Trial summary

To determine whether or not chronic kidney disease (CKD), stages III-V and ESRD , is associated with altered vitamin D metabolism related to fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) stimulation of Cyp24 and whether they have resistance to elevations of 25 Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D3) after cholecalciferol supplementation.

About this study

Official title: Vitamin D Metabolism in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients With Vitamin D Deficiency Treated With Cholecalciferol

To determine whether or not chronic kidney disease (CKD), stages III-V and ESRD , is associated with altered vitamin D metabolism related to fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) stimulation of Cyp24 and whether they have resistance to elevations of 25 Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D3) after cholecalciferol supplementation.

To determine if such resistance is related to enhanced catabolism of (25(OH)related to elevated levels of FGF-23.

Read the detailed description
  1. Patients in the Memphis VA Medical Center with documented vitamin D deficiency, determined by measurements of 25(OH)D3, were recruited for this study. 25(OH)D3 measurements are commonly obtained during routine clinical care in both primary care and nephrology clinics. Patient with a wide range of kidney function, ranging from normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (e GFR) to patients with stage III and V (CKD) (estimated GFR <60 ml/min) were recruited treated with weekly oral administration of 10,000 IU of cholecalciferol for a total of 8 weeks in order to correct the vitamin D deficiency.
  2. Data collected: Baseline characteristics including demographics, laboratory data obtained at primary care clinic visits, clinical data from the VAMC medical record and medications were obtained at the time of inclusion into the study. Serum concentrations of FGF23, 25(OH)D, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D(1,25 (OH)₂D), 24,25 dihydroxyvitamin D(24,25(OH)₂D) ,intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), Calcium, Phosphorous and creatinine and urinary concentrations of calcium, phosphate and creatinine from 24 hr urine collections were obtained at the time of inclusion into the study and after 8 weeks of weekly cholecalciferol therapy. Serum and buffy coats which were recollected from dialysis patient's who agreed to participate, were used to measure mRNA levels of FGF-23, CPY27B1 and Cyp 24 expression.
  3. Methods utilized in analyzing and interpreting the data Descriptive statistics will be performed to compare serum and urinary measurements before and after cholecalciferol therapy. Associations between estimated glomerular filtration rate and levels of vitamin D metabolites and FGF23, before and after treatment, will also be evaluated. The mRNA expression of FGF-23, CPY27B1 and Cyp 24 will be measured in a subset of dialysis patients who completed the treatment course and agreed to provide the additional samples.
  4. Duration of the project: 1 year.
Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 10,000 IU of cholecalciferol for a total of 8 weeks in people with Vitamin D Metabolism is in Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Memphis VA Medical Center 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 1 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2012. 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.

Are results available for this study?

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?

Vitamin D Metabolism in CKD and ESRD Patients with Vitamin D Deficiency treated with Cholicalciferol (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 NCT01528176, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Feb 2012.
