Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Two-Period Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effect of BKR-013 on Average Daily Glucose Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of BKR-013 on average daily glucose (ADG)
levels in type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects during 28 days of either placebo or active test
product administration. Subjects will serve as their own controls in this crossover design,
and ADG will be compared while a subject is on active test product versus while they received
placebo test product.
levels in type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects during 28 days of either placebo or active test
product administration. Subjects will serve as their own controls in this crossover design,
and ADG will be compared while a subject is on active test product versus while they received
placebo test product.
The study consists of a screening period followed by a 28-day treatment period, a 3 to 5 week
washout period, and a second treatment period. All subjects receive both active test product
and placebo, but the order in which they receive them (Part 1 or Part 2 of the study) is
randomized in this single crossover study. Fourteen subjects will be randomized to ensure
that 10 subjects complete both Part 1 and Part 2 of the study.
There are a total of 7 study visits including screening. In Part 1, Visits 2, 3 and 4 occur 2
weeks apart; in Part 2, Visits 5, 6 and 7 also occur 2 weeks apart. Visits 4 and 7 are
overnight visits during which time hunger and satiety will be assessed and a Mixed Meal
Tolerance Test (MMTT) will be performed after an overnight fast. The MMTT requires use of an
indwelling IV catheter so that 11 blood draws can be more comfortably obtained over a period
of 4 hours.
Subjects will be required to wear a glucose monitoring sensor during Part 1 and Part 2 of the
study in order to obtain ADG levels.
Routine chemistry and hematology tests are done at 4 timepoints during the study. An ECG and
physical exam is performed at screening.
A rapid HbA1c will only be tested at screening; if the value is between 6.5% and 10.5%, all
other screening procedures will be performed; if the HbA1c value is not within the qualifying
range, the subject will be considered a screen failure and no other screening procedures will
be performed.
Subjects are required to keep a daily diary to document dosing (twice daily), medication
changes and any adverse events.
Safety tests include chemistry/hematology, vital signs and adverse events.
Subjects with type 2 diabetes must be under the care of a healthcare professional to take
part in this study. The test product BKR-013 is not designed to treat diabetes; it is being
evaluated as a non-prescription medical food for nutritional use in managing glucose levels.

4. Has given written informed consent to participate in this study
5. Agrees to comply with all study requirements, including maintaining current diet and
exercise routine and current prescription medications for the duration of the study
6. Willing to wear a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensor continuously for 28 days
during each of the two test periods
7. Willing to complete two 28-day test periods (separated by a wash-out period of 21 to
35 days) and participate in the study for a total duration of up to 18 weeks.
Exclusion Criteria:

diverticulitis, gastroparesis, or chronic/frequent diarrhea or chronic/frequent
constipation
4. Active and clinically significant hepatic, pancreatic disease, or renal disease as
determined by the investigator
5. History of significant heart disease, including congestive heart failure, prior MI,
chronic atrial or ventricular fibrillation, coronary artery disease, cerebral vascular
disease or other cardiovascular disease, that in the opinion of the investigator
should exclude the subject from the study
6. Severely uncontrolled hypertension at screening defined as a systolic blood pressure >
180 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure > 110 mmHg on the average of two seated
measurements after being at rest for at least 5 minutes
