Study Phase

Phase 4


Intervention(s) planned

Study will be conducted at Armed forces Institutes of Pathology (AFIP), National University of Medical Sciences Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

The diabetic patients after screening will be assigned to one of the five groups by simple randomization. Five groups consisting of four treatment arms A,B,C, D and one control arm E. Allocation concealment technique will not be used.

All participants (diabetic patients) will be provided nutritional supplements along with their recommended oral hypoglycemic medications.

Participants of Group A will be given one capsule of delta-tocotrienol (250 mg/ day); Group B resveratrol (200mg/day) ; Group C vitamin D (2500 IU/day); Group D combination preparation of tocotrienol, resveratrol & vitamin D (250mg+150mg+ 2500 IU per day) and Group E Placebo-(400mg, cellulose) by oral route for 24 weeks

Details of each allocation arm in the factorial assignment is as follow Arm 1: delta tocotrienol + placebo Arm 2: vitamin D + placebo Arm 3: resveratrol + placebo Arm 4: delta tocotrienol+ vitamin D+ resveratrol+ Placebo Arm 5: Placebo

Diabetic management standard protocol of dietary control and oral hypoglycemic agents will be given to each arm of patients.

Masking will be carried out as follows:
Participants: Blinded
Healthcare providers: Blinded

  1. Pakistani male and female patients 18-70 years of age.
  2. Patients of diabetes mellitus type 2 having HbA1C 7-12 %
  3. Taking oral hypoglycemic agent for at least one year.
  4. Duration of diabetes > 5 years

Exclusion criteria

  1. Acute illness
  2. Chronic illness including chronic liver disease, Seropositive for HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C
  3. Chronic kidney diseases
  4. Uncontrolled hypertension. SBP of >180 mmHg and DBP >110 mmHg
  5. Thyroid disorders (TSH <0.3 or >5.5 µIU/mL) or thyroid malignancy
  6. BMI more than 35 kg/m2
  7. Medical history/clinical evidence of familial hyperlipidemic disorder.
  8. Pregnant or lactating women
  9. Taking insulin, statins, anti-inflammatory drugs, vitamin E and vitamin D regularly or in the last 4 weeks
  10. Unable to give informed consent


Primary outcome(s)

1.

To determine the improvement in the glycemic control, reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation in the patients of type II diabetes mellitus by measuring following biochemical markers: 1. Mean reduction from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at 24 weeks

  1. Mean reduction from baseline in Serum high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) at 24 weeks

  2. Mean reduction from baseline in Serum malondialdehyde (MDA) at 24 weeks

[

From baseline to 24 weeks of treatment within all groups

]

Secondary outcome(s)

1.

Mean change in insulin resistance as measured by HOMA-IR
2. Mean change in microalbuminuria
3. Mean change in lipid profile
4. Mean change in serum creatinine
5. Mean change in cytokines [TNF-alpha (tumour necrosis factor alpha), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-12, TGF-ß (Transforming growth factor-beta), Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Intercellular Adhesion Molecule (ICAM), Vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)
6. Mean change in circulatory mitochondrial RNA (miRNA): miRNA-21, miRNA-34a, miRNA-126, miRNA-132, miRNA-148, mi-RNA 217, miRNA-375

[

From baseline to 24 weeks of treatment within all groups
