Active clinical trials for "Diarrhea"

This single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is designed to compare effects of aldafermin, (NGM282), 1 mg, and placebo given daily by subcutaneous injection on bowel functions and hepatic synthesis and fecal excretion of bile acids in patients with diarrhea associated with bile acid malabsorption (BAM).

The goal of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of LRG-002 investigational medicinal product, capsules (Lek d.d., Slovenia) in comparison with placebo, as an adjunct treatment for prophylaxis of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in patients with acute respiratory diseases (ARDs) receiving a standard antimicrobial therapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of probiotics in rotavirus acute diarrhea in children. The investigators will compare the effect of two different probiotics products.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterised by chronic or recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort and diarrhoea. This trial aims at the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the neurokinin type 2 receptor antagonist Ibodutant in improving IBS-D symptoms.

Various studies have been conducted in past using different strains of probiotics in evaluating IBS symptoms. The results are by no means consistent and the overall impact of probiotics in IBS remains unclear. However, recently O'Mahony L et al have shown that Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 alleviates symptoms in IBS; this symptomatic response was associated with normalization of the ratio of an anti-inflammatory to a proinflammatory cytokine (IL-10/IL-12 ratio), suggesting an immune-modulating role for this organism, in this disorder.Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast that has been successfully used for the antibiotic induced diarrhea, prevent relapse of Clostridium difficile and Crohn's disease. It ameliorates intestinal injury and inflammation caused by a wide variety of enteric pathogens.We therefore plan a Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to assess the effects of Saccharomyces boulardii in improving symptomatology of diarrhea predominant IBS and its effect on quality of life. We also plan to assess the changes in the relative production of anti-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-10 to proinflammatory cytokines (IL-12, IL-8 and TNFα).

This study will evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of DNK333 against diarrhea caused by Irritable Bowel Syndrome in women.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common condition affecting 1 in 10 of the population. About a third of these suffer from diarrhoea, which severely impairs their quality of life. Previous studies in Nottingham have suggested that some patients with diarrhoea may have an excess of a chemical called serotonin in their gut. Serotonin stimulates secretion and propulsion in the gut and contributes to diarrhoea. We are interested to see whether a drug, Ondansetron, which blocks the effect of serotonin, would improve symptoms in patients with IBS and diarrhoea. We think the drug may work better in people with a specific gene type so your genetic makeup may be of influence and we would like to test this. Because IBS symptoms fluctuate, one way to determine whether Ondansetron is effective is to perform a randomised placebo controlled trial in which neither the patient nor the doctor knows which medication is being taken in each part of the study.

Probiotics may improve symptoms in IBS patients. The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of Lactobacillus FARCIMINIS in diarrhea predominant IBS patients according to Rome III criteria.

Primary: To demonstrate the efficacy of Enterogermina® in reducing the duration of acute diarrhea in children Secondary: To evaluate the safety of Enterogermina® in acute diarrhea in Indian children

Approximately 24 patients will be entered into this study taking place in Canada. The aim of this study is to determine if an investigational drug is absorbed (taken up) in patients with C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). The investigational drug will be given in addition to current standard antibiotic treatment so that all patients will receive active medication. All study related care is provided including doctor visits, physical exams, laboratory tests, and study medication. The total length of participation is approximately 7 days.
