About this study

The investigators planned to research the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Read the detailed description

Vitamin D is primarily generated in the skin, in response to direct absorption of ultraviolet B radiation. Vitamin D can also be obtained through fortified foods and oral supplements. Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a generally reversible form of acute kidney injury that occurs mostly within 2-3 days of exposure to contrast medium (CM). The estimated incidence of CIN ranges from 2%-50%, and coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or both, are associated with CIN in about half of cases. Recently low vitamin D status has been shown to be associated with increased risk of CIN. However, its effects on CIN patients remain unclear. The investigators planned to determine the efficacy of vitamin D on the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing coronary angiography. This study may shed light as to whether oral vitamin D supplementation can be an adjunct therapy in CIN patients.

Being tested
vitamin D3 tablets, placebo

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

  • vitamin D3 tabletsDrug

Vitamin D supplementation groupExperimentaldrug: vitamin D3 tablets (Vigantoletten; Merck Pharma, Germany); the frequency: 2000 IU vitamin D3 tablets were taken daily; duration: study treatment was commenced 3 days before intervention and maintained for 3 days after the procedure.
Receives: Drug: vitamin D3 tablets
Control groupPlacebo comparatordrug: placebo tablets; the frequency: 2000 IU placebo tablets were taken daily; duration: study treatment was commenced 3 days before intervention and maintained for 3 days after the procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. the prevalence of contrast-induced nephropathy

    The primary efficacy variable was the prevalence of CIN between the vitamin D group and the control group.

    Measured: 48-72h after treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. a change in serum creatinine level

    The change in serum creatinine level was measured at 1, 2, 3 days after the procedure.

    Measured: at 1, 2, 3 days after percutaneous coronary intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vitamin D3 tablets in people with Contrast-induced Nephropathy, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 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 25 Oct 2016. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yang Shi, M.D. (+8610-66876231, ggyyong@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the prevalence of contrast-induced nephropathy (time frame: 48-72h after treatment). 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 NCT02489240, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 25 Oct 2016.
