Low Fat vs High Fat Diet for Prediabetes

Québec, Quebec
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common liver diseases, affecting 25% to 30% of the global population and nearly one third of the population in North America. NAFLD is defined as an excessive accumulation of lipids within hepatocytes in the absence of significant alcohol consumption or other causes of chronic liver disease. These patients usually present with hepatic steatosis observed on imaging studies and elevated liver enzymes with clinical features of insulin resistance (IR), including pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and visceral obesity. The minimum criterion for a histologic diagnosis of NAFLD is \>5 percent steatotic hepatocytes in a liver tissue section. The exact mechanism for the development of NAFLD is unclear, although the current evidence indicates that it is likely a complex interplay among neurohormones, intestinal dysbiosis, nutrition, and genetics. IR plays a crucial role in NAFLD pathophysiology mainly by increasing adipocyte lipolysis, resulting in the circulation of more free fatty acids available for hepatic uptake and increasing hepatic de novo lipogenesis. There is yet no approved pharmacologic option for the treatment of NAFLD. Current international guidelines on NAFLD emphasize the importance of lifestyle modifications for all patients with NAFLD and recommend 7-10% of weight loss and a "healthy diet", without suggesting any particular diet. Recent data provide some support for the beneficial role of low carbohydrate (CHO)/high unsaturated fatty acid (both monounsaturated (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated (PUFAs)) dietary patterns for decreasing hepatic steatosis. This proposal addresses this important research gap by leading to advances regarding the impact of a short-term low CHO/high PUFAs/MUFAs dietary intervention on improving hepatic gene expression profiles and lipid composition in individuals with pre-diabetes. The proposed study is unique because all meals and foods will be provided to participants under carefully controlled isocaloric conditions to maintain a constant bodyweight with optimal energy and macronutrient intake control. The primary objective of the proposed research is to investigate how replacement of dietary CHOs by unsaturated fatty acids (both PUFAs and MUFAs) affects liver fat composition and liver transcriptomics in subjects with pre-diabetes.

Ketogenic vs Low Fat Diet for Type 2 Diabetes Prevention

Albuquerque, New Mexico
KDDP is a prospective, 12-month pilot study comparing the effects of a novel lifestyle program, the Ketogenic Diet and Diabetes Demonstration Project (KDDP) to those of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDDP). KDDP is modeled to mimic the delivery platform of NDPP with the exception that participants in KDDP will be placed on a medically-supervised ketogenic diet, and participants in NDPP will be placed on a low fat diet. The purpose of this study is to compare the metabolic effects of the KDDP and the NDPP on glycemic control, lipid parameters, blood pressure, heart rate, weight, and coronary artery calcium scores in individuals with either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

ADHD PatientAge: 31

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Ketogenic vs Low Fat Diet for Type 2 Diabetes Prevention and Low Fat vs High Fat Diet for Prediabetes to the Power online platform.
