Finding the right dose of Berbevis for prediabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new medicine called Berbevis in people with prediabetes (blood sugar that is higher than normal but not yet diabetes). Researchers want to find the right dose and see if it helps lower blood sugar. If you have prediabetes and are overweight, this could be a way to try a new treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your fasting blood sugar (measured after an overnight fast) must be between 100 and 126 — that's the prediabetes range.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be between 25 and 35, which is considered overweight to moderately obese.
- You cannot be taking certain medications or have conditions that affect blood sugar — the study team will review this.
- You must be willing to visit the study site in the Pavia area of Italy for check-ins.

This trial tests whether a food supplement can help people with prediabetes (higher than normal blood sugar) improve their blood sugar levels. It may be an option if you are overweight but not obese and have not been diagnosed with diabetes.
This study looks at adults with prediabetes—specifically abnormal fasting and/or 2-hour blood sugar tests—to see whether a treatment helps improve sugar control. You may also be compared with people who have normal blood sugar (the control group).
This study tests if a berberine-based supplement can help regulate blood sugar and metabolism in people who are overweight and have slightly elevated blood sugar (prediabetes). Participants will take the supplement and maintain their normal lifestyle.
This study tests a supplement called dihydroberberine (DHB) to see if it helps improve blood sugar control, appetite, and mood in adults with prediabetes. You will wear a small sensor to track your blood sugar and use a phone app to record what you eat.
This study tests a natural herbal product (from a plant called Bletilla formosana) to see if it can help lower blood sugar in people with prediabetes. It looks at how safe it is and what dose works best.
This study tests whether a new medication called chiglitazar sodium, combined with a lifestyle program, can help reverse prediabetes (when blood sugar is high but not yet diabetes). It could help you lower your blood sugar and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
