Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The primary endpoint will be the intergroup difference in the cumulative number of Good Health Days (GHD) during the intervention period in adults aged 20 to 79 years who consumed Lactobacillus brevis-containing food for 12 weeks. Secondary endpoints include symptom duration, blood cytokines, immune phenotypes assessed by CyTOF/multicolor flow cytometry, and quality of life (QOL).

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Cumulative Days of GHD (Good Health Days) During the 12-Week Intervention

Cumulative Days
1) Definition of GHD: Counted as GHD=1 when the daily self-rated health status in the eDiary is "0 (Very Good)" or "1 (Good)" and none of the following symptoms (malaise, chills, fever, fatigue, headache, runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, cough, sore throat, joint pain, muscle pain) are present.
2) Calculation: Cumulative GHD days over 12 weeks of intervention. Cumulative GHD during the 7-day run-in period is included as a covariate in the statistical model.
3) Recording Quality/Missing Data: Weekly recording rate <80% is considered a potential outlier. The primary analysis uses multiple imputation (MAR) for missing data, with best-case and worst-case sensitivity analyses performed.

Key secondary outcomes

1. Duration of Symptoms: Number of days experiencing systemic symptoms (malaise, chills, fever, fatigue) and local symptoms (headache, runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, cough, sore throat, joint pain, muscle pain)
2. Primary and Secondary Immunological Parameters (Pre-selected, up to 5 items): 1) IFN-gamma concentration, 2) IL-6 concentration, 3) XCL10 (IP-10) concentration, 4) CD4+ Treg ratio, 5) CD8+ TEMRA ratio
3. Exploratory Immune Parameters: Blood cytokines (comprehensive panel including FLT3LG, CSF3, VEGFA), CyTOF or multicolor flow cytometry for T B NK gamma-delta T monocyte DC granulocyte subsets and activity or senescence markers (CD28, CD57, CD38, HLA-DR, etc.)
4. QOL or Fatigue: Fatigue VAS, Dartmouth COOP, SF-36
5. Mucosal immunity: Upper respiratory symptom diary
