Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Glutamine for the Treatment of Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Glutamine for Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 106 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
New and effective treatments are needed for patients with post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of glutamine, an abundant amino acid in the body and the principal fuel for enterocytes, in patients who developed diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome with increased intestinal permeability following an enteric infection.
