May 15, 2017 updated by: Cameleia Diah Setyorini, Saiful Anwar Hospital

Effect Of Curcuma Xanthorrhiza Supplementation In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients (SLE) With Hypovitamin D Which Were Given Vitamin D3 Towards Disease Activity (SLEDAI), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) And Tumor Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1) Serum

This a double blind randomised controlled trial (RCT) to determine the effect of Curcuma Xanthorrhiza supplementation on vitamin D3 administration to disease activity (SLEDAI), IL-6 and TGF-β1 serum in SLE patients with hypovitamin D. SLE patients with hypovitamin D had milder disease activity, lower IL-6 and higher TGF-β1 serum level when supplemented with Curcuma Xanthorrhiza and vitamin D3 compared with vitamin D3 and placebo.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Cholecalciferol 1200 IU supplementation for 3 months in hypovitamin D SLE patients, decrease SLEDAI, however, it has not reached the mild activity and remission yet. Curcumin contained in Curcuma Xanthorrhiza; is an immunomodulator that has similar biological effect with vitamin D. Combination of curcumin and vitamin D are expected to work synergistically.

The subjects who fulfilled inclusion criteria, willing to participate in the research and signed the informed consent were 40 patients. Research subjects were randomized using simple randomization. The subjects were divided into 2 groups: the group receiving 3×400 IU cholecalciferol and 3×1 tablet placebo (group I, n=20), and the group receiving 3×400 IU and curcumin (Curcuma Xanthorrhiza) 3x20 mg for 3 months (group II, n=20).

Fifteen cc of venous blood samples were taken for complete blood tests, liver function (SGOT/SGPT), renal function (ureum/creatinine), vitamin D (25(OH)D), calcium, anti-dsDNA, C3, C4, IL-6 and serum TGF-β1. Examination of vitamin D levels using Enzyme Immuno Assay method (Diasorin Inc, Stillwater, MN USA), anti-dsDNA levels using ELISA (Bioluminescenassay), C3, C4, IL-6 and serum TGF-β1 using ELISA (Biolegend). Proteinuria was examined using a urine spot sample while with enzymatic-turbidimetric methods. SLE disease activity was assessed using SLEDAI score. Laboratory and SLEDAI examination were performed at the beginning of the study and the end of the study; except for the serum calcium levels examined each month to determine the side effects of the drug.

Patients continue to receive the usual immunosuppressive drugs (corticosteroids, chloroquine, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, and cyclosporine), as well as calcium, antihypertensive drugs and other routine medications. Regular drugs, cholecalciferol, Curcuma Xanthorrhiza and placebo, are administered by a physician in the Rheumatology Outpatient Clinic who is not a member of the research team in different examination rooms.

The results are presented in mean ± standard deviation, median (IQR 25-75%) and n (%). The homogeneity test of variance using Levene. The Saphiro-Wilk test is used to determine the normality of the data, assuming the normality of the data is fulfilled if p> 0.05. Different tests after treatment in both study groups used a non-paired/Mann-Whitney test. The influence between variables was tested using Spearman/Pearson correlation test. Data analysis uses Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Software version 22 (SPSS Inc, Chicago IL). Differences and correlations are said to be significant when the value of p <0.05.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
