研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of the study is evaluate the safety and efficacy of L-glutamine as a treatment for patients with diverticulosis.
详细描述
After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo a 4 weeks screening period to determine eligibility for study entry. At Week 0, patients who meet eligibility requirements will be given L-glutamine (15 grams, twice daily)

入选标准
- •≥50 years of age.
- •Uncomplicated diverticulosis confirmed by colonoscopy.
- •Colonoscopy indicates ≥5 colonic diverticula (pouches) in the descending/sigmoid colon and < approximately10 colonic diverticula (pouches) per segment (e.g. proximal descending, distal descending, proximal sigmoid, and distal sigmoid.)
- •If the patient is a female of child-bearing potential, she agrees to avoid pregnancy during the study and is willing and agrees to practice a recognized form of birth control during the course of the study (e.g., barrier, birth control pills, or abstinence).
- •Patients who have given their free and written informed consent.
排除标准
- •Acute diverticulitis (both complicated and uncomplicated).
- •Acute colitis
- •History of inflammatory bowel disease, colon resection, polyposis syndrome, severe strictures, and perforation.
- •Active bleeding
- •More than 40 diverticula
- •Chronic renal insufficiency
- •Chronic liver disease.
- •Patient is pregnant or lactating or has the intention of becoming pregnant during the study (if female of childbearing potential).
- •Inability to give a valid informed consent or to properly follow the protocol.
- •Patients with an active malignancy of any type, or a recent history of malignancy within the last 5 years.
- •Treated with an investigational medication/treatment within 30 days prior to the screening visit.
- •Currently enrolled in an Investigational study
- •Patient is currently taking or has been treated with any form of glutamine supplement within 30 days of the screening visit.
- •Previous difficulty pulling or passing of scope or difficulty completing colonoscopy.
- •There are factors that would, in the judgment of the investigator, make it difficult for the patient to comply with the requirements of the study.
