Probiotics for Autism
Montréal, Quebec
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) present with stereotyped behaviors and often with comorbidities including gastrointestinal symptoms and sleep disturbances. These affect the quality of life of both children and parents. As of now, interventions available to manage ASD-related behaviors rely heavily on the services of professionals who are often difficult to access. What is even more striking is that there are currently no approved medications to treat the core symptoms of ASD. There is an important need for additional strategies to manage severity of ASD and to develop new treatments.
Targeting the bacteria living in the intestine, named 'gut microbiota', by using probiotics is an avenue that has been proposed by other groups to improve behaviors associated with ASD and gastrointestinal symptoms. However, these studies have important limitations, pressing the need for robustly designed interventions.
Previously, the PROBI-O-TISM pilot study was conducted at CHU Sainte-Justine. The investigators confirmed that the Bio-K+ probiotic beverage is acceptable and safe for autistic children and that the proposed study protocol is feasible. The study also led to promising preliminary results suggesting a beneficial effect of the probiotics on behaviors, gastrointestinal symptoms and sleep.
The proposed study will answer the question: ''Does supplementing with Bio-K+ probiotics reduce the severity of autistic behaviors and comorbidities in children with a diagnosis of ASD? '' The investigators will use a solid study design, a double-blinded randomized controlled-trial with placebo, to test the efficacy of a 14-week treatment with daily Bio-K+ probiotic supplement in children aged 4 to 11 years old. The investigators will also study the impact of the supplementation on other parameters such as quality of life, gut microbiota and brain signaling.
This is a unique opportunity to test a simple approach to improve behaviors and comorbidities in autistic children.

FMT for Autism
Los Angeles, California
The purpose of this study is to find out if transplant of fecal matter (stool), also known as fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), from a healthy person into the intestines of children and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
For this study children between the ages of 5-17years will be recruited over 2 years. Children will be recruited who receive an ASD diagnosis using the gold-standard Autism Diagnosis Observation Schedule -2 (ADOS-2) using module 1, 2 or 3 (none, limited or no moderate expressive language). Children diagnosed with these modules of the ADOS-2 may be at greater risk for GI disorders and rigid-compulsive behaviors. Additional assessment of rigid-compulsive behaviors and social communication will be done using the Repetitive Behavioral Scales-Revised (RBS-R) and Social Responsiveness Scale-2 (SRS-2), respectively. KBIT (the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test) is used at baseline to obtain patient IQ. Total evaluation time is approximately 90 minutes. Following baseline symptom evaluation, a medical exam will be performed to determine whether each child is expressing specific GI symptoms. In addition, parents will fill out the Questionnaire for Pediatric Gastrointestinal Symptoms- Rome III (QPGS-III). Once an ASD diagnosis is confirmed, FMT treatment will be initiated, which typically occurs within 4-6 weeks of the initial diagnosis. Half 50% of the children (n=5) will receive the equivalent of 50 g of stools from a healthy donor into the jejunum through upper endoscopy and the other 50% off children (n=5) will receive Saline solution as Placebo control through upper endoscopy.
Subjects will have a total of 5 visits within 24 weeks including phone call follow up on Day 7 after FMT.

Fructanase for Digestive Health
Addison, Illinois
The carbohydrate inulin (from chicory root) is a healthy prebiotic ingredient found in dietary supplements and fortified foods (Nagy et al). Inulin is representative of a broader class of typically health-associated, yet fermentable carbohydrates called fructans that occur naturally in many vegetables, fruits, and wheat. Fructans, or long chains of fructose units, are resistant to human digestive enzyme hydrolysis and transit intact to the small intestine and colon where they undergo rapid fermentation by intestinal microbes. This microbial metabolism of fructans produces gas and other fermentation byproducts that can lead to excess gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms like abdominal bloating, cramping, stomach rumbling, and flatulence (Bonnema et al; Briet et al; Bruhwyler et al), especially in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (Van den Houte et al). A new digestive enzyme called fructanase was developed to help with GI symptoms associated with fructan consumption. Positive findings from in vitro digestion simulations (Guice et al) and a first-in-human safety trial (Garvey et al) helped define the fructanase dose for this clinical trial-the primary objective of which is to investigate the effect of oral fructanase administration on GI symptoms in healthy adults after consuming oatmeal with added inulin (25 grams). Secondary outcomes include breath hydrogen and methane levels, which serve as biomarkers of intestinal microbial fermentation. The investigators hypothesize that fructanase administration will lower the severity of GI symptoms after inulin consumption, as well as lower breath biomarkers of intestinal microbial fermentation, compared to placebo.

Resistant Potato Starch for Gulf War Syndrome
Madison, Wisconsin
Gulf War Illness (GWI) affects an estimated 25-32% of the over 700,000 coalition troops deployed to the Persian Gulf as part of the First Gulf War. GWI causes a range of pain, fatigue, gastrointestinal, skin, neurologic, and respiratory symptoms. New treatments to reduce GWI-associated morbidity are critically needed. Research suggests a role for the gastrointestinal microbiome in mediating health, including through impacting metabolism and immunity. The disruption of this microbiome plays a role in multiple diseases, and preliminary data suggest that Veterans with GWI have altered gut microbiota. The investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of a dietary fiber prebiotic supplement intervention on improving the quality of life of Veterans with GWI.

Azithromycin Impact on Exercise Performance
New Brunswick, New Jersey
The gut microbiome refers to the trillions of bacteria that inhabit the stomach and other regions involved in the digestion of food, including the intestines. Compelling studies of animals (rodents) suggest that the health of the gut microbiome may influence skeletal muscle function and exercise performance. To date, there have been no similar observations reported in humans. A common experimental approach in animal studies to temporarily disrupt the gut microbiome is through the use of antibiotic therapies. Azithromycin is an antibiotic medicine prescribed to humans for the treatment of mild to moderate infections caused by bacteria. The purpose of the proposed project is to determine the influence of short-term (5-days) antibiotic therapy (azithromycin) on exercise performance in young, healthy adults. Treadmill exercise performance will be compared in two groups of adults before and after 5-days ingestion of azithromycin, or a placebo (something that has no physical effect).

Milk + Yogurt for Bone Health
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Milk and dairy products contain significant amounts of nutrients that contribute to optimal health - nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and high-quality protein. Fermented milk products or fermented dairy products are dairy foods that have been fermented with certain bacteria. Yogurt is a fermented dairy product containing millions of beneficial bacteria. In this study, the invesgitagtors will look at the effect of milk (a non-fermented dairy product) and yogurt (a fermented dairy product) supplementation on bone health and the amount of fat and muscle mass in Canadian young adults over a 24-month period. While dairy products contain significant amounts of nutrients, the scientific community does not know the impact of long-term supplementation of fermented (i.e., yogurt) or non-fermented (i.e., milk) dairy food on bone health and the amount of fat and muscle mass in young adults. To fill this knowledge gap, the investigators will recruit participants with low calcium intake and assign them to three different groups: 1) milk (intervention) group; 2) yogurt (intervention) group; and 3) control group. The investigators will ask the participants in the milk group to drink 1.5 servings (375 mL) of milk per day for 24 months. Participants in the yogurt group will consume 2 servings (350 g) of yogurt per day for 24 months. Those in the control group will continue their usual diets. Using a randomized controlled trial design, the investigators will measure bone health parameters, hormonal indices related to bone metabolism, body composition (e.g., muscle mass, fat mass), and the number and composition of bacteria living in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The hypothesis is that supplementation with yogurt will have more positive effects on bone health indices, particularly femoral neck BMD as the primary outcome, than milk in Canadian adults aged 19-30 years. The secondary hypothesis is that supplementation with yogurt, as a fermented milk product, will have a more beneficial effect than milk on body composition measures. The data will provide valuable information for developing targeted health initiatives and marketing strategies regarding the benefits of fermented and non-fermented dairy product consumption.

Iron Supplements for Iron Deficiency
Calgary, Alberta
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if different types and doses of oral iron supplements can improve iron levels, athletic performance, and gut health in young female athletes with low iron stores. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does a low dose of yeast-bound iron improve iron status better than traditional iron supplements?
* Do the different iron supplements cause fewer or more gastrointestinal (stomach) symptoms?
* How do iron supplements affect exercise performance and gut bacteria?
Researchers will compare three types of iron supplements:
* A low-dose iron supplement (40 mg)
* A low-dose yeast-bound iron supplement (40 mg)
* A high-dose iron supplement (150 mg)
This will help researchers find out which type of supplement is most effective and easiest on the stomach.
Participants will:
* Take one of the three assigned iron supplements every other day for 12 weeks
* Complete fitness tests before and after the study, including cycling and jumping tests
* Give blood samples to measure iron levels
* Provide stool and intestinal samples to study gut bacteria
* Swallow a SIMBA capsule before and after the study to collect a sample from the small intestine
* Complete regular online surveys about sleep, stress, menstrual cycles, and gut symptoms

Mediterranean Diet for Parkinson's Disease
Vancouver, British Columbia
The goal of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and effects of an 18-month intervention diet compared to an active control diet (standard diet) in those living with Parkinson's Disease (PD), without dementia.
Research has shown that eating components of Mediterranean diets are associated with a 30% lower risk to develop PD and a 40% lower mortality rate in those living with PD. Diet may influence the gut and microbiomes, thus may affect PD risk and progression.
This study will examine how easy it will be to adhere to a certain type of diet for 18 months and what changes may occur in the gut microbiome and in PD symptoms on a specific diet during that time.
The study will involve in-person study visits at UBC as well as online diet coaching sessions and online group cooking classes over Zoom.
This is a randomized study, meaning that participants will be assigned by chance to either the Mediterranean-style diet group or the standard diet group for the duration of the 18 months.
This pilot study will also examine recruitment rates and retention, in order to prepare for a larger future study.

Dietary Fiber (Inulin) for Gut Health and Immune Response
Davis, California
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding dietary fiber, such as inulin, to a diet that does not have enough fiber would raise the levels of potentially beneficial bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium, in the gut. There is evidence to suggest that these microbes can affect gut health and immune response, including to vaccines. The investigators will examine how inulin in the diet (compared to the maltodextrin control) (1) causes changes in the composition and function of the gut microbes, (2) reduces gut inflammation and gut leakiness caused by the vaccine, (3) increases immune response to vaccination, and (4) changes the expression of important adhesion molecules on the surface of white blood cells. Intestinal and whole-body responses will be measured in all participants.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Gastrointestinal Microbiota clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Gastrointestinal Microbiota clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Gastrointestinal Microbiota trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Gastrointestinal Microbiota is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Gastrointestinal Microbiota medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Gastrointestinal Microbiota clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Iron Supplements for Iron Deficiency, Probiotics for Autism and Resistant Potato Starch for Gut Bacteria to the Power online platform.
