Feasibility and Preliminary Effects of Fasting-Mimicking Diet in Asian Americans With Prediabetes
NCT06518798 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This is a pilot study to determine the feasibility of studying the Fasting-Mimicking Diet (FMD), a dietary approach that involves the consumption of a specifically formulated, calorie-restricted nutrition regimen with a customized macronutrient composition, ratio, and quantity over a 5- day period, on a larger scale in Asian Americans with prediabetes and to examine the preliminary effects of the diet in study participants. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. What are the recruitment, adherence, and attrition rates of eligible participants into the study? 2. Does one FMD cycle result in changes in fasting blood glucose levels and physical measurements in study participants? Participants will be asked to undergo one cycle of FMD (for 5 days), fill out surveys, and come in for a pre-FMD and post-FMD study visit, during which physical measurements and fasting blood glucose and ketone levels will be measured.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06518798
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06518798 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 30 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of California, Irvine, which has 353 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Prediabetes appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Fasting Mimicking Diet is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06518798 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
