About this study

Official title: Mangosteen Effects on Inflammatory Markers in Atrial Fibrillation Trial

This study is being done to see if the addition of mangosteen juice to standard medical care will reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence following direct current (DC) cardioversion. The study will also look at the effects the mangosteen juice may have on biomarkers of inflammation and endothelial cell dysfunction (the tissue lining the arteries does not function properly).

Read the detailed description

Mangosteen Effects on Inflammatory Markers in Atrial Fibrillation Trial is a study designed to test the primary hypothesis that a dietary supplement (Mangosteen) containing anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties may effect the measured levels of inflammatory biomarkers. Secondarily, this study will compare the attenuation of markers of endothelial cell dysfunction including endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), clinical levels of anticoagulation (INR), digoxin, lipids, and glycosylated hemoglobin (Hgb A1c), quality of life measurements, AF recurrences, and associated levels of inflammatory markers with those experiencing recurrent AF between the mangosteen group and the placebo group.

This trial will randomize 250 patients presenting to the Mayo Clinic Cardioversion Unit over one year to two groups including a mangosteen supplemented group versus a control group with placebo juice. Patients will be enrolled who have a history of paroxysmal, persistent, or longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation and excluded if they have a history of recent surgery, myocardial infarction, infection, collagen vascular disease with active inflammation, or thyroid disease. Furthermore, patients already on corticosteroids will be excluded. Patients will be evaluated at enrollment and followed at 3 months and 6 months with repeat ECG, laboratory testing of inflammatory biomarkers and endothelial function, as well as quality of life questions.

The trial will track the effect of natural juices containing anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties on inflammatory markers, endothelial progenitor cells, and quality of life. This trial will attempt to determine if any dietary supplement effects to inflammatory markers correlate with the rate of recurrent AF in each of the two groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • mangosteen juiceDrug

    Also called Xango juice

    6 ounces of juice containing mangosteen taken twice daily, AM and PM, for 6 months duration of study participation.

  • placebo juiceDrug

    6 ounces of specially prepared juice not containing mangosteen taken twice daily, AM and PM, for 6 months duration of the study participation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Test the hypothesis that the addition of mangosteen juice as a dietary supplement may reduce the measured levels of inflammatory biomarkers interleukin 1, interleukin 6, C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF a) etc).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. attenuation of markers of endothelial cell dysfunction including endothelial progenitor cell (EPCs).

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Clinical levels of anticoagulation (INR), digoxin, CBC, lipids, and glycosylated hemoglobin (Hgb A1c).

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Quality of life

    Measured: 6 months

  4. AF recurrence rates between the mangosteen group and the placebo group

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Associated levels of inflammatory markers with those experiencing recurrent AF

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing mangosteen juice in people with Atrial Fibrillation, 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?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Mar 2016. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Significantly lower accrual rate than anticipated, time constraints.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Test the hypothesis that the addition of mangosteen juice as a dietary supplement may reduce the measured levels of inflammatory biomarkers interleukin 1, interleukin 6, C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF a) etc). (time frame: 6 months). 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 16 Mar 2016.
