Personalized Anti-Inflammatory Fibres in Ulcerative Colitis (NCT06515210)
Clinical Profiling of Anti-inflammatory Fibre Supplements in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis: Towards Personalized Complementary Strategies.
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the clinical effects of two different dietary fibre supplements, acacia gum (AG) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), in patients with ulcerative colitis. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the fibre supplements reduce gut inflammation (fecal calprotectin)? Researchers will compare AG and MCC to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no fibre) to see if the fibre supplements improve inflammation in ulcerative colitis. Participants will add their assigned fibre supplement or placebo to their usual diet daily for 6 weeks. They will visit the clinic at baseline, week 3, and week 6 to provide samples (stool, blood) and complete various questionnaires.
