  • All Genders

Study Summary

Infants often experience functional gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., colic, excessive gas, regurgitation, constipation, or loose stools) that distress families and may reflect an imbalance of the gut microbiome. This study evaluates whether the multistrain probiotic BioAmicus Complete can improve caregiver-reported gastrointestinal symptoms in infants 0-24 months and is safe for use in this population.

The primary assessment is the change in the Infant Gastrointestinal Symptom Questionnaire (IGSQ) total score from the start to the end of the study period. Secondary assessments include symptom domains (colic/regurgitation, stool frequency and consistency), caregiver quality of life, growth parameters (weight and length), health care utilization and antibiotic exposure, and overall safety/tolerability (adverse events and serious adverse events). Stool samples will be analyzed to explore changes in the gut microbiome.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 0-24 months at enrollment.

  • Infant has clinician-assessed functional gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g.,colic/irritability, regurgitation, constipation, loose stools), judged suitable forstudy participation.

  • Parent or legal guardian provides written informed consent and agrees to comply withstudy procedures (questionnaires/diaries and sample collection, if applicable).

  • Caregivers agree to avoid other probiotic products during the study period, exceptas directed by the study team.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Major congenital gastrointestinal anomalies or known chronic gastrointestinaldiseases requiring ongoing prescription therapy (e.g., Hirschsprung disease,inflammatory bowel disease, short-bowel syndrome).

  • Clinically unstable condition or severe/critical illness that could interfere withparticipation or safety in the opinion of the investigator.

  • Known or suspected primary or secondary immunodeficiency, or currentimmunosuppressive therapy.

  • History of severe allergy or hypersensitivity to components of the investigationalproduct.

  • Recent use of systemic antibiotics within 14 days prior to baseline, or use ofprobiotic supplements within 14 days prior to baseline (per protocol).

  • Participation in another interventional clinical trial within 30 days prior toenrollment or during the study.

  • Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would make the participantunsuitable for the study or confound outcome assessments.

Study Description

caregiver burden and health care visits. Modulating the developing gut microbiome with probiotics may alleviate these symptoms. BioAmicus Complete is a multistrain probiotic designed to support a healthy intestinal microbiota; systematic clinical evaluation is warranted to determine its efficacy and safety in infants.

Objectives:

Primary: Determine whether BioAmicus Complete improves overall gastrointestinal symptoms versus usual care, measured by change in IGSQ total score between baseline and study end.

Exploratory (microbiome): Characterize changes in stool microbiome composition and diversity across the study period.

Secondary: Compare groups on symptom domain scores (e.g., colic, regurgitation, stooling patterns), caregiver burden/quality of life, health care utilization and antibiotic exposure, growth parameters, and safety outcomes (adverse events, serious adverse events, and product-related events).

Significance: Findings will inform whether BioAmicus Complete can be recommended as an adjunct to routine care for infant functional gastrointestinal symptoms and will provide preliminary insights into microbiome changes associated with symptom improvement.
