WPMDE1 - Whey Protein Milk-Derived Exosomes Among Healthy Subjects
brief summary
This phase 1, single-center, open-label study aims to evaluate the tolerability and usability of WPMDE1, a whey protein milk-derived exosome (EV) nutritional supplement, in healthy adults. The study will assess dose tolerability and determine the appropriate dosage for future studies targeting patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
detailed description
WPMDE1 is a nutritional supplement derived from cow's milk using a novel production process designed to preserve extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their biological functions. This single-arm, unblinded trial will explore the effects of ascending doses of WPMDE1 on tolerability and usability in up to 30 healthy adults aged 18-60. Participants will be divided into five groups to test incremental doses over 7-30 days.
The study includes blood sampling, vital sign measurements, and daily symptom tracking via validated gastrointestinal symptom questionnaires. The outcomes will inform the design of future clinical trials targeting IBS and IBD patients. The trial will be conducted at Hadassah University Hospital.
