An interventional study of vitamin D in ANCA-associated Vasculitis, Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis and Microscopic Polyangiitis, sponsored by Christian Pagnoux. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-03-14.
Sponsored by Christian Pagnoux · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
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).
Exclusion criteria:
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.
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
Disease activity and disease relapse (using BVAS)
Number of patients with active disease (BVAS score) or disease relapse (new item on the BVAS, in patients previously in remission) between enrollment and month 12, according to the study arm intervention (normal baseline vitamin D level vs. low baseline level and asked to increase vitamin D intake)
Time frame: 12 months
Renal function (GFR)
Number of patients with progressive renal AAV-related disease (worsening GFR) in each study arm between enrollments and month 12
Time frame: 12 Months
Cardiovascular events
Number of patients with cardiovascular events (IM, stroke) in each study arm between enrollments and month 12
Time frame: 12 Months
Interstitial lung disease diagnosis or progression (imaging and PFT)
Number of patients with new diagnosis of ILD or worsening of ILD in each study arm (based on clinical, and either imaging and/or PFT findings) between enrollments and month 12
Time frame: 12 Months
Glucocorticoid use (and cumulative dose, mg)
Use of glucocorticoids (including cumulative dose) in each study arm between enrollment and month 12
Time frame: 12 months
