Effects of VitamIN K2 and D3 supplementaTion on PET/MRI in Carotid Artery Disease — INTRICATE  

Coronary Artery Disease Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effects of Vitamin K2 and D3 Supplementation on 18F-NaF PET/MRI in Patients With Carotid and Coronary Artery Disease

Clinical Trial Summary

Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arteries and is the result of various factors such as high blood cholesterol or diabetes, which lead to accumulations of fats, cells, and calcium deposits (i.e. plaques). It has been shown that people with a rapid increase in the amount of calcium deposits have a higher risk for stroke and heart attack than people with a decreased amount. Previous scientific research has shown that a protein called Matrix Gla Protein plays an important role in the prevention of calcification. This protein works well only if there is enough Vitamin K in the blood vessels. In a large human studies, it has been shown that especially MK-7 (a form of Vitamin K2) is best absorbed by blood vessels. Moreover, studies suggest positive effects of vitamin D (especially D3) on vitamin K-dependent metabolism. Over the last years, fluorine-18 sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) positron emission tomography (PET) emerged as a reliable clinical imaging tool able to detect micro-calcification in the blood vessels. Therefore, the present study will use 18F-NaF PET in combination with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the influence of vitamin K and D supplementation in the development of arterial micro-calcification in the context of atherosclerosis. The present study would like to confirm that MK-7 and vitamin D3 supplementation induces a significant reduction in the degree of micro-calcification from carotid artery disease patients, when comparing to a placebo, after 3 months. This will be a prospective double blind randomised controlled feasibility study, in which one group will receive a MK-7 and vitamin D3 supplementation compared to a control group receiving a placebo.
