Cow's milk contains two types of β-casein: A1 and A2. It is evident from human clinical trials that milk with A1 protein produces more hydrogen and symptoms of lactose intolerance. A pro-inflammatory μ-opioid peptide BCM-7 is released from A1 but not from A2. Milk containing A1 β-casein produced more inflammatory markers than A2 β-casein. This is a double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial conducted to determine if there are changes in inflammatory markers following two weeks of milk feeding, due to milk containing A1 and A2 beta-casein as compared to milk containing only A2 beta-casein.

A2 Milk for Lactose Intolerance

West Lafayette, Indiana
Cow's milk contains two types of β-casein: A1 and A2. It is evident from human clinical trials that milk with A1 protein produces more hydrogen and symptoms of lactose intolerance. A pro-inflammatory μ-opioid peptide BCM-7 is released from A1 but not from A2. Milk containing A1 β-casein produced more inflammatory markers than A2 β-casein. This is a double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial conducted to determine if A1 beta-casein containing milk causes acute effects on inflammatory markers following a single milk feeding, as compared to milk containing only A2 beta-casein.

The goal of this Interventional study is to validate the Smart Underwear device's ability to detect lactose intolerance by comparing its results to self-reported symptoms in adult participants aged 18 and above, divided equally between self-reported lactose-tolerant and lactose-intolerant individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the Smart Underwear device reliably measure flatus events after lactose consumption? Does the Microbiome Activity Index differentiate between responses to lactose and sucrose consumption? Researchers will compare participants consuming lactose (experimental arm) with their results after consuming sucrose (placebo arm) to see if the device detects increased flatus events and higher Microbiome Activity Index values in the lactose arm. Participants will: * Follow a low-fiber/low-FODMAP diet for four days. * Record meals using a food log and a custom smartphone app. * Wear the Smart Underwear device for 8 hours daily for three days. * Fast for 12 hours overnight, consume 20 grams of either lactose or sucrose dissolved in water, and continue fasting for an additional 4 hours. * Fast for 12 hours overnight, consume 20 grams of the carbohydrate they did not consume the first time (lactose or sucrose) dissolved in water, and continue fasting for an additional 4 hours. * Complete digestive symptom surveys after each carbohydrate intake. The randomized crossover design ensures that participants consume both lactose and sucrose on separate days, with blinding maintained for both participants and researchers.

Individuals with lactase non-persistence (LNP; determined by a functional variant in the LCT gene \[rs4988235, GG genotype\]) are susceptible to lactose intolerance in adulthood due to deficiency of lactase, the enzyme which digests milk lactose sugars. However, many LNP individuals still drink ≥1 cup of milk daily. Recent analysis in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) found that consumption of 1 serving (cup) of milk/day was associated with \~30% lower risk of type 2 diabetes among LNP individuals, but not among individuals with lactase persistence (LP). This beneficial effect might be partially explained by favorable alterations in gut microbiota and related metabolites associated with higher milk consumption among LNP individuals. Based on these observational study findings, the investigator team proposes to conduct a randomized, controlled trial of lactose-containing vs. lactose-free milk in LNP individuals with pre-diabetes, to comprehensively investigate the effects of milk intake on the gut microbiome and glycemic outcomes.

Protocols for Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for the main food allergens have been recently incorporated in clinical practice for food allergies and their clinical benefits have been acknowledged in European and Canadian official guidelines. There has been some reluctance in both clinicians and patients to implement these therapies, primarily because of the risk of allergic reactions during the desensitization process. This study will investigate if protocols using low doses of a food allergen or processed versions of the allergen can be both effective in conferring desensitization while inducing fewer allergic symptoms during the desensitization process.

Blenderized diets consist of a wide range of table foods such as fruits, vegetables, meat and legumes, pureed in a blender and administered via gastrostomy tube. In a recent study, the investigators reported that children receiving blenderized feeds via gastrostomy had fewer total admissions and respiratory admissions, total emergency room visits, and improved gastrointestinal symptom scores compared to those fed formula. The goal of this project is to understand how these diets affect gastroesophageal reflux burden.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"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."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Lactose Intolerance 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 Lactose Intolerance 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 Lactose Intolerance 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 Lactose Intolerance 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 Lactose Intolerance 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 Lactose Intolerance clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Milk for Diabetes Prevention, Smart Underwear for Lactose Intolerance and Early Human Milk Fortification for Premature Infants to the Power online platform.
