An observational study in Lactose Intolerant, Lactose Malabsorption and Lactose Intolerance, sponsored by European Institute of Oncology. Recruiting at 1 site in Italy. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-14.
Sponsored by European Institute of Oncology · Observational
Lactose intolerance (LI) is considered the clinical syndrome caused by lactose malabsorption (LM).
It is possible to identify four causes of lactase deficiency defining four different types of LM: primary (genetic), secondary (acquired), congenital (alactasia), and developmental (in premature infants, so reversible).
The aim of this protocol is to investigate through an anonymous online survey the knowledge of the Italian population on clinical, pathophysiological, diagnostic and therapeutic issues of lactose intolerance. Data collected will be divulgated through a publication for both people with IL and nutritionists, enriched with tables and flow charts, to improve the knowledge on lactose intolerance and to support people suffering from this condition. The results of this survey will guide subjects suspected of suffering from lactose intolerance towards a correct diagnosis and a better management.
53 studies on the registry are indexed under Lactose Intolerance; 6 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 385 is above the median of 70 across 11 observational studies indexed under Lactose Intolerance.
