Probiotics Improve Health Young Volunteers' Gut Microbiota
China109 participantsStarted 2024-04-20
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether daily supplementation with the probiotic Bifidobacterium breve BBr60 can improve metabolic, gastrointestinal, and emotional health in healthy adult volunteers aged 19 to 45 years.
The main questions it aims to answer are: Can B. breve BBr60 improve lipid metabolism (e.g., increase HDL and reduce total cholesterol) in healthy adults? Can B. breve BBr60 alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms and improve emotional well-being in a non-clinical population? Researchers will compare a BBr60 supplementation group to a placebo group to see if the probiotic group experiences greater improvements in metabolic, gastrointestinal, and psychological indicators.
Participants will: Take one sachet daily of either B. breve BBr60 (10 billion CFU) or placebo for 8 weeks. Provide blood and stool samples at baseline and week 8. Complete validated questionnaires assessing alcohol dependence, gastrointestinal symptoms, and emotional status.

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?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Patients with serious diseases of the cardiovascular, liver, kidney, hematopoietic systems, autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, mental illnesses, existing high blood sugar, or unhealthy gastrointestinal conditions;
. Those who discontinue the test sample or take other medications midway, making it difficult to judge efficacy or with incomplete data;
. Recently taken probiotics, prebiotics, or antibiotics related to the function of the test substance, affecting the judgment of results;
. Individuals with a daily diet that is either too light or too greasy; those with special dietary structures due to weight loss or other reasons (such as a ketogenic diet);
