Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The first prospective randomised placebo-controlled study in the IBD pediatric population was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of oral sodium butyrate as add-on therapy in IBD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Butyric acid's effectiveness has not yet been assessed in the pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) population. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of oral sodium butyrate as an add-on to standard therapy in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed IBD.

This was a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled multicentre study. Patients aged 6-18 years with colonic Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, who received standard therapy depending on the disease's severity, were randomized to receive 150 mg sodium butyrate twice a day (group A) or placebo (group B). The primary outcome was the difference in disease activity and fecal calprotectin concentration between the two study groups measured at 12 weeks of the study.
