About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Aromatase Inhibition Potential of Standardized Grape Extract

RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Studying samples of blood and urine in the laboratory from participants receiving freeze-dried table grape powder may help doctors understand the effect of this drug on blood estrogen levels.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the effect of freeze-dried table grape powder on blood estrogen levels in postmenopausal women.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To measure the change in levels of plasma estrone (E1), estradiol, E1-conjugates, and E1-sulfates in postmenopausal women after 6 weeks of daily ingestion of 94 grams of freeze-dried table grape powder.
  • To conduct bioavailability research on the freeze-dried table grape powder in humans through the analysis of participants' blood and urine samples.

OUTLINE: Participants receive oral freeze-dried table grape powder once daily on days 1-42 in addition to their usual diet. Treatment continues in the absence of toxicity.

Participants undergo blood sample collection at baseline, periodically after the first dose, and on the last day of the study for pharmacokinetic and bioavailability analysis. Samples are examined by mass spectrometry to measure plasma levels of estrone (E1), estradiol, E1-conjugates, E1-sulfates, testosterone, and androstenedione. Participants also undergo spot urine collection and weight and height measurement periodically during study.

Participants complete food diaries on days 1-3, 21-23, and 40-42 to assess their intake of grapes, grape juice, and red wine and to examine the constancy of their caloric intake over the course of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum levels of plasma estrone (E1), estradiol, E1-conjugates, and E1-sulfates. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Sep 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
