Brief Summary

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

Clinical proof-of-concept study, comparing the acute immune impacts of 3 doses of a probiotic strain to a placebo. This study involves twenty-four participants, composed of healthy adults, who will be taking a placebo and 3 different doses of the probiotic at different times. Testing for immune status and cytokine levels will be conducted to determine the acute impact of the probiotic on immune function when compared to a placebo.

Detailed Description

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

Clinical proof-of-concept study comparing the acute immune effects of 3 doses of a probiotic compared to a placebo. The probiotic strain is characterized as Bacillus coagulans JBI-YZ6.3 (BC4U).

24 subjects will participate in a placebo-controlled, escalating dose, cross-over study design, wherein they will be taking placebo, dose 1, dose 2, and dose 3, each separated by a 1-week washout period.

Blood samples are taken 1 hour after participants arrive; the dose is then administered. Samples are taken 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours following administration.

A series of immune panels will be used to determine the acute impacts on immune surveillance, immune cell activation status, immune cell priming, and cytokine profiles.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Group A

Crossover study: Participants will be consuming placebo on the first clinic visit, a low dose of the probiotic on the second clinic visit, a medium dose of the probiotic on the third clinic visit, and a high dose of the probiotic on the fourth clinic visit. Each clinic visit is separated by at least 1 week wash-out period.
