Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Identification of the gut microbial taxa using DNA sequencing of the samples obtained from the CapScan devices
A primary endpoint is to identify and quantitate the relative abundance of the gut microbial taxa using at least 3 million metagenomic DNA sequencing reads in at least 75% of the samples obtained from the CapScan devices.
Identification of the gut metabolites using liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry of the samples obtained from the CapScan devices
A primary endpoint is to identify at least 1,500 annotated gut metabolites from the intestinal tract in at least 75% of the samples obtained from the CapScan devices.
Secondary outcomes
Detect changes in composition of gut microbial taxa using DNA sequencing in subjects before and after omeprazole treatment
Evaluate the diversity, centroids and distributions of microbial taxa from sequenced CapScan samples of the study population from before and after omeprazole treatment.
Detect changes in composition of gut metabolites using liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry in subjects before and after omeprazole treatment
Evaluate the diversity, centroids and distributions of gut metabolites in CapScan samples of the study population from before and after omeprazole treatment.
