What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of cardiovascular risk will be realized by measurement of cytokine levels, C-reactive protein and cholesterol levels.

    Assessment of cardiovascular risk will be realized by measurement of cytokine levels (IL-12p70, IL-6, IL-10, IL-1b, IL-8 and TNF-α), C-reactive protein and cholesterol levels (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides) in patients with schizophrenia before and after supplementation with resveratrol or placebo.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cognitive performance will be assessed with a battery of cognitive tests and BPRS (brief psychiatric rating scale) to assess symptoms.

    Cognitive performance will be assessed with a battery of cognitive tests (Hopkins, for verbal memory; Stroop: for executive function; Digits WAIS-III, for attention; and Sequence numbers and letters for verbal memory and attention) and BPRS (brief psychiatric rating scale) to assess symptoms.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing resveratrol in people with Schizophrenia, run by Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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?

Assessment of cardiovascular risk will be realized by measurement of cytokine levels, C-reactive protein and cholesterol levels. (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT02062190, 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 8 Dec 2015.
