Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Addition to an Antiretroviral Treatment of a Probiotic

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
HIV
Premature Aging
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Placebo
Dietary Supplement: Probiotic
Dietary Supplement: Prebiotic
Registration Number
NCT03542786
Lead Sponsor
AB Biotics, SA
Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate a therapy for the inflammaging (premature aging).

Detailed Description

It's been demonstrated that the HIV-1 virus is associated to the reduction of the microbiota. Some studies suggest that because of this bacterial reduction, the premature aging appears. So this study aims to demonstrate that our probiotic can balance the microbiota as a preventive solution for the inflammaging.

GroupInterventionDescription
PlaceboPlaceboThis group will only have their habitual antiretroviral therapy. The placebo will be taken once a day during 6 months.
i3.1 + ProSeedProbioticThis group will have their habitual antiretroviral therapy combined with the probiotic (i3.1) and the prebiotic (ProSheed). The prebiotic and probiotic will be taken once a day during 6 months.
i3.1 + ProSeedPrebioticThis group will have their habitual antiretroviral therapy combined with the probiotic (i3.1) and the prebiotic (ProSheed). The prebiotic and probiotic will be taken once a day during 6 months.
i3.1ProbioticThis group will have their habitual antiretroviral therapy (integrase inhibitor (INI), protease inhibitor (IP), reverse transcriptase inhibitor (ITINAN)) combined with the research product (probiotic i3.1). The prebiotic will be taken once a day during 6 months.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The appearance of adverse effects.Change from Baseline Adverse Effects will be measured at 1 month and 3 months after the treatment beginning (V1 and V2 respectively).

Percentage of patients with adverse events (AE) in the 3 study arms: i3.1, i3.1 + ProSeed and Placebo.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Gut microbiota diversity and metabolomic profileA measure will be made in V1, V2, V3 and V4 (1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the treatment beginning, respectively).

Biodiversity changes among the basal visit and 3 months after (in each arm), measured using the Shannon Index.

Satisfaction with the productA measure will be made in V2, V3 and V4 (3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the treatment beginning, respectively).

This parameter will be measured in order to evaluate the satisfaction of the patient with the research product. The satisfaction with the product wil be measured with the Likert Scale (with answers from satisfied to unsatisfied).

Questionaire to evaluate the life qualityA measure will be made in V2, V3 and V4 (3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the treatment beginning, respectively).

This parameter will be measured with the Medical Outcomes Study-HIV questionaire (with answers from not affected to affected).

Questionaires to evaluate the anxiety and depressionA measure will be made in V2, V3 and V4 (3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the treatment beginning, respectively).

This parameter will be measured with the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) questionaire (with answers from never to always).

CD4/CD8 ratioA measure will be made in V2, V3 and V4 (3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the treatment beginning, respectively).

Ratio changes among the basal visit and 3 months after, in each arm.

Translocational bacterial markers & Systemic inflammation markersA measure will be made in V1 and V2 (1 month and 3 months after the treatment beginning, respectively).

Markers changes among the basal visit and 3 months after, in each arm.The plasma levels of lipopolysaccharide, sCD14, Interleukin 6 and Iinterleukin 10 will be measured.

Cluster of Differentation 4 (CD4) countA measure will be made in V2, V3 and V4 (3 months, 6 months and 9 months after the treatment beginning, respectively).

Recount changes (cells/mm3) among the basal visit and 3 months after, in each arm.
