Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vitamin D Repletion in Coronary Artery Disease (NCT NCT01570309)

NCT ID: NCT01570309

Last Updated: 2013-10-10

Results Overview

Endothelial function was measured using peripheral arterial tonometry expressed as the reactive hyperemia index. The index is derived from the ratio of the post-to-pre occlusion peripheral arterial tonometry signal amplitude of the tested arm, divided by the post -to-pre occlusion ratio of the control arm. Median within subject change in endothelial function as measured by reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry index in each group is presented.

Participant Flow

Recruitment from October 2008 through December 2010 from the cardiac catheterization laboratories and outpatient clinics of the Jacobi Medical Center and Montefiore Medical Center in the Northeastern section of the Bronx, NY. Additional recruitment occurred at Crystal Run Health in Orange County, NY.

Subjects with ≥ 50% angiographic stenosis of at least 1 coronary artery or documented previous revascularization, were screened for vitamin D deficiency by measurement of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-vitamin D).Eligible subjects with a 25-vitamin D level \< 20 ng/ml were randomly assigned 1:1 to active or placebo treatment

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks

Population: Assuming a standard deviation of 0.6 in the change in RH-PAT score from baseline to 12 weeks, we estimated that the study would need a sample size of 45 patients per treatment group to have 80% power at a two tailed alpha=0.05 level to detect a minimum difference in change in RH-PAT score of 0.36 between treatment groups.

Endothelial function was measured using peripheral arterial tonometry expressed as the reactive hyperemia index. The index is derived from the ratio of the post-to-pre occlusion peripheral arterial tonometry signal amplitude of the tested arm, divided by the post -to-pre occlusion ratio of the control arm. Median within subject change in endothelial function as measured by reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry index in each group is presented.
