About this study

Official title: Vitamin D Deficiency in Interstitial Lung Diseases

This study evaluates serum level of Vitamin D in Interstitial Lung Diseases in patients with Interstitial Lung Diseases other than connective tissue diseases associated-Interstitial Lung Diseases and effects of its supplementation.

All patients will receive the standard regimen of treatment (corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs)and will be randomly assigned to either Group 1:who will receive Vitamin D supplementation (Interventional group)or Group 2:who will not receive Vitamin D supplementation(Control group).

Read the detailed description

Pulmonary fibrosis was due to chronic inflammation and disordered wound healing in response to damage induced by a variety of agents such as viral infection and radiotherapy or environmental toxins.it is characterized by accumulation of myofibroblasts and excessive deposition of the extracellular matrix.Epithelial cells undergoes epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Supplementation with vitamin D or its analogs suppresses lung fibrosis via triggering anti-fibrotic effect through attenuation of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-B).vitamin D can reduce TGF-B expression and attenuate TGF-B induced epithelial mesenchymal transition in lung fibroblast and epithelial cells.

What participants receive

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

  • Vitamin D3 (1.25 (OH)2 cholecalciferol)Dietary supplement

    Also called calcium carbonate

    Vitamin D 3 in a dose of 200.000 IU intramuscular injection every 2 weeks for 3 months for Vitamin D deficient interstitial lung disease patients and every month for 3 months for vitamin D insufficient interstitial lung disease patients.

    calcium supplementation in form of ca carbonate 600 mg oral capsule once daily for 3 months for all patients.

Study groups in NCT04100226
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Interstitial lung patients with low vitamin DExperimentalArm 1:(interventional group): interstitial lung diseases patients with low vitamine D will receive Vitamin D supplementation in form of Vitamin D3 (1.25(OH)2 cholecalciferol) in dose of 200.000 IU intramuscular injection every 2 weeks for 3 months for deficient vitamin D level patients and every month for 3 months for insufficient vitamin D level patients beside ca supplementation in form ca carbonate 600 mg oral capsule once daily for 3 months for all patients in addition to current treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in lung functions (spirometric data) from baseline i.e change of Forced vital capacity (FVC) percent predicted values from baseline

    functional improvement via improvement of pulmonary function parameters as regard to volumes like {forced vital capacity(FVC) percent predicted value} .

    Measured: baseline and 12 week (measurement at enrollment and end of study)

  2. change in lung functions (spirometric data) from baseline i.e change of Forced expiratory volume in 1st second (FEV1) percent predicted values from baseline

    functional improvement via improvement of pulmonary function parameters as regard to volumes like {forced expiratory volume in 1st second(FEV1) percent predicted value} .

    Measured: baseline and 12 week (measurement at enrollment and end of study)

  3. change in lung functions (spirometric data) from baseline i.e change in forced expiratory flow at 25% (FEF25%) percent predicted values from baseline

    functional improvement via improvement of pulmonary function parameters as regard to velocity like {forced expiratory volume in 1st second(FEV1) percent predicted value} .

    Measured: baseline and 12 week (measurement at enrollment and end of study)

  4. change in 6-minutes walk distance

    change in 6-minutes walk distance walked by the patient for 6 minutes

    Measured: baseline and 12 week (measurement at enrollment and end of study)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. change in dyspnea score grading from baseline

    dyspnea score will be evaluated by Modified Medical Research Council(mMRC) scale which consist in 5 statements that describe almost the entire range of dyspnea from none (G 0) to almost complete in capacity ( G 4).

    Measured: baseline and 12 week (measurement at enrollment and end of study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vitamin D3 (1.25 (OH)2 cholecalciferol) in people with Lung Diseases, Interstitial and Vitamin D Deficiency, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2019. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 lung functions (spirometric data) from baseline i.e change of Forced vital capacity (FVC) percent predicted values from baseline (time frame: baseline and 12 week (measurement at enrollment and end of study)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 2019.
