Prebiotic Fructans Effect on 1-3 Years Constipated Children's Bowel Habits (CONSTICHILD)

Study Description
Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to confirm the effectiveness of chicory-derived prebiotic inulin-type fructans on bowel function in young children.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Constipation Dietary Supplement: Prebiotic fructans Dietary Supplement: Non-prebiotic maltodextrin Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
The aim of the study is to confirm the effectiveness of chicory-derived prebiotic inulin-type fructans on bowel function in young children. It is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.This study plans to recruit into the group of 100 participants (at least 80 of them completed) in 2018-2020.The two groups for the study are product group (prebiotic fructans) and control group (placebo maltodextrin).Duration of intervention is 6 weeks, including 2 weeks for run-in and 4 weeks for intervention.Efficacy parameters are stool consistency (assessed with Amsterdam infant stool scale),stool frequency, stool amount and stool color (assessed with Amsterdam infant stool scale, treatment success, tolerance and acceptability).

Estimated Enrollment : 100 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Double-blind, Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial Investigating the Effect of Prebiotic Fructans on Bowel Habits of Constipated Young Children One to Three Years of Age
Estimated Study Start Date : September 2019
Estimated Primary Completion Date : October 2020
Estimated Study Completion Date : December 2020
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Prebiotic fructans
Prebiotic fructans. Prebiotic will be mixed into foods or drinks and consumed twice daily.
 Dietary Supplement: Prebiotic fructans
Prebiotic group receiving the prebiotic fructans in two doses during the 4-week intervention period.
Placebo Comparator: Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin. Maltodextrin will be mixed into foods or drinks and consumed twice daily.
 Dietary Supplement: Non-prebiotic maltodextrin
Placebo group receiving the non-prebiotic maltodextrin in two doses during the 4-week intervention period.
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Stool consistency [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    Assessed by the parents in a continuous daily bowel diary over the study period using the Amsterdam Infant Stool Scale (AISS) comprised of a 4-point scale (A: watery, B: soft, C: formed, D: hard)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Stool frequency [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    Assessed by daily parental reporting.

  2. Stool amount and stool colour [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    Assessed by the parents in a continuous daily bowel diary over the study period using the Amsterdam Infant Stool Scale (AISS). Stool amount will be assessed on a 4-point scale (1: smear, 2: up to 25%, 3: 25.50%, 4: >50%, relative to diaper surface). Stool colour will be assessed on a 6-point scale (I: yellow, II: orange, III: green, IV: brown, V: meconium, VI: clay-coloured)

  3. Treatment success [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    ROME IV criteria still met at the end of the intervention.

  4. Faecal microbiota [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    Stool samples will be analyzed by appropriate molecular biological methods like 16S rRNA gene sequencing to gain insight into the composition of the gut microbiota. Furthermore, metabolites like SCFA and other organic acids will be measured with appropriate chromatographic methods.

  5. Faecal Short Chain Fatty Acids concentration [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    Change in Short Chain Fatty Acids over a four week period.

  6. Faecal pH [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    Change in faecal pH over a four week period.
