Scientific titleA prospective study of loss of bone mineral density in patients with HIV over time: implications for clinical practice and therapeutic options - Vitamin D sub study
Study objectivesTo explore the effects and potential benefits of high doses of vitamin D supplementation on various parameters of the immune system
Ethics approval(s)NRES Committee London - Westminster, approval pending
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
InterventionThere are no treatment arms, there are 3 cohorts: HIV positive (on treatment), HIV Positive (Naive), HIV Negative. All are given 200,000 units stat colecalciferol at baseline and followed up over a 12 week period by doing physical exam, blood samples and urine samples.
Intervention typeSupplement
Primary outcome measure1. Efficacy: level in serum vitamin D levels to be above those at baseline
2. Safety:
2.1. Routine: serum renal, liver, bone, glucose, Full Blood Count (FBC)
2.2. Vital signs including blood pressure (BP), pulse, temperature
2.3. Renal: urine dipstix (blood, protein, leukocytes, glucose), urine protein/creatinine (PCR)
2.4. Bone biochemisty to include: Vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
Samples obtained at baseline, week 4 and week 12
Secondary outcome measuresNo secondary outcome measures
