Evaluation of Benefit and Tolerability of IQP-CL-101 (Xanthofen) in the Symptomatic Improvement of Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Double-Blinded, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial
Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder of unknown aetiology. There is currently no known cure, and pharmacological interventions are usually targeting symptomatic relief, where natural and herbal remedies also play a role. This study aimed to evaluate the benefit and tolerability of IQP‐CL‐101 in symptomatic IBS relief. A double‐blinded, randomised, placebo‐controlled trial was conducted over 8 weeks. A total of 99 subjects fulfilling ROME‐III criteria for IBS were randomised into two groups, given either two IQP‐CL‐101 softgels or matching placebo twice daily before main meals. The primary endpoint was the difference in change of IBS Symptom Severity Score (IBS‐SSS) after an 8‐week intake of IQP‐CL‐101 compared to placebo. After 8 weeks, subjects on IQP‐CL‐101 showed a significant reduction in IBS‐SSS (113.0 ± 64.9‐point reduction) compared to subjects on placebo (38.7 ± 64.5‐point reduction) ( p < 0.001). A significant improvement could be seen as early as 4 weeks. No serious adverse events were reported throughout. IQP‐CL‐101 can be considered beneficial in the improvement of IBS symptom severity, regardless of IBS type, and therefore able to improve quality of life in patients suffering from abdominal pain and discomfort. © 2017 The Authors.

“It also appears safe and well-tolerated, with no adverse events reported in the available trials.”
From A Meta-Analysis of the Clinical Use of Curcumin for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) (2018) · cites this paper as [26]
In the citing paper
“Of the five clinical trials reviewed, three reported positive and significant effects for curcumin-containing products [24,26,28], while two [25,27] found no significant effects compared to placebo and advised against monotherapy with curcumin.”

In the citing paper
“Current studies ranged from only 8 to 18 weeks [24,25,26,28].”

In the citing paper
“Furthermore, curcumin was mixed with at least one other therapeutic or potentially therapeutic material in two of the trials analysed [26,28], hence, it is difficult to quantify a curcumin-attributable SMD and determine whether the therapeutic benefits observed in these two studies were due to curcumin.”

In the citing paper
“Second, inter-study variability in terms of curcumin formulation (even combined with peppermint oil, a known antispasmodic [44], in one study [26]) and the diagnosis of IBS likely contributed to the overall heterogeneity of the meta-analysis, and could have affected the reliability of current findings.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
