About this study

Official title: Randomized Crossover Study of The Effects of Resveratrol on Endothelial Function in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The present study is designed to test the hypothesis that resveratrol supplementation will improve the function of the endothelium in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The function of the endothelium will be tested with a non-invasive technique that uses ultrasound to measure the amount of dilation that occurs in the brachial artery following 5-minute cuff occlusion. To help us understand potential mechanisms of benefit, we will also collect blood, urine, and cell samples and test the effects of treatment on protein expression, nitric oxide production, and function of mitochondria.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resveratrol in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Boston University 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 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 1 Mar 2018. 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?

Change from baseline in Brachial artery flow mediated dilation (time frame: 2 hours, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks). 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 Mar 2018.
