About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Exploratory Study to Assess the Effect of a Once Daily Administration of a Plant-based Hydrolysates in the Reduction of Hb1A) Levels in Pre-diabetic Volunteers.

This study evaluates the effect in HbA1c levels of a once daily administration of plant-based hydrolysates in pre-diabetic, but otherwise healthy volunteers. Among the 63 subjects enrolled, 21 will receive a plant-based hydrolysates from one cereal, 21 will receive a plant-based hydrolysates from another cereal and 21 will receive a placebo.

Read the detailed description

Pre-clinical data on human skeletal muscle cells and mouse Type 2 diabetes model have shown a blood glucose lowering effect of the plant-based hydrolysates.

The first objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of a once daily administration of 2 different cereal protein hydrolysates versus placebo, when consumed over a 12-week period, at reducing the preferred outcome measure identified by the European Food Safety Authority i.e. glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in pre-diabetic volunteers who are otherwise healthy subjects.

The second objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of a fixed daily administration of 2 different cereal protein hydrolysates versus placebo, when consumed over a 12-week period on further supportive measures like Post-prandial glucose/insulin levels, fructosamine level, fasting plasma glucose level, vital signs and blood pressure, weight and BMI.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 12 weeks daily administration Cereal 1Dietary supplement

    The subjects will come to a visit every 4 weeks for a total period of 12 weeks. At the first, the second and the third visit the subjects will be supplied with a 5-week supply of product.

    The subjects will come to a visit every 4 weeks for a total period of 12 weeks. At the first, the second and the third visit the subjects will be supplied with a 5-week supply of product.

    Each daily administration will be supplied in a sachet. Subjects will be instructed to mix the contents of the sachet with 200mL of water and drink the solution within 5 minutes after preparation.

    The daily dose administrated is 15 grams.

  • 12 weeks daily administration PlaceboOther

    The subjects will come to a visit every 4 weeks for a total period of 12 weeks. At the first, the second and the third visit the subjects will be supplied with a 5-week supply of placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of the treatment on reduction of the HbA1c level (%)

    Evaluate the effect of a once daily administration of the cereal 1 or cereal 2 protein hydrolysate versus placebo, when consumed over a 12-week period, at reducing the HbA1c level (%).

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Effect of the treatment on evolution of another parameter related to pre-diabetic condition: post-prandial glucose level

    Evaluate the effect of a once daily administration of the cereal 1 or cereal 2 protein hydrolysate versus placebo, when consumed over a 12-week period, at reducing the post-prandial glucose level (mmol/L).

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Effect of the treatment on evolution of another parameter related to pre-diabetic condition: post-prandial insulin level

    Evaluate the effect of a once daily administration of the cereal 1 or cereal 2 protein hydrolysate versus placebo, when consumed over a 12-week period, at modifying the post-prandial insulin level (microU/mL).

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Effect of the treatment on evolution of another parameter related to pre-diabetic condition: fructosamine level

    Evaluate the effect of a once daily administration of the cereal 1 or cereal 2 protein hydrolysate versus placebo, when consumed over a 12-week period, at modifying the fructosamine level (microU/mL).

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Effect of the treatment on evolution of the subject weight

    Evaluate the effect of a once daily administration of the cereal 1 or cereal 2 protein hydrolysate versus placebo, when consumed over a 12-week period, at reducing the weight (kg).

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 12 weeks daily administration Cereal 1 and 12 weeks daily administration Cereal 2 in people with Pre-diabetes, run by Onorach Clinical Ltd at 2 sites in Latvia.

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 8 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 4 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Latvia. 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?

Effect of the treatment on reduction of the HbA1c level (%) (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 4 Nov 2019.
