Longitudinal Study of the Intestinal, Cutaneous and Salivary Microbiota in Children With Food-induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (SEIPA)
France25 participantsStarted 2019-12-26
Plain-language summary
Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) is a non IgE-mediated allergy, presenting with vomiting, and may be complicated by hypovolemic shock.
The pathophysiology of FPIES is not well characterized and there is no biological marker confirming the diagnosis or predicting recovery. Gut microbiota in IgE-mediated allergy is pro-inflammatory and the addition of pro- or prebiotics can accelerate healing. Microbiota of patients with FPIES have never been studied yet.
The aim of this work is therefore to analyse longitudinally the gut microbiota of patients with FPIES, before and after healing, in order to predict the recovery from FPIES. The cutaneous and salivary microbiota will also be analysed at the same time, in order to look for a correlation between these three microbiota.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
