Impaired Fasting Glucose

This observational study aims to understand the metabolic characteristics and long-term changes in adults with prediabetes and to identify risk and protective factors associated with progression to diabetes or return to normal glucose regulation. The study will include adults aged 20 to 69 years with prediabetes. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Which clinical characteristics, lifestyle factors, social and environmental factors, and genetic factors are associated with progression or improvement of prediabetes? How do blood glucose levels, pancreatic islet function, and other metabolic indicators change over time in people with prediabetes? Participants will complete questionnaires about their health status and lifestyle at baseline and during follow-up. According to the study schedule, they will also undergo blood glucose and other metabolic assessments, including an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Some participants will undergo additional assessments, such as body composition analysis, liver elasticity measurement, and arterial stiffness testing. Blood, urine, and other biological samples may also be collected for further research. Participants will be followed over time to assess changes in glucose metabolism and lifestyle. Researchers will evaluate factors associated with return to normal glucose regulation, persistent prediabetes, or progression to diabetes. The findings may help improve early identification and personalized management of people at high risk of developing diabetes.

Prediabetes affects millions of adults worldwide and carries a high risk of progression to type 2 diabetes. Mazdutide is a once-weekly injectable drug that activates both GLP-1 and glucagon receptors, lowering blood sugar and body weight simultaneously. This study (DREAM-PRE) tests whether mazdutide can help adults with prediabetes return to normal blood sugar levels. Approximately 150 adults aged 18-75 years with prediabetes and BMI ≥22 kg/m² will be randomly assigned in equal numbers to one of three groups: mazdutide 4 mg once weekly, mazdutide 6 mg once weekly, or placebo once weekly. All participants also receive standardized diet and exercise guidance throughout the study. Treatment lasts 24 weeks, followed by 24 weeks of off-drug follow-up to see whether any benefits are maintained. The main question is: what proportion of participants achieve completely normal blood sugar (normal HbA1c, fasting glucose, AND glucose tolerance test) after 24 weeks of treatment? The study is conducted at approximately 10 hospitals across China.
