About this study

Rationale:

Epidemiological studies have shown that consumption of alcoholic beverages, red wine in particular, is associated with less cardiovascular mortality. In addition, there are reported beneficial effects of red wine on components of the metabolic syndrome, arguably the most menacing cardiometabolic condition facing us due to the unfolding obesity epidemic. Beneficial effects have also been reported with other polyphenol-rich food stuff, such as cocoa and green tea and points to a beneficial effect which does not seem to be dependent on the alcohol content of red wine. Experimental studies with mixed or separate Red Wine Polyphenols (RWPs) (i.e. without alcohol) have shown beneficial effects on cardiometabolic parameters associated with obesity. Most research has focused on resveratrol, a specific polyphenol components which is quite specific to red wine and has, at least in animal studies, beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, and endothelial function. Moreover, RWPs have shown to improve endothelial NO-mediated relaxation using the same PI3-kinase/Akt pathway as does insulin. However, data in humans are remarkably scarce

Randomized controlled trial (double blind).

Study population:

Obese (BMI >30); n=30, men or women, aged 18-60 years.

Intervention:

Mixed RWP 600mg/day or matching placebo for a total duration of 8 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. insulin sensitivity as determined by euglycemic clamp tests

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Molecular mechanisms in muscle tissue

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Glucose tolerance as assessed by the area under the curve for glucose (AUCgluc) during a standardized meal test

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. microvascular function (baseline and during hyperglycemia)

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Blood pressure 24 hr measurement

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Red Wine Polyphenols 600mg/day in people with Obesity, run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 25 Nov 2014. 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 Netherlands. 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?

insulin sensitivity as determined by euglycemic clamp tests (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 NCT01518764, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Nov 2014.
