Study of Vitamin D3 Supplementation in Patients With Chronic Kidney

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of vitamin D3 supplementation on the insulin resistance in non-diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-4, vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency and elevated fasting serum insulin levels.

Clinical Trial Description

Insulin resistance, i.e., reduction in insulin responsiveness with a decrease in glucose uptake in insulin target tissues (muscle and adipose tissue) is common in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), but is also present at earlier stages of renal disease with mild-moderate renal function impairment as well as in microalbuminuria and nephrotic syndrome.

Population-based cross-sectional studies have shown that low levels of vitamin D (25(OH) vitamin D) is associated with impaired glucose tolerance in subjects with normal renal function and that reduced renal function and 25(OH) vitamin D deficiency are independently associated with insulin resistance.

Vitamin D has well-known effects on calcium metabolism and skeletal mineralisation but recent experimental studies suggest that vitamin D in addition reduces several inflammatory mediators that are of importance in the development and progression of renal disease which also associated with insulin resistance such as TNF-α and IL-6.

This is a prospective, single-blind, explorative, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-centre, two-way cross-over study with two treatment periods of 10 weeks separated by a washout period of 6 weeks. Non-diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 and 4 (GFR 15-60 ml/min/1.73m2) who have low serum 25-OH-vitamin D levels (< 30 ng/mL) and elevated fasting serum insulin levels (>10 IU/L) will be randomized to receive either vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 3200U orally (tablets) daily or placebo.

Approximately 24 patients are going to complete the study. A pre-entry wash-out period of 6 weeks is needed for patents already on vitamin D treatment. An in vivo assessment of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity will be made by insulin-glucose clamp at the end of each treatment period. ;

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.
