About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial to Assess Efficacy and Tolerability of an Herb and Mineral Combination Product on Fasting Glucose in Adults at Risk for Developing Diabetes

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in approximately 104 subjects (52 per group) to evaluate the effectiveness of an herb and mineral combination product on fasting serum glucose levels in subjects with impaired fasting glucose. The study consists of 5 visits: a Screening visit, followed by a Baseline visit (at which eligible subjects will be randomized to product to consume throughout the 12-week supplementation period), followed by Supplementation period visits at 3, 6 and 12 weeks after baseline.

Read the detailed description

The target population of this clinical trial is otherwise healthy, pre-diabetic adults who present with impaired fasting glucose.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from Baseline in fasting blood glucose

    Fasting glucose will be measured on serum samples obtained at screening (to be used as baseline value) and at day 84

    Measured: Day 84

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change from Baseline in fasting serum glucose

    Fasting glucose will be measured on serum samples obtained at screening (to be used as baseline value) and at day 42

    Measured: Day 42

  2. Change from Baseline in fasting blood glucose

    Fasting glucose will be measured on serum samples obtained at screening (to be used as baseline value) and at day 21

    Measured: Day 21

  3. Change from Baseline in HbA1c

    Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) will be measured on whole blood samples obtained at screening and at day 84.

    Measured: Day 84

  4. Change from Baseline in fasting lipids

    Total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides will be measured on serum samples obtained at screening and at day 84 using a standard lipid panel.

    Measured: Day 84

  5. Change from Baseline in fasting lipids

    Total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides will be measured on serum samples obtained at screening and at day 42 using a standard lipid panel.

    Measured: Day 42

  6. Change from Baseline in fasting lipids

    Total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides will be measured on serum samples obtained at screening and at day 21 using a standard lipid panel.

    Measured: Day 21

  7. Change from Baseline in BMI

    Body mass index

    Measured: Day 84

  8. Change from Baseline in waist-to-hip ratio

    Measured: Day 84

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing herb and mineral combination product in people with Prediabetes, run by NewChapter, Inc. at 6 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from Baseline in fasting blood glucose (time frame: Day 84). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Oct 2015.
