About this study

Official title: Effect of Mulberry Leaf Extract on Blood Glucose in Subjects With Impaired Fasting Glucose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of mulberry leaf extract on blood glucose in subjects with impaired fasting glucose.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of mulberry leaf extract on blood glucose in subjects with impaired fasting glucose. After 2 weeks run-in period for wash-out, subjects will randomly assigned to two groups, i.e. control group (placebo) or mulberry leaf extract group. They will intake placebo or mulberry leaf extract for 4 weeks. Biomarkers will be analyzed in blood samples in 0 and 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mulberry leaf extract in people with Prediabetic State, run by Ewha Womans University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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 28 Oct 2011. 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 South Korea. 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?

Blood glucose change with meal tolerance test (time frame: 0wk). 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 28 Oct 2011.
