Clinical trials

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pylori Duo as an adjunctive treatment in adult patients with confirmed Helicobacter pylori infection. Approximately 140 participants will be randomized to receive standard quadruple therapy (omeprazole plus Pylera®) combined with either placebo or Pylori Duo for 10 days, followed by placebo or Pylori Duo for 3 months. The primary objective is to assess the effect of Pylori Duo on gastrointestinal adverse effects associated with standard eradication therapy. Secondary objectives include assessment of H. pylori eradication, recurrence at 3 and 12 months, gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life, and safety.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel habits in the absence of detectable structural abnormalities. Its pathophysiology is multifactorial and may involve alterations in the intestinal microbiota, impaired epithelial barrier function, low-grade immune activation, and disturbances in the digestion and fermentation of dietary nutrients. Enzymax DuoBiotics combines digestive enzymes with a synbiotic formulation in a capsule-in-capsule delivery system. The outer capsule contains digestive enzymes intended for release in the stomach, whereas the inner capsule contains Lactobacillus plantarum and fructooligosaccharides intended for release in the intestine. This formulation is designed to separate the enzymatic and synbiotic components and support their delivery to the intended gastrointestinal sites. The combined approach is intended to support macronutrient digestion while modulating the intestinal microbial environment. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will compare once-daily Enzymax DuoBiotics with placebo over a 12-week treatment period in adults with IBS. Participants will be allocated in a 1:1 ratio, and treatment effects over time will be evaluated using assessments performed during the treatment period. The primary statistical analysis will use linear mixed-effects models including treatment group, time, and the treatment group-by-time interaction. The primary analysis will follow the intention-to-treat principle and may be supplemented by a per-protocol analysis.
