Brief Summary

This is a Phase IV, open-label, single-center, proof-of-concept, pilot study to evaluate the effect of Lactibiane Tolerance® in treating leaky gut in IBS-D patients. 30 consecutive patients with IBS-D and an increased intestinal permeability assessed by 51Cr-EDTA or 99mTc-DTPA will receive the multistrain probiotic Lactibiane Tolerance® 10 billion CFU 1 capsule twice a day (30 minutes before breakfast and 30 minutes before dinner) for 30 days treatment. At the end of treatment, patients will repeat intestinal permeability assessment by 51Cr-EDTA or 99mTc-DTPA.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of subjects with normal intestinal permeability assessed by 51Cr-EDTA or 99mTc-DTPA

    30 days

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Mean variation of scores of items evaluated by VAS-IBS questionnaire after treatment compared to baseline

    30 days

  • Percentage of patients answering "yes" to the self-evaluation question: "Do you feel that your IBS symptoms have been satisfactory alleviated by this treatment?"

    30 days

  • Mean concentration of serum zonulin before and after treatment

    30 days

  • Mean score on Bristol Stool Scale before and after treatment

    30 days

  • Proportions of patients with 6 and 7 on Bristol Stool scale before and after treatment

    30 days

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Lactibiane Tolerance®

OTHER

30 consecutive patients with IBS-D and an increased intestinal permeability assessed by 51Cr-EDTA or 99mTc-DTPA will receive the multistrain probiotic Lactibiane Tolerance® 10 billion CFU 1 capsule twice a day (30 minutes before breakfast and 30 minutes before dinner) for 30 days treatment. At the end of treatment, patients will repeat intestinal permeability assessment by 51Cr-EDTA or 99mTc-DTPA.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject (or a legal representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
  • Subjects are willing and able to participate in the study, complete subject assessments, attend scheduled clinic visits, and comply with all protocol requirements as evidenced by written informed consent.
  • Male and/or female subjects between the ages of ≥18 and ≤75 years at the time of informed consent.
  • Diagnosis of IBS following Rome IV criteria (Mearin et al., Gastroenterology 2016)\*: Recurrent abdominal pain, on average, at least 1 day per week in the last 3 months, associated with 2 or more of the following criteria:
  • related with defecation
  • associated with a change in frequency of stool
  • onset associated with a change in form (appearance) of stool \* Criteria fulfilled for the last 3 months with symptom onset at least 6 months before diagnosis.
  • Diagnosis of IBS with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D), following Rome IV criteria (Mearin et al., Gastroenterology 2016): more than one fourth (25%) of bowel movements with Bristol stool form types 6 or 7 and less than one-fourth (25%) of bowel movements with Bristol stool form types 1 or 2 or Patient reports that abnormal bowel movements are usually diarrhea (like type 6 or 7 in the picture of Bristol Stool Form Scale)
  • Evidence of a colonoscopy performed 5 years within the enrolment showing no evidence of organic disease
  • Evidence of increased intestinal permeability at 51Cr-EDTA or 99mTc-DTPA assessment performed during screening phase.

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects presenting with any of the following will not be included in the study:
  • Subjects with suspect or evidence of organic disease, including but not limited to coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal neoplasia, unexplained anemia
  • Subjects with a history of colonic or small bowel resection.
  • Subjects with lactose intolerance
  • Use of probiotics or antibiotics or investigational agents within 30 days before baseline
  • Repeated use of anti-inflammatory drugs, including the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen within 7 days from the enrolment (except for prophylactic use of a stable dose of aspirin up to 325 mg / day for cardiac disease) and use of any product or ingredient that can have an effect on the intestinal permeability.
  • Any major illness/condition or evidence of an unstable clinical condition (eg, renal, hepatic, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, immunologic, or local active infection/infectious illness) that, in the investigator's judgement will substantially increase the risk to the subject if he or she participates in the study.
  • Normal intestinal permeability at 51Cr-EDTA or 99mTc-DTPA assessment performed during screening
  • Women during pregnancy or lactation.
