A study on MOTS-c for improving insulin sensitivity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests an investigational peptide (MOTS-c) to see if it can improve how your body uses insulin. It's for adults with prediabetes and excess weight who are not yet on diabetes medications and can maintain a stable diet and activity level for 12 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 27 and 40.
- You have prediabetes, confirmed by a blood test at screening.
- Your weight has been stable (less than 5% change) for the past 3 months.
- You are willing to keep the same diet and activity level for 12 weeks.

This study tracks how blood sugar levels change in people with prediabetes (higher-than-normal blood sugar but not yet diabetes). Researchers will use a small sensor to monitor your blood sugar and help understand what affects it, which could help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
This study tests whether a Mediterranean diet can help people with prediabetes improve their blood sugar levels. You'll follow a specific meal plan for a period of time and have your blood sugar and other health markers checked.
This study tests how your body responds to insulin by using a special test called a pancreatic clamp. It may help researchers understand insulin resistance better and find new ways to treat it.
This trial tests whether following a Mediterranean diet and doing cycling and rowing exercise can help lower blood sugar in women with prediabetes. It may help you find a safe way to prevent or delay diabetes.
This study tests a new medication to see if it can improve how your body responds to insulin and boost your cells' energy (mitochondrial function). It is for adults with type 1 diabetes who are already on insulin and have good overall health.
This study tests if adding a non-insulin medication can lower the amount of insulin needed while improving heart and metabolic health in people with type 1 diabetes. It may also help understand how this approach works in people with a genetic form of diabetes (GCK-MODY).
