About this study

Official title: Control of Glycemic Variability Using a Polyherbal: A Randomized Placebo Controlled Study of Whole Herb Formulations

The aim of the study is to get insight into control of glycemic variability with Sugar Balance capsules which is the leaves of three herbs: ivy ground (Coccinia indica)-200mg, bougainvillia (Bougainvillea spectabilis)-30mg, Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus rosea)-20mg.

Read the detailed description

The glycemic variability would be obtained at 14 days with the usage of Flash glucose monitoring system manufactured by Abbott and outcomes would be compared at the end of ambulatory glucose profile.

Being tested
Polyherbal capsule coccinia, bougainvillea, catharanthus, Placebo
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Polyherbal capsule coccinia, bougainvillea, catharanthusDrug

    Also called Sugar Balance (SB)

    A unique combination of 3 herbs that lower blood sugars

  • PlaceboDrug

    Similar looking inactive powder

Study groups in NCT03143803

PlaceboPlacebo comparatorPlacebo will contain an inert substance
Receives: Drug: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean amplitude glycemic excursion

    To demonstrate that the difference in mean amplitude glycemic excursions among patients receiving polyherbal medication will be less than 1mmol/dL or 18mg/dL for a sampling frequency: 1 every 15 minutes over 14 days

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean estimated glycated hemoglobin

    Mean estimated glycated hemoglobin difference between test and placebo control group

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Number of hypoglycemia episodes

    Number of hypoglycemia episodes and duration of hypoglycemia in treatment group

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Polyherbal capsule coccinia, bougainvillea, catharanthus in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Composite Interceptive Med Science at 1 site in India.

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

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Sep 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 India. 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?

Mean amplitude glycemic excursion (time frame: 14 days). 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 5 Sep 2017.
