Skin Patch Test for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Barboursville, West Virginia
Participants with IBS are skin patch tested (no needles) to 80 different foods and food additives, compounded for patch testing, in search of food allergies. The testing requires 3 office visits within a 4 or 5 day period. The patches are taped to the back at Visit #. At Visit #2 48 hours later, the patches are removed from the skin and the outside border of each patch is marked with a felt tip marker. At Visit #3 (final visit) 1 or 2 days later, the patch test reading is performed by the doctor-investigator. An allergy is identified as a small red mark where the food was in contact with the skin for 48 hours. Those participants found to have food allergies are then placed on an avoidance diet (no calorie restriction) for 16 weeks where they either avoid eating the food(s) to which they are allergic (the \"true\" avoidance diet) or food(s) to which the testing did not show an allergy (this is called the \"sham\" avoidance diet). There is a 50/50 chance of going on either avoidance diet. The avoidance diet is assigned in such a way that neither the participant or the doctor-investigator knows which diet is being followed. After the 16 weeks, the participants answers a brief online questionnaire that asks about the IBS symptoms while following the avoidance diet. After the 16 week avoidance diet and final questionnaire are completed, those participants who were on the sham diet will be told of their true food allergies which they may try avoiding on their own.

Low FODMAP Diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Ann Arbor, Michigan
The pathophysiology of Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is multifactorial involving complex interplay of altered intestinal permeability, mucosal immune activation, visceral hypersensitivity and gut dysbiosis. Although the exact triggers for these pathological changes in IBS are not clear but diet might play an important role. In fact, several studies have reported improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms on a diet low in FODMAPs (LFD) in patients with IBS, specifically in diarrhea predominant IBS (IBS-D). However, the mechanism of action of LFD is not well understood.

Mindfulness Training for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
In the largest and most well-controlled randomized control trial of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) training in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to-date (N=360), the investigators will evaluate whether a smartphone MBI program (with attention monitoring and acceptance skills training; Monitor+Accept, MA-MBI) reduces daily life stress and IBS symptoms at post-treatment and two-month follow-up, relative to a matched MBI program with acceptance skills training removed (training in attention monitoring skills only; Monitor Only, MO-MBI) or to an active stress management training control group (Coping Control, CC). Participants will not only provide clinician and patient assessed measures of IBS symptoms at the three time points, but they will also provide sensitive experience sampling assessments (using Ecological Momentary Assessment) of their stress and symptoms in daily life at each time point. Finally, as an exploratory aim, participants will provide stool samples at baseline and post-intervention to provide the first ever test of whether MBIs can alter the gut microbiome in IBS. We will also conduct a sub-study that will include completion of a cold-water challenge performance task to test individuals' distress tolerance.

Low FODMAP Diet + PEG 3350 for IBS with Constipation
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Consecutive patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) will be recruited from the outpatient clinics of the University of Michigan Health System. Eligible patients will be asked to participate in a study that will test the efficacy the PEG 3350 + a diet low in fermentable oligo, di, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) vs. PEG 3350 plus sham diet. Blinding dietary advice trials is challenging and therefore the sham diet was based on the criteria set forth by Staudacher et al. which emphasizes that the diet must give the impression that is the true intervention diet with similar restrictions, modifications, and time intensity without impacting the intake of essential nutrients, fiber, and FODMAPs. An example of the sham diet's carbohydrates includes: apples, bananas, and pears, and wheat. Oranges, raspberries, strawberries and rice would not be allowed. Additionally, the physicians analyzing the data will be blinded as to which group the patients were randomized.

Biofeedback for Functional Abdominal Bloating
Hamilton, Ontario
Background. Abdominal distention is produced by an abnormal somatic postural tone. The authors developed an original biofeedback technique. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial the authors demonstrated the superiority of biofeedback over placebo for the treatment of abdominal distention. However, the technique is technically complex and unpractical.
Aim. To prove the efficacy of a noninstrumental biofeedback technique, transmitted by a standard training program, for the treatment of abdominal distension in different centers.
Selection criteria. Episodes of visible abdominal distension. Intervention. Patients will be randomized into biofeedback and placebo groups. Three sessions of either biofeedback or placebo intervention will be performed during the first 3 weeks of the intervention period.
Biofeedback: Patients will be taught to control abdominal and thoracic muscular activity by providing instructions using an original video support. In each center one operator will receive a standard training on how to deliver the noninstrumental biofeedback treatment. Patients will be instructed to perform the same exercises before and after breakfast, lunch and dinner during the 4-week intervention period.
Placebo: Sham measurements of abdominal and thoracic motion will be performed, and a pill of placebo containing 0.21 g glucose will be administered; patients will be instructed to take a pill of placebo before breakfast, lunch and dinner during the 4-week intervention period.

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.

Gut-directed Hypnotherapy for IBS in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Toronto, Ontario
This randomized, controlled trial (RCT) will evaluate the effectiveness of gut-directed hypnotherapy for management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in individuals diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes or Generalized Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (G-HSD). Consenting patients recruited from the Toronto General Hospital GoodHope Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Clinic will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: (1) standard medical therapy or (2) standard medical therapy plus eight sessions of gut-directed hypnotherapy. The main questions this study will answer are:
1. Is gut-directed hypnotherapy an efficacious treatment for IBS symptoms among individuals with EDS or G-HSD?
2. Does gut-directed hypnotherapy improve other gut symptoms, quality of life, visceral sensitivity, and emotional distress?
3. Is the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system (i.e. the body's "rest and digest" system) associated with IBS symptoms or treatment outcomes among individuals with EDS or G-HSD?
All participants will be asked to meet with a gastroenterologist three times as part of the standard medical therapy. At each physician visit, they will undergo electrocardiogram recording and complete self-report measures of gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life, visceral sensitivity, and emotional distress. Participants randomized to receive gut-directed hypnotherapy will also eight weekly remotely-delivered sessions of gut-directed hypnotherapy delivered by a trained behavioral therapist in between the first and second physician visit. At each session of gut-directed hypnotherapy, a voluntary, pleasant, and dream-like state of deep relaxation will be induced and suggestions made for greater relaxation, abdominal comfort, and normalization of gut function. The first session will also include 30 minutes of education on the nature of the gut-brain axis and hypnotherapy prior to hypnosis.
Researchers will compare study groups to see if participants who engaged in gut-directed hypnotherapy had greater improvement in IBS symptoms, other gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life, visceral sensitivity, and emotional distress. Exploratory analyses will examine the relationships among heart rate variability, an index of parasympathetic nervous system activity, and study outcomes.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Neurostimulation for Autonomic Dysfunction
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) affect up to 25% of U.S. children. Patients often suffer from disabling, multisystem comorbidities that suggest a common root (sleep disturbances, fatigue, anxiety, etc). Yet, DGBI are defined and treated based on GI symptom origin (cyclic vomiting, dyspepsia, irritable bowel) rather than underlying pathophysiology. Many patients manifest comorbidities suggesting an underlying autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation (palpitations, dizziness, cognitive dysfunction). Unfortunately, due to common features of anxiety and visceral hyperreactivity and lack of obvious pathology, children with DGBI are frequently diagnosed with psychosomatic or 'benign, functional disorders' and treated with empiric antidepressants despite lack of scientific support and risks of serious side effects. Little is known about the underlying brain-gut mechanisms linking these comorbidities. A lack of targeted treatment options naturally follows the paucity of mechanistic data. A dysregulated ANS response circuit via brainstem nuclei is linked to visceral hypersensitivity. As the team's prior research has shown, ANS regulation can be non-invasively measured via several validated indices of cardiac vagal tone. Using the novel vagal efficiency (VE) metric, the investigators have demonstrated inefficient vagal regulation in cyclic vomiting syndrome and pain-related DGBI and that low VE predicts response to non-invasive, auricular percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation (PENFS) therapy. PENFS targets brainstem vagal afferent pathways and, along with brain-gut interventions such as hypnotherapy, are the only therapies currently proven effective for pediatric DGBI. Individualizing neurostimulation based on sensory thresholds while assessing dynamic ANS reactivity offers a path towards personalized medicine using the most effective therapies to date. This proposal will test the feasibility of an ANS tracking software in assessing real-time, autonomic regulation and providing individualized neurostimulation in children with nausea/vomiting and ANS imbalance.

Psyllium for Pediatric IBS
Durham, North Carolina
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a fiber (psyllium) can change the way bacteria use fructans (a type of sugar) and whether psyllium can help decrease childhood irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms when eating fructans. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Aim 1: The effect of psyllium at two doses given with a fructan meal on microbial fructan fermentation (intracolonic pH; H2 gas production; gut microbiome composition; fecal short-chain fatty acids, lactate, glycomics).
Aim 2: Determine the impact of psyllium given with a fructan meal on fructan-induced GI symptoms.
Participants will first be asked to eat a specific diet over two three-day periods to determine if fructans worsen their IBS symptoms. Those with worsening symptoms with fructans will be asked to participate in the second part of the study. This includes two weeks of baseline (no change in diet) and two weeks of eating a specific diet with fructans with either psyllium or glucose. Participants will be asked to complete pain and stool diaries, submit stool specimens, swallow a pill to capture gut acid levels, and give breath samples.

Yoga & Meditation for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Camden, New Jersey
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common cause of recurrent abdominal pain in children. IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder that is linked to motor and sensory physiology, as well as the central nervous system, that presents as abdominal pain with abnormal defecation patterns. This discomfort leads to emotional stress, decreased quality of life, and anxiety. The study proposes that yoga and mindfulness will decrease anxiety and increase quality of life for patients with IBS. The aim of this study is to measure the impact of a brief, at-home, 6-week twice per week Standardized Yoga \& Meditation Program for Stress Reduction program on anxiety, IBS symptoms, and quality of life in children ages 12-21 diagnosed with IBS.

Oral Glutamine for Gulf War Syndrome
Memphis, Tennessee
Many veterans with Gulf War Illness developed chronic gastrointestinal symptoms during their deployment to the Persian Gulf. The pathophysiologic mechanisms of these chronic gastrointestinal symptoms are not well understood but cause significant morbidity in veterans. Our proposed studies will provide an innovative and novel treatment trial for chronic gastrointestinal symptoms in veterans with Gulf War Illness that were deployed into war zones. Given that there are currently no specific treatments for these disorders, and that current symptomatic approaches are far from ideal, proof of principle of our trial would be an extremely important advance as it would not only have a beneficial impact on the health of many thousands of our veterans, but also it would substantially reduce the many negative economic effects of this ailment on the VA Health Care System.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Irritable Bowel Syndrome 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 Irritable Bowel Syndrome 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 Irritable Bowel Syndrome 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 Irritable Bowel Syndrome 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 Irritable Bowel Syndrome 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.
