Trial summary

Adverse events due to drug-drug and/or herb-drug interactions are of serious concern and a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Resveratrol is a polyphenol antioxidant that has been identified in over 70 species and is suggested to be the constituent in red wine responsible for cardioprotective effects.

About this study

Adverse events due to drug-drug and/or herb-drug interactions are of serious concern and a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Resveratrol is a polyphenol antioxidant that has been identified in over 70 species and is suggested to be the constituent in red wine responsible for cardioprotective effects. The potential health benefits of resveratrol supplements are highly extolled in the alternative medicine industry and daily doses are up to 5 grams are being studied. While there are potential health benefits of high doses of resveratrol, for patients taking other drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, such as transplant medications, chemotherapies and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, there may be a clinically significant herb-drug interaction.

We, the investigators, have shown in vitro that resveratrol is a mechanism-based inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Based on our in vitro evidence and literature reports of the pharmacokinetics of resveratrol, we hypothesize that resveratrol will be a potent in vivo mechanism-based inhibitor of intestinal CYP3A4 enzymes. To date, there are no clinical studies that address the potential for a resveratrol-drug interaction. We propose to test whether single and multiple doses of resveratrol alter the pharmacokinetics of midazolam, a prototypic CYP3A4 probe drug.

Study groups in NCT01173640
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Midazolam AloneExperimentalBaseline pharmacokinetics. On Study Visit Day 1, subjects will receive a single oral dose of midazolam (2 mg). Blood and urine will be collected to measure midazolam and its metabolites, and resveratrol and its metabolites.
Receives: Drug: Midazolam
Single dose resveratrolExperimentalOn Study Visit Day 8, subjects will receive a 1 g oral dose of resveratrol followed 2 hours later by a single oral dose of midazolam (2 mg). Blood and urine will be collected to measure midazolam and its metabolites, and resveratrol and its metabolites.
Receives: Drug: Midazolam; Dietary Supplement: resveratrol (single dose)
Multiple dose resveratrolExperimentalBetween Study Visit Days 8 and 15, subjects will take a 1 g dose of resveratrol daily. On Study Visit Day 15, subjects will receive a 1 g oral dose of resveratrol followed 2 hours later by a single oral dose of midazolam (2 mg). Blood and urine will be collected to measure midazolam and its metabolites, and resveratrol and its metabolites.
Receives: Drug: Midazolam; Dietary Supplement: resveratrol (multiple dose)

What is being measured

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

  1. Inhibition of midazolam clearance

    The primary aim will be to determine if resveratrol causes inhibition of intestinal and hepatic CYP3A4 enzymes as determined by oral midazolam clearance following single and multiple doses of resveratrol, respectively.

    Measured: 3 study visit days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Resveratrol accumulation

    Secondary aims will be to measure circulating levels of resveratrol and its conjugated metabolites following single and multiple doses of resveratrol and to determine resveratrol accumulation in low density lipoproteins (LDL).

    Measured: 3 study visit days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Midazolam, resveratrol (single dose) and resveratrol (multiple dose) in people with Healthy, run by University of Washington 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 8 inclusion and 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 2017. 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?

Inhibition of midazolam clearance (time frame: 3 study visit days). 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 31 Oct 2017.
