Table 1.

Recorded and complete clinical trials using A. muciniphila administration.

Clinical trial registry number Type of study Target disease Administered A. muciniphila preparation Protocol of administration Main results References
NCT02637115 Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study Overweight/obese insulin-resistant volunteers 1010 A. muciniphila either live or pasteurized, frozen in glycerol Daily oral supplementation for 3 months Improved insulin sensitivity and reduced plasma total cholesterol, fat mass, plasma GTT, AST, LPS, LDH, and creatine kinase (48)
A. muciniphila counteracted the plasma decrease in 1-PG and 2-PG, endogenous activators of PPARα that may underlie part of the beneficial metabolic effects induced by A. muciniphila (49)
NCT03893422 Randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, double-blind study Adults with T2D WBF-011: mixed in capsules, which contained inulin, Akkermansia muciniphila, Clostridium beijerinckii, C. butyricum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Anaerobutyricum hallii Three capsules two times a day within 30 min of morning and evening meals, for 12 weeks Decrease in total glucose and improvement in glycated hemoglobin (50)
Increase in circulating butyrate or ursodeoxycholate, evidencing the need for strategies directed to the microbiome to control T2D (51)

GTT, γ-glutamyltransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; LPS, lipopolysaccharide, LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; 1-PG, 1-palmitoyl-glycerol; 2-PG, 2-palmitoyl-glycerol; PPARα, peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor alpha.
