Meu-cinn for Gastric Mucosal Health in Adults With Functional Dyspepsia

Effects of Meu-cinn on Promoting Gastric Mucosal Health in Adults With Functional Dyspepsia: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial

This clinical trial aims to determine whether Meu-cinn promotes gastric mucosal health in adults with functional dyspepsia and to assess its safety.

The main questions are:

• Does Meu-cinn promote gastric mucosal health in participants?
• What side effects occur when participants take Meu-cinn?

Researchers will compare Meu-cinn to placebo to evaluate their effectiveness in promoting gastric mucosal health.

Participants will:

• Take Meu-cinn or a placebo daily for 8 weeks.
• Visit the clinic at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks for checkups and tests.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Rome IV-based functional dyspepsia-

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with gastrointestinal symptoms requiring immediate drug treatment.
• Individuals with a history of hypersecretory gastric disorders like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
• Individuals who received Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy within 4 weeks prior to the trial.
• Individuals who have taken nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, antibiotics, aspirin, antithrombotic agents, or acid suppressants within the last month.
• Individuals with a history of upper gastrointestinal surgery, stricture, bleeding, or procedures like esophageal dilation or mucosal resection within the last year.
• Individuals with gastric ulcers (active or healing), duodenal ulcers (active or healing), reflux esophagitis (LA grade A or higher), or malignant tumors identified within the last 6 months through endoscopy.
• Patients with uncontrolled hypertension (resting BP ≥160/100 mmHg).
• Patients with uncontrolled diabetes (fasting glucose ≥160 mg/dL).
• Individuals with creatinine levels ≥ 2 times the upper limit of normal at the research institution.
• Individuals with aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase levels ≥ 2 times the upper limit of normal at the research institution.
