Clinical Study ID

NCT06789263
BTS2127/24
  • Ages 18-70
  • All Genders
  • Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Study Summary

Aim of the study is to investigate the postprandial response on blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, incretin response and gastric emptying after intake of collagen hydrolysate compared to placebo in normoglycemic and in prediabetic participants. This will be investigated in a cross-over randomized double-blind placebo controlled study design.

In an exploratory part II, timing of intake of collagen hydrolysate in relation to the mixed meal will be investigated in a subgroup of 50% of the participants.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Prediabetic subjects: Male and female subjects with prediabetic HbA1c values between 5.7% and 6.4% and/or fasting glucose ≥ 100 mg/dL and ≤ 125 mg/dL (in venous plasma) (twice confirmed at two independent days if HbA1c is < 5.7%) or Healthynormoglycemic subjects: fasting glucose <100 mg/dL and HbA1c is < 5.7%

  • Age: 18-70 years

  • Body mass index 19-35 kg/m2

  • Current Non-smoker

  • Signed informed consent form

  • No changes in food habits or physical activity 3 months prior to screening andduring the study

  • If applicable, stable intake of chronic medication of at least 4 weeks

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes mellitus with medical treatment

  • Presence of disease or drug(s) influencing digestion (incl. recent intake ofantibiotics) and absorption of nutrients

  • Intake of medications known to affect glucose tolerance, e.g., diabetic medication,SGLT-2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, steroids, protease inhibitors orantipsychotics

  • Chronic intake of substances affecting blood coagulation (e.g. acetylic acid (100 mgas standard prophylactic treatment allowed when dose is stable 1 month prior toscreening), anticoagulants, diuretics, thiazides (diuretics and thiazides allowede.g. for hypertension treatment when dose is stable 1 month prior to screening),which in the Investigator's opinion would impact patient safety

  • Severe liver or renal disease or laboratory evidence of hepatic dysfunction (i.e.alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST >3 x ULN)

  • Known inflammatory or malignant gastrointestinal diseases (i.e. colitis ulcerosa,Morbus Crohn, celiac disease, malignant diseases e.g. colon-cancer, rectum cancer,pancreatitis)

  • Subjects who use an implanted or portable electro-mechanical medical device such asa cardiac pacemaker or infusion pump.

  • Planned MRI during or 4 weeks after the study.

  • Subjects overweighed with abdominal diameter >140 cm

  • Clinically relevant findings as established by medical history, physicalexamination, clinical laboratory and/or vital signs

  • Major medical or surgical event requiring hospitalization within the previous 3months

  • Intake of food supplements known to affect glucose tolerance, e.g., cinnamoncapsules, conjugated linoleic acids

  • Drug-, alcohol- and medication abuses

  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women

  • Weight loss intervention or recent body weight change >5 kg during the last 3 months

  • Blood donation within 4 weeks prior to Screeningor plan to donate blood during thestudy

  • Anticipating any planned changes in lifestyle for the duration of the study

  • Participation in another clinical intervention study within the last 4 weeks andconcurrent participation in another intervention clinical study

  • Subjects considered inappropriate for the study by investigators, including subjectswho are unable or unwilling to show compliance with the protocol
