Study of High-Dose Resveratrol in Patients With Stable Ischemic Heart Disease

April 17, 2025 updated by: S.LAB (SOLOWAYS)

A 6-Month, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study of High-Dose Resveratrol in Patients With Stable Ischemic Heart Disease

This 6-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study investigates whether high-dose resveratrol (500 mg/day), when added to standard therapy, can improve endothelial function and reduce inflammation in patients with stable ischemic heart disease. While preclinical data and small trials have shown promising effects on vascular health and inflammation, larger studies have lacked consistent results. This study aims to provide more robust clinical evidence by assessing flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as primary outcomes in a well-defined patient group.

Detailed Description

This study is a 6-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the effects of high-dose resveratrol (500 mg/day) on endothelial function and systemic inflammation in patients with stable ischemic heart disease (IHD). Despite widespread interest in resveratrol's cardioprotective potential, there remains limited high-quality clinical evidence supporting its benefit in established cardiovascular disease. Preclinical and small human studies suggest that resveratrol may enhance endothelial function via eNOS activation and oxidative stress reduction, reduce inflammation by lowering pro-inflammatory markers like CRP and cytokines, and mimic caloric restriction pathways through sirtuin activation. However, its clinical efficacy may be hindered by factors such as poor bioavailability, heterogeneous patient populations, and overlapping effects of standard cardiovascular drugs. This trial will randomize eligible participants, aged 45 to 75 with stable IHD and elevated inflammation or impaired endothelial function, to receive either resveratrol or placebo alongside their regular medication. The primary endpoints are changes in flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) from baseline to six months. Secondary outcomes include changes in inflammatory biomarkers, lipid profile, arterial stiffness, blood pressure, quality of life, and exercise tolerance. The study also assesses the safety and tolerability of long-term high-dose supplementation. With an estimated 70 participants (35 per arm), the study aims to detect a clinically meaningful 3% improvement in FMD with 80% power, contributing valuable data to guide future larger-scale investigations.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
