Brief summary

Complex oligosaccharides can alter the gut microbiome by aiding in the growth of certain organisms, and possibly, inhibiting others. The synergy with a probiotic may enhance gastrointestinal colonization.

Detailed description

The study will evaluate the synergy of the use of a complex oligosaccharide with and without a probiotic on the human microbiome in healthy volunteers. The combination should support general gastrointestinal health. The study a multi-dose randomized cohort trial using 10 subjects per cohort for a total of 60 healthy adult volunteers ages 18-44.

Changes in Concentration of Blood Parameters From Day 1 to Day 15

Blood samples are collected and tested for analysis of the levels of cytokines using Luminex-based chemistry to assess for immunology screening and safety monitoring of liver function, renal function, and electrolytes and glucose.

Time frame: Day 1 - 15

Population: Descriptive statistics will not include analytes that were not detected in samples or not detected at high enough concentrations to be above the lower limit of quantification. Values for analytes below the lower limit of quantification were imputed with that value for inclusion in the descriptive statistics. Measurements were only taken for Cohorts 1, 2 and 6.

Changes in Concentration of Blood Parameters From Day 1 to Day 15 (Factor VII)

Blood samples are collected and tested for analysis of the levels of cytokines using Luminex-based chemistry to assess for immunology screening and safety monitoring of liver function, renal function, and electrolytes and glucose.

Time frame: Day 1 - 15

Population: Descriptive statistics will not include analytes that were not detected in samples or not detected at high enough concentrations to be above the lower limit of quantitation. Values for analytes below the lower limit of quantification were imputed with that value for inclusion in the descriptive statistics. Data were only available for Cohorts 1, 2 and 6.

Concentrations (µmol/g) of Lactic Acid in Stool Samples From Day 1 to Day 29

Descriptive statistics including means and standard deviation of lactate (Cohort 1; 0g HMO + B. infantis, Cohort 2; 18 g HMO, engrafted subjects and not engrafted subjects from Cohorts 5 & 6 combined; 18g HMO + B. infantis). Descriptive statistics will not include analytes that were not detected in greater than 50% of samples.

Time frame: Day 1, 8, 15, 29

Population: Cohort 1 (no HMO, only B. infantis), Cohort 2 (18g HMO, no B. infantis). Cohorts 5 and 6 were combined because both of these groups received 18g HMO +B. infantis and this was pre-specified in the analysis plan for this outcome. The measurement of lactic acid was expected, therefore, to be very similar between these two groups and the goal of this analysis was to compare the combination of a probiotic with complex oligosaccharides to each of these separately (Cohorts 1 and 2, respectively).

Summary of the Evaluation of the Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors for Protection of B. Infantis Levels in Cohorts 5 and 6 by Visit

Evaluation of B. infantis levels in Dose Group 5 will be compared to B. infantis levels in Dose Groups 6 using descriptive statistics including geometric means and 95% confidence intervals of the genome copy number per nanogram of DNA (B. infantis copies/ng DNA).

Time frame: Day 1, 5, 8, 15, 22, 29, 33, 43, 50, 57

Population: Microbiome Population (Two cohorts received 18g of HMO with B. infantis and will be distinguished from each other by one receiving the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole. In addition, the cohort dosed with omeprazole received a second round of dosing with half of the subjects receiving famotidine in addition to B. infantis and 18g of HMO and the remainder not receiving any acid reducing drugs)
