Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient is willing and able to provide written informed consent prior to participation.
  • Patient is ≥18 and ≤80 years of age at baseline.
  • Patients have genetically verified mitochondrial disorder or a fatty acid oxidation deficiency (VLCAD/CPTII).
  • Patient has a clinical presentation, signs or symptoms suggestive of myopathy (e.g., easy fatigability, exercise intolerance, muscle pain) in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • Patient is ambulatory.

Who cannot join

  • Patient has any prior or current medical conditions that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would prevent the patient from safely participating in and/or completing all study requirements.
  • Patient has symptoms of mitochondrial myopathy due to known secondary mitochondrial dysfunction (e.g., drug-induced myopathy).

About this study

Official title: Resveratrol Supplementation in Patients With Mitochondrial Myopathies and Skeletal Muscle Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Cross Over Study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential beneficial effects of a daily supplement of Resveratrol (1000mg/day) on physical ability and on muscle metabolism in patients with verified mitochondrial myopathy and patients with a verified fatty acid oxidation defect of VLCAD and CPTII deficiencies. Investigators hypothesize an improved muscle metabolism, mitochondrial function, fatty acid oxidation and thus improvement of physical ability.

Read the detailed description

Study design: double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study.

To ensure enough participants, and due to the risk of a heterogeneous cohort, a cross-over design is chosen, where participants are their own controls. 10 patients with mitochondrial myopathy and 10 patients with fatty acid oxidation defects will be included. Eligible patients will be randomized using a 1:1 assignment ratio to receive placebo or RSV first. Each treatment will be administered orally twice daily for 8 weeks, followed by a 4 weeks wash-out, and afterwards a new 8-week treatment period.

During the 20-week trial period, subjects will visit the trial site on five occasions, for functional assessments (cycle ergometer testing), blood sampling and questionnaires.

What is being measured

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

  1. Heart rate

    Decrease in heart rate during constant load cycling exercise.

    Measured: 20 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Peak oxygen utilization

    VO^2max (ml/min)

    Measured: 20 weeks

  2. Fatty acid oxidation

    Fatty acid oxidation will be assessed by stable isotope technique (only for fatty acid oxidation defect disease subgroup)

    Measured: 20 weeks

  3. Perceived exertion

    Evaluation of perceived exertion (Borg score) during constant workload cycling

    Measured: 20 weeks

  4. Fatigue Severity Scale score

    Evaluation of self-rated fatigue

    Measured: 20 weeks

  5. SF-36 questionnaire

    Evaluation of self-rated daily function scores

    Measured: 20 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resveratrol in people with Mitochondrial Myopathies and Fatty Acid Oxidation Defects, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Nov 2019. 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 Denmark. 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?

Heart rate (time frame: 20 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 27 Nov 2019.
