Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
An interventional double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) design will be used in this study. Forty patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the placebo group (n=20) to receive 3 times a day placebo capsules; and probiotics group (n=20), to receive 3 times a day probiotic supplement. The demographic data, anthropometric measurements, IBD Quality of Life Questionnaire and blood samples will be collected at baseline and after 6 weeks of follow up. Interleukin-6, interleukin-1,interleukin-10 IL-10, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and complete blood count (CBC) will be measured.
The results will approve or disapprove the beneficial effect of using probiotics as adjuvant therapy for UC patients to raise the immune system as well as improving their quality of life.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
For the participants, the Jordan University Hospital setting will be utilized for data collection. The patients will be recruited over 12 months and all patients will be asked to sign a written informed consent before enrollment. The patients will randomly be assigned to the placebo group (n=20), to receive 3 times a day placebo capsules contain polysaccharides, without any viable probiotics matching the probiotic capsules in appearance, smell, and taste; and probiotics group (n=20), to receive 3 times a day probiotic supplement. The administration of supplements will be under the supervision of the treating physician. The blood sample will be collected at baseline and at the end of 6 weeks of follow up.
The demographic data of each subject will be collected such as; gender, age, body mass index (BMI), tumor location, malignant tumors stage, tumor differentiation, educational level, occupation, family history, smoking, dietary and physical activity. At baseline and end of the follow-up, IBD Quality of Life Questionnaire will be collected and blood sample tests will be withdrawn and the following biochemical variables will be measured: immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M, immunoglobulin A, interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-1(IL-1), interleukin-10(IL-10), interleukin-12 (IL-12), Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and complete blood count (CBC).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Probiotic Formula Capsule
In this intervention arm, the patients will receive oral viable capsules of probiotic contain (1\*10 10 colony-forming unit (CFU)/g) of lactobacillus (Lactobacillus rhamnosus , Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus plantarum) and bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis) species three times a per day
Probiotic Formula Capsule
The Probiotic will be coded in a specific label by a researcher who will not be in contact with the participants and administrated randomly based on gender in a double-blind manner. The patient will receive 2 bottles of the drug every 2 weeks and will be followed weekly for 6 weeks.
Placebos
In this intervention arm Placebo arm received three oral viable capsules daily, containing polysaccharides, without any viable probiotics matching the probiotic capsules in appearance, smell, and taste.
Placebos
The Placebos will be coded in a specific label by a researcher who will not be in contact with the participants and administrated randomly based on gender in a double-blind manner. The patient will receive 2 bottles of the placebo every 2 weeks and will be followed weekly for 6 weeks.
