About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of probiotics ADR-1/GMNL-263 capsules (Lactobacillus reuteri ADR-1/ Lactobacillus reuteri GMNL-263) for the treatment of adults with type2 DM.

Read the detailed description

Background:Based on animal studies, intake of probiotic bacteria was suggested to improve insulin sensitivity by reducing inflammation.

Objective : The objective of this study was to determine the effects of supplementation with the probiotic strain Lactobacillus reuteri ADR-1(ADR-1) and Lactobacillus reuteri GMNL-263 (GMNL-263) over six months on metabolic profiles, intestinal microbiota profiles and biomarkers of inflammation in type 2 diabetes patents. Methods : This randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed on 120 diabetic patients. Subjects were divided into 3 groups: 40 subjects in the group A received placebo, 40 subjects in the group B received ADR-1 (4 x 109 colony-forming units/d), and 40 subjects in the group C received GMNL-263. (2 x 1010 cells/d) for 6 months. Fasting blood samples were taken at baseline and after intervention to measure metabolic profiles and biomarkers of inflammation including C reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and Tumor necrosis factor-alpha( TNF-α). The intestinal microbiota profiles were detected in stool samples by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in blood sugar

    Fasting blood samples of 120 diabetic patients will be were taken at baseline and after intervention to measure blood sugar(mg/dL) and HbA1c(%).

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Change in blood fat

    Fasting blood samples of 120 diabetic patients will be were taken at baseline and after intervention to measure cholesterol(mg/dL) ,triglycerides(TG, mg/dl), high density lipoprotein (HDL, mg/dl), low density lipoprotein (LDL, mg/dl).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in the DM marker

    Fasting blood samples of 120 diabetic patients will be were taken at baseline and after intervention to measure insulin(μIU/mL), C-peptide(ng/mL), Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, ratio)

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ADR-1 and GMNL-263 in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by GenMont Biotech Incorporation at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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 12 Oct 2017. 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 Taiwan. 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?

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?

Change in blood sugar (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Oct 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
