NDPP-Flex Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new diabetes prevention program (NDPP-Flex) to see if it's better than the standard program at improving blood sugar levels, reducing diabetes risk, and helping people lose weight. The study will enroll 200 adults with prediabetes who are normal weight or overweight/obese.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with prediabetes, indicated by an A1C level of 5.7-6.4%, who are patients at Denver Health and have a BMI ≥20 kg/m2 (or ≥18.5 kg/m2 if Asian). It's not open to those who've done NDPP before, take diabetes medication like metformin, are pregnant, or have been diagnosed with diabetes.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares NDPP-Flex—a modified version of the National Diabetes Prevention Program—with the standard program to see which is better at improving blood sugar levels and helping more people reach normal blood sugar levels.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves lifestyle interventions rather than medications, typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience fatigue or muscle soreness from increased physical activity.

NDPP-Flex Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: NDPP-FlexExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
NDPP-Flex. The primary difference between NDPP-Flex and the standard NDPP is the approach to goal setting. In NDPP-Flex, coaches use the latest CDC-published curriculum, but adapted such that participants are encouraged to 1) set attainable, individually-tailored goals for risk-reduction, 2) adjust goals over time as needed, and 3) avoid all-or-nothing assessments of goal attainment. At each session, coaches provide a goal setting worksheet (see excerpt) with a simple, fillable format to better accommodate low literacy (e.g., "I will limit my soda and sugary drinks to __ per day").
Group II: National Diabetes Prevention ProgramActive Control1 Intervention
The Diabetes Prevention Program was a successful clinical trial demonstrating that intensive lifestyle support for weight loss reduced diabetes incidence by 58%. The intervention was translated into the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) and disseminated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a yearlong group-based program since 2012.
