Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vitamin D as a Modifier of Serum Hepcidin in Children With Chronic Kidney Disease (NCT NCT01532349)

NCT ID: NCT01532349

Last Updated: 2017-06-14

Results Overview

The null hypothesis to be tested is that Vitamin D supplementation will not be associated with a decrease in serum hepcidin over the study period. Statistical analysis will be performed as intention-to-treat.

Measure
400 IU Vitamin D
Children will be randomly allocated to receive cholecalciferol supplementation 400 IU/day (2,800 IU/weekly), which is the recommended dietary allowance. Study participants will be prescribed any clinically indicated additional cholecalciferol supplementation once the 3-month laboratory measures have been obtained, based on serum 25D levels at the end of the study period.
4000 IU Vitamin D
Children will be randomly allocated to receive cholecalciferol supplementation 4000 IU/day (28,000 IU weekly) according to the KDOQI recommended supplementation for children with mild 25D deficiency. Study participants will be prescribed any clinically indicated additional cholecalciferol supplementation once the 3-month laboratory measures have been obtained, based on serum 25D levels at the end of the study period.

Study participants will be prescribed any clinically indicated additional cholecalciferol supplementation once the 3-month laboratory measures have been obtained, based on serum 25D levels at the end of the study period. Serum hepcidin was the primary outcome variable and was quantified at all visits.
