- W2210275433 abstract "Background and Aims: VSL#3 is a high potency probiotic mixture containing eight bacterial strains. Recent data demonstrates that VSL#3 is able to induce and maintain remission of ulcerative colitis (Danese & Fiocchi NEJM, 2011;365:1713-25). However, the role of this agent in pediatric Crohn disease (CD) has not yet been evaluated. The primary aim of this study was to assess the role of VSL#3 in the induction of remission of children with active CD: secondary end-points were clinical response, weight z scores and haematological parameters. Methods: A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study was conducted in two Australian pediatric centres. Children with active CD (based upon Pediatric Crohn disease activity Index (PCDAI) scores) and aged between 4 and 18 years were recruited. Participants were randomised to receive a 3 month period of active probiotic followed by 3 months of placebo (or in the reverse order), with a one month washout between each arm. Standard dose of VSL#3 was 1,800 billion organisms daily, with adjustment for age. Outcomes included PCDAI scores, serum and faecal inflammatory markers and growth parameters. Results: Seventeen children completed the study and were available for evaluation. The mean PCDAI scores at enrolment were 22.3 ± 7 (ranging from 15 to 40).At the start of month 4, just five children had PCDAI scores greater than 15. Four children in both groups had response (PCDAI fell by 12.5 or more) or entered remission (PCDAI <15). In the subset with active disease at the start of probiotic therapy (whether at month 0 or 4), PCDAI scores fell from 24.6 ± 9 to 12 ± 11.2 (p=0.007). Serum albumin levels increased during treatment with probiotics (2 ± 2.4 g/l) but fell with placebo (0.8 ± 2.7 g/l): p=0.024). Weight z scores also improved by 0.15 ± 0.08 with probiotic treatment but fell by 0.14 ±0.06 in the placebo group (p=0.025). Conclusions: VSL#3 therapy in children with active CD has a significant beneficial effect upon disease activity, along with improvements in weight and albumin. Considering the importance of disease control and nutrition in the management of children with CD, further studies of this probiotic agent in larger groups of children are justified." @default.
