E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main research question is to evaluate the effect of Calcitriol treatment as compared to placebo on left ventricular mass in patients with type 2 diabetes, left ventricular hyperthrophy and chronic kidney disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy is a marker and predictor of cardiovascular disease risk. Left ventricular mass will be assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Interventions that reduce left ventricular hypertrophy may prevent cardiovascular disease. Currently it is not known if treatment with Calcitriol can affect left ventricular mass in patients with diabetes, left ventricular hypertrophy and kidney disease. We wish to study the effect of Calcitriol or placebo as add on treatment to existing medical treatments on left ventricular mass in a placebo controlled double blind study. Patients will continue with other medical treatments for their diabetes and kidney disease. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary research questions will be to evaluate the effect of Calcitriol treatment as compared to placebo on interstitial myocardial fibrosis. Other secondary questions will be to compare the effect of calcitriol and placebo on augmentation left ventricular end-systolic volume, left ventricular end diastolic volume, left ventricular ejection fraction, pulse wave velocity by MRI, and if no contraindication exists cardiac perfusion. Similar to the left ventricular mass measurements all these determinations are also non invasive. Other secondary endpoints questions include blood pressure, pulse wave velocity by applanation tonometry, kidney function as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate, changes in calcium and phosphate levels in the blood and hormones involved in regulating bone metabolism and blood pressure and quality of life as measured by a questionnaire. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
A sub study of the VItamin D in left VentrIcular hypertrophy Diabetes (VIVID) trial to investigate the effects of active vitamin D on endothelial function in patients with type 2 diabetes and stage 3 chronic kidney disease.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary end point will be left ventricular mass index. The primary population used in this assessment will be the intention to treat population. The primary population used in these assessments will be the intention to treat population. Baseline is defined as visit 2. Endpoint will be defined as the last available post-baseline measurement of left ventricular mass index (up to and including visit 11). |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The trial comprise a pre screening (-6 weeks) visit that precedes the randomization visit when patients will be randomised. The patients will then be followed up for 48 weeks and will be seen at 9 visits specifically at weeks: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 48. The primary population used in these assessments will be the intention to treat population. Baseline is defined as visit 2. Endpoint will be defined as the last available post-baseline measurement of left ventricular mass index (up to and including visit 11). |
