Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Symptom improvement rate at Week 24 using the Global Overall Symptom Scale (GOS) in patients with biliary dyspepsia
* Description: The Global Overall Symptom Scale assesses the overall severity of upper abdominal symptoms such as pain or discomfort, bloating, excessive belching, and nausea. Symptoms are rated on a 7-point Likert scale, where 1 = no symptoms and 7 = very severe symptoms. * Outcome Definition: Improvement is defined as a decrease of 2 or more points compared to baseline. * Unit of Measure: Percentage of participants with ≥2-point reduction
Baseline and Week 24
Secondary Outcomes (1)
1. Symptom improvement rate using the GOS in patients with biliary dyspepsia 2. Change in dyspepsia symptom scores using the NDI-K 3. Change in quality of life scores using the NDI-K
Baseline, Week 4, Week 12, and Week 24

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Individuals who have voluntarily agreed to participate in this clinical trial
- Adults aged 19 years and older
- Individuals with pain localized to the epigastrium and/or right upper quadrant, as defined by the ROME IV diagnostic criteria
- Rome IV criteria(Functional gallbladder and sphincter of Oddi disorders Diagnostic criteria) 1) Builds up to a steady level and lasts 30 minutes or longer 2) Occurring at different intervals (not daily) 3) Severe enough to interrupt daily activities or lead to an emergency department visit 4) Not significantly (\<20%) related to bowel movements 5) Not significantly (\<20%) relieved by postural change or acid suppression
- Supportive criteria:
- The pain may be associated with:
- \) Nausea and vomiting 2) Radiation to the back and/or right infrasubscapular region 3) Waking from sleep
- \. Individuals without any organic lesions on abdominal ultrasonography performed during screening that could explain biliary colic symptoms due to gallstones
You may not qualify if:
- \. Medical History
- Patients with frequent biliary colic or biliary tract infections (e.g., severe pancreatic changes such as ileal resection, surgery, or partial ileitis, which may alter the composition of enterohepatic bile acid circulation).
- Patients with obstructive jaundice.
- Patients with liver disease.
- Patients with severe renal disease.
- Patients with severe biliary obstruction (due to the potential choleretic effect, symptoms may worsen).
- Patients with underlying conditions that may worsen biliary obstruction (e.g., cholangiocarcinoma, cholangitis, biliary cysts).
- Patients with acute cholecystitis.
- Patients with a clear etiology of dyspepsia (e.g., those with endoscopically or clinically confirmed GI abnormalities such as gastric ulcer, gastroparesis; regular NSAID users; or those with prominent heartburn).
- Patients with peptic ulcer disease (due to the potential for mucosal irritation and symptom aggravation).
- Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease.
- Patients with cholestasis.
- Patients with abnormal gallbladder contractility.
- Patients with a history of malignancy within 5 years prior to screening.
- Patients with a history of gastrointestinal surgery.
