About this study

Official title: An 8 Week, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Crossover Clinical Trial of Allium Hookeri Root Extract on Anti-diabetic Effects

The researchers investigated the anti-diabetic effects of Allium hookeri root extract for Korean prediabetic participants.

Read the detailed description

Allium hookeri root is widely consumed as a vegetable and herbal medicine in Asia. Although the antidiabetic activities of Allium hookeri have been documented in animal studies, the improved effects of Allium hookeri on human are not clear. Therefore, in this study, the researchers investigated whether Allium hookeri root extract could be effective in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes in individuals with prediabetes.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Changes of blood glucose during OGTT (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 NCT03330366, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
