About this study

To evaluate the effect of oral administration of herbarium mixture Guazuma ulmifolia (GU) and Tecoma stans (TS) on metabolic profile in type 2 diabetic patients.

Read the detailed description

A randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, clinical trial was carried out 40 type 2 diabetic patients independently of their basal hypoglycemic treatment. At beginning and at end of the study, BMI, waist circumference, a metabolic profile (fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipids and biosecurity profile), were measured. The patients were randomly assigned to receive the herbarium mixture (GU/TS) 1 g before each meal, or placebo for a period of 90 days. All patients received therapy medical nutrition.

The patient was on a 12-hour fast.

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Modification in HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes after of administration of combination with Guazuma ulmifolia and Tecoma stans

    In both groups (intervention and placebo ) of 20 patients each , all patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, HbA1c was measured in %, before and after the administration of the combination guazuma ulmifolia (313.6 mg) and tecoma stans (86.4 mg), one capsule before each food for a period of 90 days. The patient was on a 12-hour fast.

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in lipid profile in patients with type 2 diabetes after of administration of combination with Guazuma ulmifolia and Tecoma stans

    In both groups (intervention and placebo ) of 20 patients each , all patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, lipid profile was measured in mg/dL, before and after the administration of the combination guazuma ulmifolia (313.6 mg) and tecoma stans (86.4 mg), one capsule before each food for a period of 90 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Guazuma Ulmifolia plus Tecoma Stans and Calcinaned magnesia in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud, Mexico.

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 8 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 18 Oct 2017. 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.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Modification in fasting glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes after of administration of combination with Guazuma ulmifolia and Tecoma stans (time frame: 90 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03313856, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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 18 Oct 2017.
