About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Ice Plant (Mesembryanthemum Crystallinum) Extract in Patients With Impaired Fasting Glucose: a Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study

The investigators will conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects and tolerability of ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) extract in patients with impaired fasting glucose for 12 weeks.

Read the detailed description

A previous animal study has indicated that ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) extract (IPE) has a substantial effect on attenuating hyperglycemia and modulating gut microbiota composition in diabetic rats. Therefore, IPE might be a promising functional food for the prevention of diabetes. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of IPE in patients with impaired fasting glucose for 12 weeks; the safety of the compound is also evaluated. The Investigators examine 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (120 minute glucose), 75-g OGTT incremental Area Under the Curve 0-120min, 75-g OGTT (0, 30, 60, 90 minute glucose), fasting insulin, Homeostasis Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance, Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index, HbA1c, lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention. One hundred adults were administered either 2,000 mg of IPE or a placebo each day for 12 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ice plant group in people with Impaired Fasting Glucose, run by Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 19 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 Jan 2024. 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 South Korea. 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?

75-g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (120 minute glucose) (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 18 Jan 2024.
