About this study

Official title: Study of the Effect of Calcifediol Supplementation on Left Ventricular Function in Cardiopathic Patients Undergoing Major Orthopedic Surgery

Prospective, monocentric study in open, aimed at evaluating the effects of supplementation with calcifediol on left ventricular function parameters in cardiopathic subjects undergoing major orthopedic surgery.

Read the detailed description

Population of the study: 47 cardiopathic patients with hypovitaminosis D supplemented with calcifediol to reach vitamin D levels> 30 ng / ml within 6 months. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the improvement of the ejection fraction or GLS (global longitudinal strain) calculated by speckle tracking at 6 months in cardiopathic patients with vitamin D deficiency during functional recovery after major orthopedic surgery.

Being tested
Didrogyl
Medical subject headings
Vitamin D Deficiency, Cardiovascular Diseases

What participants receive

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

  • DidrogylDrug

    Calcifediol will be administered at a dose of 10 drops per day (as indicated for use) for 6 months or until vitamin D levels> 30 ng / ml are obtained.

    Once these values have been obtained, the dosage can be reduced to a dosage of 4/5 drops of calcifediol (1 drop contains 5mcg of calcifediol) with the aim to maintain the plasma values of 25 (OH) D in a optimal range between 30-60 ng / ml during the 6 month of the duration of the study.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
cardiopathic patients in hypovitaminosisExperimentalDidrogyl 10 ml: 10 drops a day to obtain levels of vitamin D > 30 ng /ml. Once these values are obtained lower the dose to 4-5 drops a day, with the aim, however, of keeping the plasma values between 30 and 60 ng/ml during 6 months of the study

What is being measured

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

    Evaluation of improvement of ejection fraction (FE) or longitudinal strain calculated by speckle tracking at 6 months in cardiopathic patients with vitamin D deficiency who underwent supplementation with calcifediol, during functional recovery after major orthopedic surgery

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Didrogyl in people with Hypovitaminosis D and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by I.R.C.C.S Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio at 1 site in Italy.

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 5 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 9 May 2023. 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 Italy. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 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?

Evaluation of improvement of ejection fraction (FE) (time frame: 6 months). 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 May 2023.
