About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to analyze the effects of in vitamin D3 on serum hepcidin and ferritin levels among children with chronic kidney disease. The main questions it aims to answer is:

"What is the effect of giving vitamin D3 on serum hepcidin and ferritin levels in children with chronic kidney disease?"

We will compare the effect of vitamin D3 administration on hepcidin and ferritin between 2 groups. Group A consists of children with GFR more 90 mL/min/1,73 m2. Group B consists of children with GFR less than 90 mL/min/1,73 m2

Participants will be given the same 2000 IU of Vitamin D/day for 6 weeks.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to analyze the effects of vitamin D3 administration on serum levels of hepcidin and ferritin in children diagnosed with CKD. The research aims to measure these serum levels before and after vitamin D3 supplementation across different stages of kidney function, categorized by glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Specifically, it seeks to determine whether vitamin D3 can effectively reduce hepcidin levels and improve iron status as indicated by ferritin levels. The study employs a structured methodology involving children with CKD, divided into two groups based on their GFR: those with GFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m² and those with GFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m². Serum levels of vitamin D, hepcidin, and ferritin will be measured at baseline (before supplementation) and after a defined period of vitamin D3 administration. The research will utilize statistical analyses to compare these values within and between groups to establish any significant changes attributable to the supplementation.

Model description
The study targets children diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, categorized into two groups based on their glomerular filtration rate (GFR): those with GFR \< 90 mL/min/1.73 m² and those with GFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m². Participants are selected through purposive sampling, ensuring they meet defined inclusion criteria related to age, CKD diagnosis, and baseline serum levels. Serum levels of vitamin D, hepcidin, and ferritin are measured before and after vitamin D3 supplementation. This allows for comparative analysis of changes within each group and between the two groups, providing insights into the effects of vitamin D3 on iron metabolism.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Vitamin D in people with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 1 and Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 2, run by Hasanuddin University at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 27 Nov 2024. 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 Indonesia. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Vitamin D Level (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06706271, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Nov 2024.
