About this study

Official title: Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial of the Safety and Effectiveness of Vitamin D Supplement to Improve Tubular Reabsorption of Phosphate and Decrease Bone Turnover in Adolescents and Young Adults With HIV Infection Being Treated With Antiretroviral Therapy Containing Tenofovir Compared to Those Being Treated With Antiretroviral Therapy Not Containing Tenofovir

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of Vitamin D on renal phosphate and bone loss, which are common in HIV infected adolescents and young adults being treated with tenofovir.

Read the detailed description

ATN 063 tests the hypothesis that in a population of adolescents and young adults with HIV infection who are being treated with tenofovir as part of an antiretroviral (ARV) combination regimen, vitamin D supplementation will decrease renal phosphate loss, increase plasma phosphate, decrease plasma PTH, and improve markers of bone turnover, including a decrease in plasma N-telopeptide and BAP.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To compare the change in renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate and markers of bone turnover.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 12

  2. To measure the safety of 50,000 IU dose of vitamin D3

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To measure the relationship of vitamin D plasma concentrations to renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate and markers of bone turnover

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 12

  2. To measure the relationship of tenofovir exposure to renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate and markers of bone turnover

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 12

  3. To measure the change in tenofovir exposure and creatinine clearance

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 12

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To compare the change in renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate and markers of bone turnover. (time frame: Baseline, Week 4, Week 12). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00490412, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
