Clinical trial
Limosilactobacillus Fermentum CRL 1446 - CONICET CASASCO
Active, not recruiting · Not applicable · 1 countries · Registry ID NCT07530575
What this study is about
This research study aims to determine if a probiotic called Limosilactobacillus fermentum CRL 1446 can improve the health of people at risk for cardiovascular disease. The study will be conducted with volunteers who will randomly consume either the probiotic or a placebo (a capsule without the probiotic), without knowing which one they are taking. The researchers will analyze how the probiotic affects blood sugar control, body composition, inflammation, and oxidative stress. The goal is to determine if this beneficial bacterium, by influencing the gut microbiota, could be a new strategy to prevent or mitigate chronic heart diseases.

Treatments and study arms
Limosilactobacillus fermentum 1446 CRL CONICET 2.20E+9 CFU
Acute phase: After randomization of the groups, patients will be instructed to take one capsule daily of Limosilactobacillus fermentum 1446 CRL CONICET 2.20E + 9 CFU (colony-forming units) with their main meal for 30 days. After a 15-day medication-free period, the groups will be crossed over and undergo another 30-day intervention. Following this phase, the acute intervention will be repeated with two capsules daily. Chronic phase: After randomization of the groups, patients will be instructed to take one capsule daily of Limosilactobacillus fermentum 1446 CRL CONICET 2.20E + 9 CFU with their main meal for 90 days. After a 15-day drug washout period, the groups will be crossed over, and patients who received a placebo will undergo a 90-day intervention with one daily capsule of Limosilactobacillus fermentum 1446 CRL CONICET 2.20E + 9 CFU with their main meal. Following this phase, the chronic intervention will be repeated with two capsules daily.
Placebo (inert excipient)
Acute phase: After the initial randomization, patients will be instructed to take one placebo capsule (inert excipient) daily with their main meal for 30 days. After a 15-day break, the intervention will be repeated with the arms crossed. Once the initial intervention is completed, the acute intervention will be repeated with two capsules daily. Chronic phase: After the initial randomization, patients will be instructed to take one placebo capsule (inert excipient) daily with their main meal for 90 days. After a 15-day break, the intervention will be repeated with the arms crossed. Once the initial intervention is completed, the chronic intervention will be repeated with two capsules daily.
Primary outcomes
The researchers propose to thoroughly evaluate the effects on gastrointestinal well-being, glucose metabolism and redox metabolism (oxidative stress, endogenous antioxidant defenses and chronic inflammation) in participants with cardiovascular risk factors, with the aim of determining the impact of the Limosilactobacillus fermentum CRL 1446 CONICET strain on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
