Vitamin D Replacement in Bronchiectasis

August 9, 2024 updated by: Kwok Wang Chun, Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong

Prospective Clinical Study on Vitamin D Replacement in Bronchiectasis - A Pilot Study

This study seeks to address the limitations in previous related studies on vitamin D replacement and bronchiectasis exacerbation occurrence through a self-controlled pilot study. The investigators aim to investigate whether vitamin D replacement in bronchiectasis patients with vitamin D deficiency can reduce hospitalized bronchiectasis exacerbation occurrence. Patients who participated in the prior study entitled "Prospective clinical study on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH D) level and risk of bronchiectasis exacerbation" (UW 22-317) will be invited for participation during regular clinic follow-up and management in Queen Mary Hospital. If participants are willing to join the further research, participants will be recruited in this self-controlled study. There are some differences from usual management to non-CF bronchiectasis subjects. The study subjects would be checked for their blood 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level during the study period. The non-CF bronchiectasis subjects with Vitamin D deficiency would be given 1000 IU and 2000 IU (if needed). The investigators aim to correct their Vitamin D deficiency completely, aiming at blood 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level >=50, i.e. treat to target. The dose depends on the level of Vitamin D after replacement. If blood 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level is 50 or above, then 1000 IU is suffice. If blood 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level is still below 50, the investigators will increase to 2000 IU.

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. ages 18 years or above, male or female.
  2. confirmed diagnosis of non-CF bronchiectasis based on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan.
  3. participation in the prior study entitled "Prospective clinical study on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH D) level and risk of bronchiectasis exacerbation" (UW 22-317)

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. underlying asthma, COPD and other co-existing respiratory diseases
  2. underlying osteoporosis

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Active Comparator: Vitamin D replacement
Those with vitamin D deficiency will be replaced with vitamin D3 at 1000 IU at the first visit. Vitamin D3 1000 IU is expected to increase blood 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level by 25 nmol/L. Blood 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level will be rechecked 3 months after replacement. If the blood 25-hydroxyvitamin-D level is still below 50 nmol/L, the vitamin D3 replacement dosage will be increased to 2000 IU.
Drug: Vitamin D3
The non-CF bronchiectasis subjects with Vitamin D deficiency would be given 1000 IU and 2000 IU.
No Intervention: Vitamin D non-deficiency
No drug will be given to patients with Vitamin D non-deficiency.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of patients who develop hospitalized bronchiectasis exacerbation
Time Frame: From 1-year period before baseline to 12 months
The proportion of patients who develop hospitalized bronchiectasis exacerbation during the follow-up period of 12 months, when compared with the 1-year period before.
From 1-year period before baseline to 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score
Time Frame: From baseline to 6 and 12 months.
Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more limitations.
From baseline to 6 and 12 months.
Change in bronchiectasis impact measure (BIM) score
Time Frame: From baseline to 6 and 12 months.
A score ranges from 0 to 10 for each of eight domains consists of cough, sputum, breathlessness, tiredness, activity, general health, control, and exacerbation, with 10 being most severe.
From baseline to 6 and 12 months.
Change in Bronchiectasis Health Questionnaire (BHQ) score
Time Frame: From baseline to 6 and 12 months.
The instrument comprises 10 questions, each scored on a 7-point scale, to assess quality of life related to bronchiectasis on individuals for a recall period of 2 weeks. The total score ranges from 10 to 70, with a lower score indicating a more negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
From baseline to 6 and 12 months.
