Trial summary

Blood cardiac troponin T (cTnT) concentration is a widely used marker of acute cardiac injury. Previous research has shown that type 2 diabetic patients may experience large increments in cTnT levels over the subsequent hours following a single bout of moderate-intensity endurance-type exercise.

About this study

Official title: The Impact of Dietary Nitrate Supplementation on Exercise-induced Cardiac Troponin T Release in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Blood cardiac troponin T (cTnT) concentration is a widely used marker of acute cardiac injury. Previous research has shown that type 2 diabetic patients may experience large increments in cTnT levels over the subsequent hours following a single bout of moderate-intensity endurance-type exercise. This phenomenon is likely attributed to cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. Recent evidence indicates that ingestion of dietary nitrates dramatically increases the bioavailability of NO, and as such, may be protective against cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The investigators hypothesize that dietary nitrate supplementation blunts the rise in cTnT levels following exercise in type 2 diabetic patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiac troponin T

    Cardiac troponin T levels will be assessed before exercise and over the 6-hour period following a single session of exercise.

    Measured: 9 hours, hourly time intervals

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Plasma nitrate

    Cardiac troponin T levels will be assessed before exercise and over the 6-hour period following a single session of exercise.

    Measured: 9 hours, hourly time intervals

  2. Plasma nitrite

    Plasma nitrite levels will be assessed before exercise and over the 6-hour period following a single session of exercise.

    Measured: 9 hours, hourly time intervals

  3. Blood pressure

    Blood pressure will be measured various time during the day.

    Measured: day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dietary nitrate beverage and NaCl beverage in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Maastricht University Medical Center 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 1 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2012. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jan-Willem van Dijk, MSc (+31(0)433881394, janwillem.vandijk@maastrichtuniversity.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cardiac troponin T (time frame: 9 hours, hourly time intervals). 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 1 Nov 2012.
