Multiple sclerosis characterized by clearly defined attacks of new or increasing neurologic symptoms. These attacks are followed by periods of partial or complete recovery (remissions). |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Vitamin D is important risk factor for developing multiple sclerosis (MS) and for disease progression. Patients with MS who had lower vitamin D levels were at increased risk for more clinical attacks and faster disease progression. It was also shown that patients with MS had lower vitamin D levels in serum than heathy controls. It is not clearly defined, which are the levels of vitamin D in serum, that are high enough to trigger immunomodulatory effect and are safe for patients. This double-blind randomised clinical trial was designed to compare impact of vitamin D supplemetation in two different doses (1000 IU/day vs 4000 IU/day) in patients with relapsing remitting MS. The main goal of this trial is to show, which dose triggers immunomodulatory effect and it will be suitable for patients with MS to use during winter time, when the vitamin D levels are especially low. To define immunomodulatory response different laboratory, clinical and genetic tests will be performed.

Vitamin D je pomemben dejavnik tveganja za nastanek in potek multiple skleroze (MS). Bolniki z MS, ki so imeli nižje vrednosti vitamina D v krvi, so utrpeli več kliničnih zagonov in hitrejši progres bolezni. Ti bolniki imajo že v osnovi nižje vrednosti vitamina D v krvi kot zdrava populacija. Kljub vsem raziskavam pa še vedno ni jasno, kateri je tisti nivo vitamina D v serumu, ki sproži imunomodulatorni učinek in je hkrati varen za bolnike. Ta randomizirana dvojno slepa raziskava je bila zasnovana z namenom, da primerja vpliv nadomeščanja vitamina D v dveh različnih odmerkih (1000IU/dan in 4000IU/dan) pri bolnikih z recidivno remitentno obliko MS. Glavni cilj je dokazati, kateri od teh dveh odmerkov je tisti, ki sproži imunomodulatorni učinek in bi bil primeren za nadomeščanje tekom zimskih mesecev, ko so vrednosti vitamina D v krvi bolnikov z MS še posebej nizke. Za dokaz imunomodulatornega učinka bomo uporabili različne laboratorijske, klinične in genetske teste.

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of this clinical trial are to: • measure basic level of vitamin D in serum in patients with MS during winter time, • perform the genotypization of selected SNP's and try to determine pharmacogenomic linkage with effect of vitamin D supplementation, • measure gene expression of products of Th17 cells and their co-factors, • measure microRNA expression (miR-155) before and after vitamin D supplementation.
|
Drugi cilji raziskave so: • izmeriti osnovni nivo vitamina D pri bolnikih z MS v zimskem času, • opraviti genotipizacijo iz znanstvene literature izbranih SNP-jev in ugotoviti farmakogenomsko povezavo z odzivom na terapijo z nadomeščanjem vitamina D; • izmeriti izražanje genov, ki so ključni v delovanju produktov Th17 celic in njihovih kofaktorjev, • izmeriti izražanje miR-155 pred in po terapiji z nadomeščanjem vitamina D.
