A Study on Prevention Strategies for CKD-SHPT and Related Complications Based on General Vitamin D Supplementation

Summary

1. Study content: This is a multicentre, double-blind, randomised controlled study to determine the optimal dose and duration of treatment for the correction of vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency in patients with CKD5d; to investigate whether vitamin D supplementation delays the increase in PTH levels in this group of patients; and to investigate the effects on changes in CKD-MBD-related markers, cardiovascular complications, cognitive function in this group of patients. 2. Study procedure: Based on the inclusion and exclusion of the patients, the study was conducted in accordance with the following criteria
2. Study procedure: Eligible subjects were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided into three groups: high-dose vitamin D group, low-dose vitamin D group and control group. Baseline data were collected before the intervention and each group was given different doses of regular vitamin D2 softgels or placebo and followed up. 25(OH)D, PTH, blood Ca, and blood P levels were measured every month; bone metabolism markers, FGF23, and blood counts, liver function, kidney function, lipids, and blood glucose were measured every 3 months; the prevalence of vascular calcification, the incidence of cardiovascular events, and changes in cognitive function scale scores were assessed 6 months after the intervention.

Conditions

• Chronic Kidney Disease 5D
• Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Due to Renal Causes
• Vitamin D Deficiency

Interventions

DRUG

High-dose vitamin D2 softgels

5000U/capsule of vitamin D2 soft capsule; High-dose VD group 50,000 U/week, 5 vitamin D2 softgels given twice a week each time; 25(OH)D \> 80ng/ml after 3 months of intervention or within 3 months in both groups, changed to 5,000 U/ weekly maintenance until the full 6 months of intervention. To prevent unmasking, the maintenance dose was still given twice weekly (the first time 1 vitamin D2 capsule + 4 placebo capsules were given and the second time 5 placebo capsules were given)

DRUG

low-dose vitamin D2 softgels

5000U/capsule of vitamin D2 soft capsule; low-dose VD group 25,000 U/week, 3 vitamin D2 softgels + 2 placebo in the first dose, 2 vitamin D2 softgels + 3 placebo in the second dose, 25(OH)D \> 80ng/ml after 3 months of intervention or within 3 months in both groups, changed to 5,000 U/ weekly maintenance until the full 6 months of intervention. To prevent unmasking, the maintenance dose was still given twice weekly (the first time 1 vitamin D2 capsule + 4 placebo capsules were given and the second time 5 placebo capsules were given);

DRUG

placebo

placebo was filled with excipients (aniseed ether, refined vegetable oil), and the shape and size were the same as vitamin D2 soft capsule.the control group was given placebo, 5 placebo capsules twice weekly for 6 months of the intervention. The medication was dispensed by a designated person (not the investigator) in advance and independently according to the patient's medication number (only the drug number was provided on the outer packaging).
