Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pharmacokinetics of Vitamin D in Multiple Sclerosis and in Health (NCT NCT01667796)

NCT ID: NCT01667796

Last Updated: 2019-03-05

Results Overview

Generalized estimating equations (GEE) with an autoregressive with lag one correlation matrix were used to compare the serially-measured serum 25(OH)D levels between MS patients and Healthy Controls (HCs) to take into account repeated measures and within-subject correlations.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 90 days

Generalized estimating equations (GEE) with an autoregressive with lag one correlation matrix were used to compare the serially-measured serum 25(OH)D levels between MS patients and Healthy Controls (HCs) to take into account repeated measures and within-subject correlations.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 90 days

Analyzed the mean percentage change in IFNγ+ and IL-17+ cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) + cells (post- versus pre- supplementation). This represents a change between two time points (90 days versus baseline).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 days

Population: We had initially planned to do whole blood gene expression. The experience gained by the laboratory that was to perform this since the original trial was planned was that this measure is too noisy and would not yield meaningful results. Thus, this analysis will no longer be conducted.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 days

Population: Cytokine levels data were not analyzed and are no longer planned to be measured as outcomes.

The original plan had been to measure the change in basic serum cytokine levels (e.g. IL-17, interferon gamma; IL-10; pg/microliter). However, due to emerging data suggesting low utility of these measures, this plan was abandoned.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 days

Population: B Cell data were not analyzed and are no longer planned to be measured as outcomes.

The change in percentage (day 90-baseline) was originally planned for study. Due to the limited number of patients with samples this plan was abandoned.
