About this study

This study investigates the effect of vitamin D deficiency on drug metabolism and transport in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in healthy controls.

The central hypothesis is that vitamin D concentrations independently affect metabolism and transport function in CKD patients. An over-arching goal of this proposal is to make drug therapies safer and more effective to reduce the significant morbidity and mortality in patients with CKD.

Read the detailed description

Specific Aim 1: Determine the effect of vitamin D deficiency and repletion on xenobiotic clearance in vivo. The study will mechanistically evaluate the function of major pathways of metabolism and transport by prospectively studying clearance phenotypes utilizing "probe" drugs commonly used for this purpose in CKD patients and healthy volunteers under vitamin D deficient and replete states. Bupropion, midazolam, olmesartan, fexofenadine, in addition to an endogenous probe (N-methylnicotinamide), will be used to phenotype major phase I drug metabolizing enzymes [cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6), cytochrome P450 3A4/5 (CYP3A4/5)], and transporters [multidrug resistance associated protein 2 (MRP2), P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1/2K (MATE1/2K)], respectively. Hypothesis: The in vivo function of individual pathways of xenobiotic metabolism and transport are affected by vitamin D status (and CKD).

Specific Aim 2: Determine the effect of CKD on the in vivo function of individual CYPs responsible for vitamin D metabolism and the pharmacokinetics of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). The research will prospectively measure the activity of CYP450s responsible for cholecalciferol metabolism, and simultaneously evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of cholecalciferol after single- and multiple-dose administration to CKD patients (stages 1-5) and healthy volunteers. Hypothesis: CKD alters the activity of individual CYPs responsible for vitamin D metabolism, leading to modified clearance of cholecalciferol.

What participants receive

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

  • CholecalciferolDietary supplement

    Also called Vitamin D

    Vitamin D deficient patients, in both Arms, will be administered Cholecalciferol 5,000 IU daily.

Study groups in NCT02360644
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm 1: Drug Metabolism and TransportExperimentalThe aim of Arm 1 is to determine the effect of vitamin D deficiency and repletion on xenobiotic clearance in vivo. The study will evaluate the in vivo function of targeted metabolism and transport pathways in 40 CKD and 18 healthy volunteer subjects (controls) under the influence of a vitamin D depleted state and repeated under a vitamin D replete state with cholecalciferol. The function of two major phase I drug metabolizing enzymes (CYP2B6, CYP3A), and three transporters [P-gp, MRP2, and MATE1/2K] will be assessed by administering oral bupropion, midazolam, olmesartan, and fexofenadine.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: Cholecalciferol
Arm 2: Vitamin D PharmacokineticsExperimentalThe aim of Arm 2 is to determine the effect of CKD on the in vivo function of individual CYP450s responsible for vitamin D metabolism and their functional relevance on the pharmacokinetics of cholecalciferol. A total of 90 CKD subjects will be enrolled [30 per group: group I (CKD stage 1/2), group II (CKD stage 3), and group III (CKD stage 4/5, pre-ESRD)], as well as 30 healthy controls.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: Cholecalciferol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cholecalciferol in people with Chronic Kidney Diseases and Deficiency, Vitamin D, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 2 sites 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 13 inclusion and 21 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 30 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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?

Change in area under the plasma concentration time curves for probe drugs (bupropion, midazolam, olmesartan and fexofenadine) from baseline to 12 weeks. (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 30 Jun 2021.
