Brief Summary

Research has suggested that children with sufficient vitamin D levels undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) have improved outcomes, including lower incidences of infection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), as well as overall improved survival. However, supplementation in children undergoing HSCT has shown to be a challenge using standard or aggressive supplementation strategies. The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a single, high dose oral vitamin D (Stoss Therapy) at the start of transplant followed by maintenance supplementation in children undergoing HSCT.

Conditions

Vitamin D Deficiency; Stem Cell Transplant Complications; Pediatric Cancer; Blood Disorder; Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Pediatric Acute Lymphoid Leukemia; Myelodysplastic Syndromes; Sickle Cell Anemia in Children; Aplastic Anemia; Thalassemia in Children

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Safety of Stoss Therapy

  In order to monitor the safety of stoss therapy, patients will be monitored for any clinical signs or symptoms of hypervitaminosis D, including abdominal pain, dehydration, and fatigue. Patients will be monitored for hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia with weekly complete metabolic panels and serum phosphorus during the first 100 days of transplant. Patients will have repeat measurements of serum 25(OH)D levels will be obtained at Day +30 to ensure they do not have hypervitaminosis D at that time.

  100 days

• Efficacy of vitamin D repletion

  All patients will have baseline serum 25(OH)D levels obtained prior to transplant. At baseline, patient will be classified as being sufficient (\>30ng/mL), insufficient (21- 29ng/mL), or deficient (\<20ng/mL) in serum vitamin D. All patients will then undergo treatment based on their trial arm and baseline levels of vitamin D. Patients will have repeat measurements of serum 25(OH)D levels will be obtained at Day +100 of transplant. At this time they will again be classified as being sufficient (\>30ng/mL), insufficient (21- 29ng/mL), or deficient (\<20ng/mL) in serum vitamin D following therapy to assess if the therapy was efficacious in repleting and maintaining their serum vitamin D level.

Study Arms (2)

Single, high dose oral vitamin D3

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will take a single oral dose of vitamin D3 based on age and initial vitamin D level. A patient will be classified as sufficient, insufficient, or deficient at the start of therapy. Following this dose, patients will also be given standard vitamin D3 supplementation according to current Endocrine Society Guidelines.

Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D3; Dietary Supplement: Standard Vitamin D3 Supplementation

Standard Vitamin D Supplementation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will be given standard vitamin D3 supplementation during transplant in accordance with standard of care per Endocrine Society Guidelines. This supplementation is based on a patient's initial vitamin D level.

Dietary Supplement: Standard Vitamin D3 Supplementation

Interventions

Vitamin D3 DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

The single, oral dose of vitamin D3 is based on patient's age and baseline 25-hydroxy-vitamin D level. Dosing is as follows: (1) For children under 3 years of age. 200000IU for those deficient, 150000IU for those insufficient, and 100000IU for those sufficient; (2) For children 3-12 years of age, 400000IU for those deficient, 350000IU for those insufficient, and 200000IU for those sufficient; (3) For children greater than 12 years of age, 600000IU for those deficient, 500000IU for those insufficient, and 300000IU for those sufficient. This is a single, one time oral dose given prior to the start of transplant.

Single, high dose oral vitamin D3

Standard Vitamin D3 Supplementation DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Those who have sufficient vitamin D will be supplemented with 400-600IU/day of Vitamin D3 orally. Those who have insufficient or are deficient in vitamin D will be supplemented with 50,000IU/week of Vitamin D3 orally.
