About this study

Official title: Effect of the Administration of Chlorogenic Acid on Glucemic Control, Insulin Secretion and Insulin Sensitivity in Patients With Impaired Glucose Tolerance

Chlorogenic acid has demonstrated promising effects in the treatment of glycemic control, obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin secretion, among others. The above mentioned findings show that Chlorogenic acid has an excellent potential for the control of glucose as well as insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.

Read the detailed description

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was carried out in 30 patients with a diagnosis of impaired glucose tolerance in accordance with the American Diabetes Association criteria. The patients received 400 mg capsules of Chlorogenic acid or placebo, three times daily 1/ 2 hour before meals for 90 days. Before and after intervention the investigators evaluated: 2 hours plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin (A1C), triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, fasting glucose and blood pressure body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, very-low-density lipoprotein, creatinine, aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase.

Were calculated: Areas under the curve of glucose and insulin were calculated with de Trapezoidal formula. Total insulin secretion was evaluated with the Insulinogenic index and the insulin sensitivity was estimated using the Matsuda index.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Chlorogenic acid in people with Impaired Glucose Tolerance, run by University of Guadalajara at 1 site in Mexico.

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 6 inclusion and 12 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 2 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) (time frame: Week 12.). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02621060, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 2 Aug 2019.
