Investigation of Milk Peptides (Pep2Dia®) on Postprandial Blood Glucose Profile in Prediabetic Subjects

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Prediabetic State
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Pep2dia
Dietary Supplement: maltodextrin
Registration Number
NCT04375449
Lead Sponsor
Ingredia S.A.
Brief Summary

The goal is to investigate the 180 min postprandial response on blood glucose and insulin levels after intake of Pep2Dia® in two different dosages compared to placebo in the context of a meal challenge test, providing 75 g of carbohydrates. Pep2Dia® will be administered 15 min prior to a standardized challenge meal.

Detailed Description

From a previous pilot study (BTS1130/17) there is first evidence that the native whey product with alpha-glucosidase inhibiting properties (Pep2Dia®) has the potential to modulate postprandial hyperglycaemia in prediabetic subjects.

Thereby, incremental areas under the curve (iAUC) of glucose as the primary outcome were significantly reduced by a single dosage of 1400 mg Pep2Dia® compared to placebo the second study is to investigate the 180 min postprandial response on blood glucose and insulin levels after intake of Pep2Dia® in two different dosages compared to placebo in the context of a meal challenge test, providing 75 g of carbohydrates. Pep2Dia® will be administered 15 min prior to a standardized challenge meal. Furthermore, the 120 min postprandial incretin response in terms of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) will be determined. Changes in insulin sensitivity will be determined by the Matsuda-index as appropriate outcome measure.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Male and female subjects (minimum one third of each gender) with prediabetic HbA1c values between 5.7% - 6.4% and/or fasting glucose ≥ 5.6 mmol/L (≥ 100 mg/dL) and < 7.0 mmol/L (< 125 mg/dL) (in venous plasma) (twice confirmed at two independent days if HbA1c is < 5.7%)
  • Body mass index 19-35 kg/m2
  • Non-smoker
  • Caucasian
  • Availability and presence in the study units for approx. 3.5 hours/ week for 3 times.
  • Signed informed consent form
  • No changes in food habits or physical activity 3 months prior to screening and during the study
Exclusion Criteria
  • Presence of disease or drug(s) influencing digestion and absorption of nutrients or bowel habits
  • Intake of medications known to affect glucose tolerance, e.g., diabetic medication, steroids, protease inhibitors or antipsychotics
  • Diagnosed Typ 2-Diabetics with medical treatment
  • Chronic intake of substances affecting blood coagulation (e.g. acetylic acid (100 mg as standard prophylactic treatment allowed when dose is stable 1 month prior to screening), anticoagulants, diuretics, thiazides (diuretics and thiazides allowed e.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, renal or cardiac disease
  • Acute gastrointestinal diseases including diarrhea and/or vomiting within the last 2 weeks

  • Known HIV-infection
  • Known acute or chronic hepatitis B and C infection
  • Blood donation within 4 weeks prior to visit 1 or during the study
  • Subject unable to co-operate adequately
