Scientific titleImpact of vitamin D supplementation on left ventricular mass on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and immune regulation in chronic kidney disease: a randomised placebo-controlled trial
Study acronymThe 5C study
Study objectivesNative vitamin D repletion results in immune modulation and regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in vitamin D deficient non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
Ethics approval(s)North London Research Ethics Committee (REC) 3, 02/06/2010, ref: 10/H0709/56
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 3b and 4)
InterventionOral cholecalciferol therapy 100,000 IU at week 0, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 42 or matching placebo.
Intervention typeSupplement
Primary outcome measure1. 10g improvement in left ventricular mass (LVM) with oral vitamin D therapy over 1 year
2. Difference in LVM in patients treated with vitamin D compared to controls

Measured at 52 weeks from enrolment.
Secondary outcome measures1. Reduction in cardiac fibrosis determined by biomarkers of cardiac fibrosis in serum post vitamin D3 therapy
2. Augmentation of adaptive immune response to Hepatitis B vaccination post oral vitamin D3 supplementation
3. Immune regulation with predominantly antiinflammatory response with oral vitamin D3 therapy
4. Measured at 52 weeks from enrolment.
Overall study start date10/01/2011
Completion date10/03/2013

Editorial Notes

13/12/2019: The following changes have been made:
1. Publication reference added.
2. The final enrolment number has been added from the reference.
3. The condition has been changed from "Non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 3b and 4)" to "Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 3b and 4)" and the condition category changed from 'Urological and Genital diseases' to 'Circulatory System'.
11/12/2019: The intention to publish date has been added.
13/12/2017: No publications found, verifying study status with principal investigator.
