Trial Outcomes & Findings for Intervention With Vitamin D and Omega-3 Supplements and Incident Heart Failure (NCT NCT02271230)

NCT ID: NCT02271230

Last Updated: 2022-03-18

Results Overview

We will consider any hospitalization for heart failure among participants enrolled in the parent VITAL trial for this ancillary study. Incident heart failure are initially captured through annual questionnaires with subsequent validation by a team of physicians with expertise in cardiovascular medicine and epidemiology. We excluded 36 participants with prevalent heart failure at the time of randomization for the primary analysis.

Participant Flow

A total of 401605 adults were initially screened; 39430 eligible to enter run-in; 25871 eligible for randomization; 2x2 factorial design: 12927 assigned to active vit D (of these, 6463 were assigned to active omega-3 FAs and 6464 to placebo omega-3 FAs) \& 12944 assigned to placebo vit D (of these, 6470 were assigned to active omega-3 FAs and 6474 to placebo omega-3 FAs)

The trial included a 3-month placebo run-in period to select participants likely to have excellent compliance. Only individuals who reported taking at least 2/3 of their study pills during the run-in and met other eligibility criteria were randomized into the trial.
