About this study

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and effects of resveratrol in treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most important public health burdens, and its prevalence has rapidly increased worldwide over the past decades. One of the most important complications of DM is nephropathy.

Resveratrol (3, 5, 4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a natural polyphenolic compound belongs to the large group of polyphenols found in different plant species. The richest natural source of resveratrol is Polygonum cuspidatum - a plant root extract of which have been used in oriental folk medicine. Considerable amounts of resveratrol were also found in skin of red grapes, peanuts, groundnuts, and red vine.

Resveratrol is considered to have beneficial effects on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, the cardiovascular system, as it has been found to improve vasodilatation, ischaemic preconditioning, both of which seem to be the result of the activation of the endothelial NO synthase enzyme, and to inhibit both platelet aggregation and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Resveratrol itself is an efficient antioxidant, as evidenced by both in vitro and in vivo studies, and, it has also been shown to improve diabetes-related impairments in animals.

We hypothesized that resveratrol may have a favorable effects on control of diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and effects of resveratrol in treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Resveratrol and Losartan in people with Diabetic Nephropathy, run by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2017. 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 Iran. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Urine albumin level (time frame: 3 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02704494, which also lists 2 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 5 Oct 2017.
