Protocol summary

Study aim
To determine the effect of combination therapy with insulin and synbiotic on platelet indices in children with type 1 diabetes
Design
Clinical trial with control group, parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 76 patients. SAS software version 9 will be used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
In this randomized, double-blind, clinical trial (blinding for participants and the researcher) we investigate the effect of KidiLact supplement (produced by Zist-Takhmir Company - Iran) on platelet indices in 4-18 years-old children with type 1 diabetes referring to endocrinology clinic of 17 Shahrivar Hospital in Rasht. In this study, for 12 weeks, in addition to the main treatment (injectable insulin), the intervention group is given 1 sachet of synbiotic and the control group is given 1 sachet of placebo, daily. At the beginning and the end of the intervention, 5cc blood samples are taken from the participants to evaluate and compare biochemical factors.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Children 4-18 years; Being treated with injectable insulin; Having type 1 diabetes Non-inclusion criteria: Taking antibiotics, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), immunosuppressants during the last month; Taking products containing probiotics and synbiotics in the last month; Metabolic disease; Gastrointestinal disease; Cardiovascular disease (CVD); Renal disease
Intervention groups
Daily, the intervention group takes 1 sachet of KidiLact supplement (product of Zist-Takhmir Company - Iran) for 12 weeks. The control group also takes 1 sachet of placebo (product of Zist-Takhmir Company - Iran) daily for 12 weeks.
Main outcome variables
Blood Platelet Count (PLT); Platelet Percentage (PCT); Mean Platelet Volume (MPV); Platelet Distribution Width (PDW)

Randomization description
To randomize the treatment between two groups, Permuted Block Randomization Method with the Size 4, will be used. Considering the time of patients entry into the study and that A is (Intervention group) and B is (Control group), A Part of the Random Allocation will be as follows: Randomization is done with SAS software version 9. Seed: 253569775886591 Block sizes: 4 Actual list length: 76 block identifier, block size, sequence within block, treatment • 1, 4, 1, Group B • 1, 4, 2, Group A • 1, 4, 3, Group B • 1, 4, 4, Group A • 2, 4, 1, Group B • 2, 4, 2, Group A • 2, 4, 3, Group B • 2, 4, 4, Group A Groups assignment will be performed by the closed envelopes. The researcher registers the participants and the statistician determines the allocation sequence using the relevant softwares.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this double-blind, randomized, clinical trial, blinding will be performed for the researcher (outcome assessor) and the participants. The researcher (outcome assessor) doesn't know which participant is in the intervention or control group and the participants don't know which group they are in.
