Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
An extract of Dahlia spp. will be given at 3 different dosages on one occasion per dose, and an oral glucose tolerance test performed with each dosage. The doses will be 0.5, 1 and 2 mg/m2 given as capsules. All participants will receive all three doses with a one week washout period. The doses will be administered by a research nurse.
Intervention code [1] 299404 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
Each patient will act as their own control, as this is a first in human trial, with an OGTT first with no intervention administered.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Three doses are being tested, the order of dose administration will be randomised. The number of capsules will be consistent each time, with the rest of the dose being made up with dummy capsules.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The generation of dose randomisation will be computer generated.
Masking / blinding

Statistical methods / analysis
The main outcomes are area under the curve (AUC) for glucose and insulin during the OGTT, using the trapezoidal method, and insulin sensitivity using the Matsuda index. The pre-specified contrasts are between baseline and dose 1, baseline and dose 2, baseline and dose 3 as well as dose 1 and dose 2, dose 2 and dose 3 and dose 1 and dose3. Other outcomes are change in glucose, insulin and insulin sensitivity measured by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) between T0 and 60 mins following each dose.

Summary
Brief summary
Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) affects around 7% of the adult NZ population. 25% have prediabetes. Obesity is a risk factor for T2DM. One potential mechanism is due to the proinflammatory cytokines released from adipose tissue. In mice high fat diets result in obesity and loss of sensitivity to insulin. It has been demonstrated that purified plant
metabolites from Dahlia spp. as well as the plant extract significantly improve glucose homeostasis in high fat diet diabetic mice. This study is a First in Human study of the effect of these compounds on humans.
Twenty male participants aged 18-65 with prediabetes (HbA1c 4149
mmol/mol) will be recruited for this study.
Each participant will receive three different doses (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/m2) of a Dahlia spp. extract.
The study will look at glucose handling following the ingestion of the extract and compare this to glucose handling without exposure to these using an oral glucose tolerance test.
