Trial summary

The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is greater than 15%. PAD is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death, coronary heart disease and stroke, with a mortality rate of 5% per year. Most clinical evidence supports the idea that having normal vitamin D reduces cardiovascular risk. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Strategy for Systematic Screening for Vitamin D Deficiency and Treatment in Case of Deficiency, on the Improvement of the Maximum Walking Distance in Patients With Stage 2 Lower Limb Arterial Disease.

The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is greater than 15%. PAD is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death, coronary heart disease and stroke, with a mortality rate of 5% per year.

Most clinical evidence supports the idea that having normal vitamin D reduces cardiovascular risk. The data suggests that normalizing vitamin D levels would have a significant impact on public health, reduce costs and help control the incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular disease.

There is also a plausible physiological theory, supported by numerous observational studies, that vitamin D supplementation should be effective in improving cardiovascular outcomes, such as blood pressure, arterial stiffness, atherosclerosis, endothelial function, and clinical events.

The investigators hypothesize that routine screening for vitamin D deficiency and supplementation in case of hypovitaminosis D is effective for improving the maximum walking distance after 12 weeks of treatment in stage 2 PAD patients .

Read the detailed description

At admission eligible patients are proposed to participate. Written consent is signed after complete oral and written explanation of the protocol is signed. Vitamin D level will be assessed : Patients without vitamin D deficiency will be excluded.

The influence of vitamin D supplementation on the evolution of walking distance in 12 weeks will be studied by comparing the spontaneous evolution of this walking distance, in not supplemented patients (period 1 ), and the evolution under treatment with vitamin D (period 2, afer 3 months ).

The spontaneous evolution of the walking distance will be evaluated by the difference in walking distance observed between the beginning and the end of the first Period (3 months) . The evolution of walking distance under vitamin D treatment will be evaluated by the difference in walking distance between between the beginning and the end of the second Period (3 months).

The duration of participation for a subject is equal to 6 months (2 periods of 3 months )

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of the maximum walking distance on treadmill

    the Walking distance will be assessed during a test on a treadmill according to a standardized procedure

    Measured: baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tolerance of vitamin D supplementation during 12 weeks of treatment (period 2)

    Prevalence and description of adverse events reported by the patient in a patient book and data collected at the end of treatment

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Compliance with Vitamin D supplementation

    Recording of vitamin D intake by the patient in a patient booklet and counting of the number of vitamin D boxes in the V2 visit

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cholecalciferol in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 24 Sep 2020. 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 France. 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?

Change of the maximum walking distance on treadmill (time frame: baseline, 12 weeks and 24 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 24 Sep 2020.
