简要总结

This research is studying how a food product (resistant potato starch) which is a dietary supplement made from potato starch affects the gut bacteria of people with cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy.

The researchers in this study want to understand how potato starch works in the subject's body and how the body will react to it. Along with taking the study product participants health-related information and stool will be collected for this research study.

研究组 & 干预措施

Resistant potato starch

Experimental

This will be taken for four weeks by enrolled participants.

干预措施: Resistant Potato Starch (Other)

结局指标

主要结局

Change in stool short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels from baseline to week 4

时间窗: Baseline, Week 4

The study team will compare the total concentrations of the 3 most abundant SCFAs in humans (acetate, propionate, and butyrate) at baseline and week 4. Stool will undergo SCFA quantification by the University of Michigan Metabolomics core.

次要结局

  • Feasibility of completing study activities(baseline, week 8)
  • Number of patients enrolled in the study as a proportion of the number of patients contacted by the study team(start of screening, end of enrollment (approximately 20 months))
  • Intervention adherence(baseline, week 4)
  • Number and type of adverse events from baseline to week 8(baseline to week 8)
  • Change in T-score for the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) gastrointestinal diarrhea 6a baseline to week 4(Baseline, Week 4)
  • Retention to end of study(start of screening, end of enrollment (approximately 20 months))
  • Change in animal naming test (ANT) from baseline to week 4(Baseline, Week 4)
  • Change in T-score for the PROMIS Gastrointestinal Gas and Bloating 13a scale baseline to week 4(Baseline, Week 4)
  • Feasibility based on the number of specimens collected(baseline, week 4)
