About this study

Official title: Phase 4 Study on the Effect of Insulin Resistance With Traditional Chinese Treatment in Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Traditional Chinese Treatment(TCT) on insulin sensitivity and other related factors in type 2 diabetes by using an double-blind, randomized, parallel control and prospective study This traditional compound Chinese herb preparation is referred to this study, with three kinds of plants: 50 mg of Coptis Chinensis, 30 mg of Astragalus mambranesceus and 120 mg of Lonicera Japonica, all of which are selected by The Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences among those traditionally considered effective and safe in the treatment of diabetes.

Patients enrolled were randomized into TCT group and placebo group administrated with TCT and placebo respectively. Glucose disposal rate (GDR), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), postprandial plasma glucose (PPG), HbA1C and other metabolic components were assessed at baseline and end point

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Coptis Chinensis, Astragalus mambranesceus, Lonicera Japonica (Traditional Chinese Treatment) in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 11 Dec 2008. 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 China. 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 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?

Glucose Disposal Rate. 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 11 Dec 2008.
