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

  • glucose lowering medications or insulin injections;
  • abnormal liver or renal function;

About this study

The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to determine whether jerusalem artichoke and fermented soybeans powder mixture is effective in the control of blood glucose level in subjects with prediabetes or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of jerusalem artichoke and fermented soybean powder mixture supplementation on blood glucose. A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 60 subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. The subjects were randomly assigned to either a group ingesting 40 g jerusalem artichoke and fermented soybean powder mixture supplementation daily or a placebo group for 12-week. We assessed fasting and postprandial levels of glucose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing jerusalem artichoke and fermented soybeans powder mixture in people with Prediabetes and Newly Diagnosed Type 2 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 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 23 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 level by 2-h oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) (time frame: 12 week). 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 23 Jul 2015.
