简要总结

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the food supplement containing a postbiotic (inanimate) Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17648 works to improve the symptoms of upper gastrointestinal discomfort in healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Does L. reuteri DSM 17648 reduce the frequency of the symptoms of upper gastrointestinal discomfort, including acid reflux-related and dyspeptic symptoms, and its relief rate, over 8 weeks of intake?
  2. Does L. reuteri DSM 17648 improve gastrointestinal-related quality of life, and perceived stress?
  3. How well do participants tolerate the L. reuteri DSM 17648 supplement?
  4. Does L. reuteri DSM 17648 have an effect on the gut microbiota? (Exploratory aim)

Researchers will compare supplement containing L. reuteri DSM 17648 to a placebo (a look-alike supplement capsule that contains no L. reuteri DSM 17648).

Participants will:

  • Take L. reuteri DSM 17648 supplement or a placebo every day for 8 weeks
  • Answer questionnaires once every 2 weeks
  • Provide stool samples for microbiome assessment at 2 timepoints (baseline and end of study (8 weeks))
  • provide weekly information on investigational product intake and any adverse event records

研究组 & 干预措施

Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17648

Experimental

Participant will take one capsule of L. reuteri DSM 17648 once per day with liquid during or immediately after the main meal, for 8 weeks.

干预措施: Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17648 (Dietary Supplement)

结局指标

主要结局

Change from Baseline in the total score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 8 weeks

时间窗: Baseline; 8 weeks

Difference between Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17648 and placebo arm will be compared. The FSSG questionnaire comprises twelve questions in two domains, i.e. the acid reflux related symptom domain and dyspeptic symptom domain. The FSSG uses a 5-point Likert scale (0-4) for each question, where: never = 0; occasionally = 1; sometimes = 2; often = 3; and always = 4. Total FSSG score ranges from 0-48. Higher score indicates higher frequency.

次要结局

  • Change from Baseline in the total score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 2 weeks(Baseline, 2 weeks)
  • Change from Baseline in the total score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 4 weeks(Baseline, 4 weeks)
  • Change from Baseline in the total score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 6 weeks(Baseline, 6 weeks)
  • Change from Baseline in the acid reflux related symptom sub-score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 2 weeks(Baseline, 2 weeks)
  • Change from Baseline in the acid reflux related symptom sub-score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 4 weeks(Baseline, 4 weeks)
  • Change from Baseline in the acid reflux related symptom sub-score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 6 weeks(Baseline, 6 weeks)
  • Change from Baseline in the acid reflux related symptom sub-score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 8 weeks(Baseline, 8 weeks)
  • Change from Baseline in the dyspeptic symptom sub-score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 2 weeks(Baseline, 2 weeks)
  • Change from Baseline in the dyspeptic symptom sub-score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 4 weeks(Baseline, 4 weeks)
  • Change from Baseline in the dyspeptic symptom sub-score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 6 weeks(Baseline, 6 weeks)
  • Change from Baseline in the dyspeptic symptom sub-score of Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) at 8 weeks(Baseline, 8 weeks)
  • Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) relief rate at 4 weeks(Baseline, Week 4)
  • Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) relief rate at 8 weeks(Baseline, Week 8)
