Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Quantitative improvement in the following gastrointestinal symptoms from baseline (Visit 1) to end-of-treatment (Visit 3), measured using a standardized symptom severity score (e.g., Likert scale or symptom checklist): - Bloating - Acid reflux -Early satiety -Upper abdominal pain or discomfort -Burning sensation in the upper abdomen or retrosternal region - Nausea - Vomiting - Burping - Flatulence -Assessment time points Day 0 baseline Day 15 plus or minus 3 days Day 30 plus or minus 3 days -Change in gastric pH Mean difference in gastric pH values measured at Visit 1 Day 0 and Visit 3 Day 30 plus or minus 3 days using laboratory testing methods -Change in fecal pH Mean difference in fecal pH values between baseline and end of treatment as an indicator of gut environment Timepoint: Day 0 - Visit 1 Day 15 3 - Visit 2 Day 30 3 - Visit 3 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| -Change in Quality of Life Assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, administered at Visit 1 and Visit 3. Domains include: - Physical health - Psychological well-being - Social relationships - Environment -Global Assessment of Efficacy A global evaluation of the overall change in symptoms, rated independently by: - The investigator, and - The participant, on a 5-point scale (e.g., Worse, No Change, Slightly Improved, Improved, Markedly Improved) -Global Assessment of Tolerability Rated by both the investigator and the participant, based on: - Adverse events (frequency, type, severity) - Clinical observations (vital signs, physical exams) - Subjective feedback on tolerabilityTimepoint: Day 0 - Visit 1 Day 15 3 - Visit 2 Day 30 3 - Visit 3 | — |
