Authorised Therapeutic use (Phase IV) Vitamin D3 deficiency

Efficacy comparison of two doses of vitamin D3 in critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy - NephroD

EU CTIS ID: 2024-510834-42-00

What this study is testing

To evaluate and compare the effect of two different supplementation doses of vitamin D3 (25 (OH) D3) - 500,000 IU and 750,000 IU on the serum concentration of 25 (OH) D3 administered once enterally (througha gastric tuber or orally) in ICU patients with severe vitamin D3 deficiency undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy.

  • Sarcoidosis
  • Risk of impaired intestinal absorption in critical illness associated with at least one of the mentioned: impaired intestinal motility and delayed gastric emptying, constipation, diarrhea, intestinal hypoperfusion in shock, intoxication with subsequent intestinal edema after fluid resuscitation, changes in the intestinal microbiome.
  • Hypercalcemia (total calcium >11 mg/dL or >2,7mmol/L)
