PRagmatic Analysis of Vitamin D in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

Study Purpose

This prospective study will assess if 12 months of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation, in patients with AAV (GPA, MPA, and EGPA) who have deficient or insufficient 25(OH)D3 status at enrollment, correlates with improved disease activity and/or lower frequency of relapse (compared to historical data and a previously conducted cross sectional study (part I) that assessed vitamin D status in a cohort of similar patients).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT04280601
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	N/A

Additional Details

1. Subject cohorts: Patients with a diagnosis of AAV from the MSH Rheumatology clinic in a cohort of consecutive patients over a 3 month recruitment period. 2. Study Design, Data Collection: Patients with insufficient and/or deficient vitamin D status at study enrolment will be instructed to take 12 months of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation (1000 IU for those not on vitamin D, or to increase the dose up to 2000 IU per day for those already on vitamin D) vs.#46; those with sufficient status who will be observed for 12-months. 3. Study Duration: 12 months. 4. Study Endpoints: Vitamin D status vs.#46; disease activity.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Other: Low vitamin level at baseline

At specific time points we will measure vitamin D status (baseline and 12-months) and re-enforcing vitamin D supplementation in those with insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels. More specifically, we will ask patients with insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels at enrollment to increase vitamin D intake by 1,000 IU units (to a maximum of 2,000 IU if the patient is already on vitamin D supplementation) for the 12 month period.

Interventions

Dietary Supplement: - vitamin D

Patients with insufficient and/or deficient vitamin D status (<75 nmol/L) at study enrolment will be instructed to take a 12-month supply of vitamin D3 supplementation (to a maximum of 2,000 IU/day) vs. those with sufficient status will be observed for 12-months
