  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All subjects are with prediabetes (IFG or IGT) or newly diagnosed type 2 DM (T2DM) no taking medicine. IFG was defined as fasting glucose between 100 and 125 mg/dL and IGT was defined as 2-h OGTTs glucose levels 140-199 mg/dL. Newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes was defined as fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dL or 2-h OGTTs level ≥ 200 mg/dL.

Who cannot join

  • Exclusion criteria included 1) glucose lowering medications or insulin injections; 2) abnormal liver or renal function; 3) chronic stomach and intestines disease; 4) chronic alcoholism; 5) pregnancy or intending to become pregnant during time of study. 6) complications; 7) an occupation that could be dangerous if hypoglycemia should occur.

About this study

In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, subjects with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to the placebo control group or the test (Arginyl-fructose: AF) group. We determined fasting serum levels of glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), insulin, and free fatty acids (FFAs), were measured by 2-h oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) at baseline and after the 6-week intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Arginyl-fructose in people with Pre-diabetes, run by Yonsei University.

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

2-h oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs (time frame: 6 week). 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 NCT02285231, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
