About this study

Official title: Phase III Study of the Effect of Vitamin D Repletion on Urinary Calcium Excretion in Kidney Stone Formers With Vitamin D Deficiency and High Urinary Calcium

The investigators hypothesize that a 3 month course of vitamin D supplementation to treat 25(OH)D deficiency in stone formers with high levels of 24-hour urinary calcium will not increase urinary calcium excretion by greater than 10%.

Read the detailed description

We plan to conduct a clinic-based interventional study of 30 patients followed at Brigham and Women's Hospital with history of nephrolithiasis, urinary calcium excretion between 200 and 400 mg/day, and 25-vitamin D deficiency (defined as serum level ≤ 25ng/ml). The intervention is oral ergocalciferol 50,000 IU per week for 8 weeks [1], and each participant will serve as his own control. The outcome is the change in urinary calcium excretion. The planned study duration is 3 months. We will have greater than 95% power to detect a 10% increase in 24-hour urinary calcium

What participants receive

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

  • vitamin D (ergocalciferol)Drug

    Also called ergocalciferol

    The intervention is oral ergocalciferol 50,000 IU per week for 8 weeks

Study groups in NCT00948740
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ergocalciferolExperimentalAfter signing informed consent, all participants who meet the study criteria will receive ergocalciferol 50,000 IU weekly for 8 weeks. After completing the ergocalciferol course, participants will take a maintenance dose of cholecalciferol 1,000 IU daily.
Receives: Drug: vitamin D (ergocalciferol)

What is being measured

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

  1. Urinary calcium level after treatment with ergocalciferol will be compared with the pre-treatment level. The primary outcome is the change in urinary calcium excretion.

    Measured: 1-2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing vitamin D (ergocalciferol) in people with Vitamin D Deficiency and Nephrolithiasis, run by Brigham and Women's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 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 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Urinary calcium level after treatment with ergocalciferol will be compared with the pre-treatment level. The primary outcome is the change in urinary calcium excretion. (time frame: 1-2 years). 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 9 Jan 2017.
