About this study

Official title: Resveratrol: A Potential Anti- Remodeling Agent in Heart Failure, From Bench to Bedside (RES-HF)

The purpose of this study is to determine if resveratrol can improve heart function and quality of life. Although, population studies have revealed that a mild to moderate intake of red wine reduces cardiovascular disease risk in humans, clinical studies that evaluate the potential heart benefits of resveratrol in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy have not been previously reported. Accordingly, this research is being done because it will fill this deficiency in the information available in the literature and establish the clinical benefits of resveratrol in patients with this type of heart disease.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will conduct a randomized double blinded placebo controlled study of 40 adults (≥18 to 90 years old). Twenty (20) subjects will be included in the placebo arm, and 20 in the treatment arm. Patients will be randomly allocated to receive placebo or resveratrol. After randomization, the two groups of subjects will be followed up in exactly the same way, and the only differences between the care they receive will be those intrinsic to the treatment being compared. The randomization will minimize allocation bias, balancing both known and unknown prognostic factors, in the assignment of treatments.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of life

    Measured by Minnesota living with heart failure score

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Cardiac Function

    Echocardiography

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)

    Measured: 12 Months

  4. Nitric Oxide Determination

    Total nitric oxide levels will be measured.

    Measured: 12 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Resveratrol in people with Dilated Cardiomyopathy, run by St. Boniface Hospital at 1 site in Canada.

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 14 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 14 Nov 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 Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Wendy Janz, RN (204-237-2793, wjanz@exchange.mb.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quality of life (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Nov 2018.
