SLOW-Slower Progress of caLcificatiOn With Vitamin K2

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

A randomized 12-month trial will include two groups of 100 individuals aged over 50 years, with asymptomatic mild to moderate Aortic valve stenosis (AVA > 1 cm2, Vmax < 4 m/s). The first group of 100 individuals will serve as the intervention group that will receive 300 mcg of K2 vitamin on a daily basis, while the second group of 100 individuals will be the control group that will receive placebo on a daily basis as well. Both groups will be monitored identically in order to investigate therapeutic effects on calcification and valve stenosis progression. Correlation with Mitral annulus and ascending Aorta.Exclusion criteria: Chronic Kidney disease, Vitamin K antagonists, statins, age < 50 y.o,prosthetic valves,Aortic Valve area (AVA) < 1cm2 ,Vmax > 4 m/s

Clinical Trial Description

For the purposes of this study, all individuals will be subjected to the same quantitative and qualitative tests, before and after the daily administration of 300mcg K2 vitamin/placebo for a period of one year.Clinical examination,extensive blood laboratory tests,direct measurement of Dephosphorylated-uncarboxylated MGP(dp-ucMGP), Echocardiogram and ECS,carotid ultrasound,ophthalmologic exam,further imaging methods with MSCT Calcium Score(Agatston score) will take place.Correlations with their medical and pharmacological therapy history. Before and after the administration of VK2/placebo, the following measurements will take place i)Quantitative and percentile rate determination of Aortic Valve, Mitral Valve and Ascending Aorta calcification via MSCT Calcium score without contrast. ii)Echocardiogram and calcification evaluation via Echocardiographic Calcium Score (ECS), iii)Determination of changes in carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and Carotid stenosis iv)Standard ophthalmologic examination v)Direct measurement of Dephosphorylated-uncarboxylated MGP(dp-ucMGP) vi)Correlation with blood biomarkers ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
