Purpose

A phase 2a trial randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial to determine whether NMN administration improves DKD, as indicated by a significantly greater reduction in UACR compared with placebo administration. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either 1000 mg NMN or placebo twice daily.

Masking
Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Masking Description
The study is double-blind in that the study participants and the study staff involved in outcomes assessments will be unaware of the intervention assignment. The randomization schedule will be masked from all study personnel except those specifically designated below. 1. The unblinded study biostatistician 2. The staff of the Investigational Drug Pharmacy Services. 3. The DSMB, if requested

Arm Groups

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Active Comparator
Investigational Product - MIB 626
The MIB-626 will be a GMP-grade microcrystalline solid NMN mixed with inert excipients (including microcrystalline cellulose) and compressed into tablets at a dose strength of 500 mg per tablet, enabling administration of the 1,000 mg twice daily using two tablets taken twice daily.
  • Drug: Investigational Product - MIB 626
    The eligible participants will be assigned to receive either NMN or placebo using concealed block randomization in a 1:1 ratio, stratified by sex (male, female), age (60 to 75, >75 years) and trial site. The randomization list will be generated by the unblinded biostatistician using the software R (www.r-project.org), and deployed in a secure, centralized web-based application accessible to study staff following confirmation of a participant's eligibility.

Detailed Description

This will be two centers, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial to determine whether βNMN, after its daily oral administration, is associated with a greater reduction in the UACR compared to placebo. The trial will enroll community-dwelling older adults, 60 years or older, with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and urine albumin to creatinine excretion ratio > 100 mg/ g creatinine.
