Can exercise and a B3 supplement help cancer survivors fight prediabetes?

NCT ID NCT05023993

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study looks at whether a home exercise program plus a dietary supplement called nicotinamide riboside (similar to vitamin B3) can improve muscle health and insulin resistance in adult survivors of childhood cancer who have prediabetes. The study will enroll 20 people and mainly checks if the program is practical and doable. If successful, it may lead to larger studies on managing metabolic health in this group.

What this could lead to

If this small pilot works, it could point toward a way to help childhood cancer survivors manage prediabetes and improve muscle health.
