About this study
Official title: Short Term Cardiovascular Effects of Zingiber Officinale as add-on Therapy in a Population of Type 2 Diabetes Individuals
The aim of the study was the evaluation of cardiovascular benefits of Zingiber officinale Roscoe in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus before and after 6 weeks of add-on therapy.
Read the detailed description
the investigators performed a non-randomized single-arm clinical trial with a before and after design, carried out from December 2016 and May 2017.
Intervention consisted of the administration of powdered ginger extracts in the form of capsules at a dose of 2g/day, for a period of 6 weeks. Before and after intervention, the following were done by the participants: bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), blood pressure measurements, fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, lipid profiles, liver function tests, kidney function tests and full blood counts. These were followed by morphological workup including Electrocardiograms (ECGs), transthoracic heart ultrasounds and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurements (ABPM), also done before and after intervention.
Clinical evaluation with fasting blood sugar control and blood pressure controls were done at day 21 for safety purposes.

GINOFF1Dietary supplement
The intervention lasted for six weeks and consisted of the administration of powdered ginger extracts in the form of capsules at a dose of 2g/day.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Non-randomized single-arm of GINOFF1 | Experimental | Non-randomized single-arm clinical trial with a before and after design. The study population consisted on all type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with a target population of T2DM patients with HbA1c between 42 to 64mmol/mol (6-8%) with no change in anti-diabetic treatment during the last three months, previous the study.
The intervention consisted on the administration of Zingiber officinale Roscoe extracts, at a daily dose of 2g/day (equivalent overall daily dose of extract in simple powdered form) for a period of 6weeks. The extracts were given as capsules, either one capsule three times per day (1 capsule x 3 / day) and after meals. Each capsule contains 399mg of pure Zingiber officinale Roscoe extracts.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing GINOFF1 in people with Cardiovascular Benefits of Zingiber Officinale Roscoe in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Before and After 6 Weeks of add-on Therapy, run by Yaounde Central Hospital at 1 site in Cameroon.
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 3 inclusion and 7 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 10 Jan 2020. 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 Cameroon. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
Variation of mitral E' velocity (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 NCT04222738, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 10 Jan 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
