NCT02426840

Brief Summary

Since there is no cure for HIV, therefore antiretroviral therapy must be taken life-long. Some of the HIV medications can negatively impact the health of the bone and is even more exacerbated in perinatally HIV-injected children and adolescents because this is the period when the bone peaks. Bone loss during this period can be devastating and increase the risk for developing weak bones later in life. Supplementation of calcium and vitamin D have not been well studied in HIV-infected children and adolescents in developing countries. Therefore it is not clear whether higher doses of these supplementations can thwart the damages or not.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • lumbar spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD)

    To compare the changes in lumbar spine BMD in perinatally HIV-infected children and adolescents receives 48-week of calcium and high-dose vitamin D supplementation with that of children and adolescents receiving 48-week of calcium and normal dose vitamin D supplementation.

    48 weeks

Study Arms (2)

High dose vitamin D and calcium

EXPERIMENTAL

Fixed-dose combination (FDC) of 1,500 mg of calcium carbonate (equivalent to 600 mg of elemental calcium) and 200 IU of vitamin D3, administered orally twice daily plus vitamin D2 (20,000 IU/cap) administered once weekly (a total of 1,200 mg of elemental calcium and 3,200 IU of vitamin D daily)

Dietary Supplement: High dose vitamin D and calcium

Normal dose vitamin D and calcium

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Fixed-dose combination (FDC) of 1,500 mg of calcium carbonate (equivalent to 600 mg of elemental calcium) and 200 IU of vitamin D3, administered orally twice daily (a total of 1,200 mg of elemental calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D daily)

Dietary Supplement: Normal dose vitamin D and calcium

Interventions

participants will receive a FDC tablet containing 1500 mg of calcium carbonate (equivalent to 600 mg of elemental calcium) and 200 IU of vitamin D3. This drug will be administered as 1 tablet orally twice daily and is to be taken with food. In addition, participants will receive vitamin D2 capsule containing 20,000 IU of ergocalciferol, which will be administered as 1 capsule orally once weekly at any time (not related with meal).

High dose vitamin D and calcium

participants will receive a FDC tablet containing 1500 mg of calcium carbonate (equivalent to 600 mg of elemental calcium) and 200 IU of vitamin D3. This drug will be administered as 1 tablet orally twice daily and is to be taken with food

Normal dose vitamin D and calcium

  • Participants who have received any form of calcium greater than 1000 mg/day of elemental calcium at least once within 6 months prior screening.
  • Participants who have received any form of vitamin D (e.g., ergocalciferol or cholecalciferol) supplementation greater than 400 IU/day at least once within 6 months prior to screening.
  • Participants who have received any past pharmacologic treatment for low bone density or osteoporosis (e.g., alendronate) at any time prior to screening.
  • Participants who have a documented history of growth hormone deficiency at any time or using growth hormone within 6 months prior to screening.
  • Participants who have a documented history of primary hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, or cushing syndrome at any time prior to screening.

  • Participants who have a documented prior history of chronic active liver diseases, or liver impairment (alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\] \>100 IU/L at least 2 times within 6 months).
  • Participants who have a documented prior history of thalassemia major (homozygous β-Thalassemia or β-Thalassemia/Hemoglobin E) or sickle cell disease.
  • Participants use any oral, intravenous, or inhaled steroids within 6 months prior to study entry (intranasal steroid use is allowed).
  • Participants who have received anticonvulsant medications (phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine), methotrexate, within 6 months prior to screening.
  • Pregnancy or breast feeding
  • Participants who have any condition that, in the opinion of the site investigator, would compromise the subject's ability to participate in the study.
