About this study

Official title: Effect of Dihydromirycetin Administration on Glycemic Control, Insulin Sensitivity and Insulin Secretion in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Dihydromyricetin has demonstrated promising effects in glycemic control, insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion, that above mentioned findings show that dihydromyricetin has an excellent potential effect in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Read the detailed description

A double-blind, randomized clinical trial of three pharmacological groups in 36 patients with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus in accordance with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) without treatment.

They will be assigned randomly two groups of 12 patients, each one will receive dihydromyricetin 300 mg or metformin 850 mg, two times per day before having break-fast and before having dinner during 12 weeks.

The Area Under the Curve of glucose and insulin will be calculated, total insulin secretion (Insulinogenic index), first-phase of insulin secretion (Stumvoll index) and insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index).

This protocol is already approved by the local ethics committee and written informed consent it's going to be obtained from all volunteers.

Statistical analysis will be presented through measures of central tendency and dispersion, average and deviation standard for quantitative variables; frequencies and percentages for variable qualitative. Qualitative variables will be analyzed by X2, will be used for differences inter-group Mann-Whitney U Test and Wilcoxon Test for the within-groups differences. It will be considered statistical significance p ≤0.05.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  6. First phase of insulin secretion

    The first phase of insulin secretion will be calculated at baseline and week 12 with Stumvoll index and the entered values reflect the first phase of insulin secretion at week 12.

  1. Waist Circumference

    Waist circumference will be evaluated at baseline and at week 12 with a flexible tape.

  3. Body Mass Index

    Body Mas Index will be calculated at baseline, week 4, week 8 and week 12 with the Quetelet index formula and the entered values reflect the body mass index at week 12.

    Measured: Baseline, week 4, week 8 and week 12

  4. C reactive protein

    C reactive protein will be evaluated at baseline and week 12 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the entered values reflect the creatinine levels at week 12

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  5. Interleukin 6

    Interleukin 6 will be evaluated at the beginning and during week 12 using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the values entered reflect creatinine levels at week 12

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  6. Total Cholesterol

    Total cholesterol levels will be evaluated at baseline and week 12 by enzymatic/colorimetric techniques and the entered values reflect the total cholesterol level at week 12

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  7. Triglycerides levels

    Triglycerides levels will be evaluated at baseline and week 12 with enzymatic/colorimetric techniques and the entered values reflect the triglycerides level at week 12

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  8. High Density Lipoprotein (c-HDL) levels

    c-HDL levels will be evaluated at baseline and week 12 with enzymatic/colorimetric techniques and the entered values reflect the c-HDL level at week 12

    Measured: Basline to Week 12

  9. Low Density Lipoproteins (c-LDL) levels

    c-LDL levels will be evaluated at baseline and week 12 with enzymatic/colorimetric techniques and the entered values reflect the c-LDL level at week 12

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  10. Creatinine levels

    Creatinine levels will be evaluated at baseline and week 12 with enzymatic/colorimetric techniques

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dihydromyricetin and Metformin in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Guadalajara at 1 site in 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 4 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2023. 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 Mexico. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Fasting glucose (time frame: Baseline to Week 12). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 May 2023.
