day 29±1). A Post Treatment Safety Follow up visit will be conducted at Visit 6 (Day 36±2). The duration of individual participation will be approximately 43 days.

The primary outcome evaluates Percentage of participants defined as responders for abdominal pain and stool consistency from baseline to end of study.



The secondary outcome evaluates Percentage of subjects who were responders for abdominal pain, Percentage of subjects who were responders for Stool Consistency Scores, Change in Stool Change in Perceived Stress Scale (PSS),Percentage of IBS Global Assessment of Improvement Scale (IBS-GAI) responders, Change in stool sample measurement Short-chain fatty acids SCFAs levels and Changes in diversity of gut microbiota observed through DNA extraction and 16S rRNA gene sequencing from baseline to the end of study.
