About this study

Official title: Long-term Investigation of Resveratrol on Management of Metabolic Syndrome, Osteoporosis and Inflammation, and Identification of Plant Derived Anti-inflammatory Compounds

The aim of this study is to investigate potential metabolic effects of resveratrol in men with metabolic syndrome(otherwise healthy).

The investigators hypothesize that resveratrol has an anti-inflammatory effect, and will increase insulin sensitivity, change the fat- and sugar-metabolism, and down-regulate bone-turnover.

Read the detailed description

The study will be done in a collaboration between two PhD students, who focus on effects in adipose- and muscle- tissue, and bone tissue respectively.

The investigators will look at changes in

  • inflammation-markers
  • biochemical markers of fat- and sugar-metabolism
  • gene-expression in fat- and muscle-tissue
  • body composition (DXA (whole body) and MR spectroscopy)
  • biochemical markers of bone-metabolism
  • Bone Mineral Density (DXA scans)
  • bone structure (QCT)
  • gene-expression and cytokines in bone marrow

Some of the volunteers will have their insulin sensitivity measured.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resveratrol in people with Obesity and Inflammation, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 13 Dec 2013. 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 Denmark. 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.

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?

Changes from Baseline in markers of inflammation (hs-CRP) in blood after 4 months of treatment with either resveratrol or placebo (time frame: 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01412645, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 13 Dec 2013.
