About this study

The study will evaluate the effects of resveratrol/leucine and resveratrol/HMB for their ability to control glucose levels in persons without diabetes but with impaired fasting glucose. Secondary assessments will examine the effect of these nutritional supplements versus placebo on inflammation, fasting lipids, HbA1C, and fructosamine, longer term metabolic markers of risk in diabetes.

Read the detailed description

This will be a 28-day randomized controlled trial of the effects of a nutraceutical preparation on glycemic control in non-diabetic individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). IGT will be defined by American Diabetes Association criteria, as outlined in the list of inclusion and exclusion criteria (copy attached). There will be two active treatment arms and a placebo arm (3 arms total, n=12 completed subjects per arm). Following screening for inclusion/exclusion criteria and obtaining informed consent, subjects will be enrolled in the study and provided instructions to maintain their usual dietary pattern and physical activity level. If recent physical examination and medical history are not available; H\&P will be conducted and recorded for each enrolled subject. Subjects will be instructed to follow a 12-hour fast starting on day -1, and on the morning of day 0 fasting blood is drawn for analyses indicated below and the supplements are distributed. Supplements are distributed using a blinding protocol and a variable, known pill allotment in order to assess compliance via standard pill counts. Pill bottles and all unused supplements are returned at seven day intervals, with new supplies being distributed at that time. Fasting blood samples are obtained on days 0, 7, 14 and 28. Samples from each day are analyzed for glucose and insulin. Samples from days 0, 14 and 28 are also analyzed for fructosamine, C-peptide, glucagon and F2-isoprostanes. A75 g oral glucose tolerance test administered on days 0 and 28.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ResveratrolDietary supplement

    A blend of low dose resveratrol and either leucine or HMB will be useful nutraceutical strategies for the control of elevated blood glucose in non-diabetic individuals with elevated fasting glucose. The proposed project is designed to evaluate this hypothesis by comparing the effects of resveratrol (50 mg)/leucine (1.11 g) administered twice daily (bid).

  • resveratrol /HMBDietary supplement

    resveratrol (50 mg)/HMB (500 mg) twice daily (bid) with placebo on fasting blood glucose, glucose tolerance, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, fructosamine and F2-isoprostanes in non-diabetic subjects with elevated fasting blood glucose.

  • Placebo treatmentOther

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2013. 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. 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?

Glucose Control (time frame: 28 days). 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 NCT01593605, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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 20 Sep 2013.
