NCT03270709

Brief Summary

Supplementation with vitamin D improves HIV+ macrophages phagocytosis in vitro. There is evidence to suggest that administering vitamin D can in fact improve immune function in individuals. The study will evaluate the impact of high dose vitamin D in HIV+ smokers' and HIV- smokers' in vivo. The primary goal is to improve innate immune host response to infection in patients already at high risk by virtue of HIV and smoking status.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Difference in alveolar macrophage (AM) phagocytic index between HIV+ smokers compared to HIV- non-smokers.

    A phagocytic index will be determined by challenging AM isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to Staph. Aureus in vitro.

    Day 1 of the study prior to vitamin D administration.

  • Difference in phagocytosis percent positive between HIV+ smokers compared to HIV- non-smokers, prior to vitamin D administration.

    Difference in phagocytosis percent positive between HIV+ smokers compared to HIV- non-smokers will be calculated.

    Day 1 of the study prior to vitamin D administration.

  • Difference in alveolar macrophage (AM) phagocytic index before and after vitamin D administration.

    A phagocytic index will be determined by challenging AM isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to Staph. Aureus in vitro.

    Day 1 of the study prior to vitamin D administration, Day 7 after vitamin D administration

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Difference in total and free vitamin D (25(OH) D) between HIV+ smokers compared to HIV- non-smokers, prior to vitamin D administration.

    Day 1 of the study prior to vitamin D administration.

  • Difference in peptide LL-37 between HIV+ smokers compared to HIV- non-smokers, prior to vitamin D administration.

    Day 1 of the study prior to vitamin D administration.

  • Difference in tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) between HIV+ smokers compared to HIV- non-smokers, prior to vitamin D administration.

    Day 1 of the study prior to vitamin D administration.

  • Difference in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression of LL-37 between HIV+ smokers compared to HIV- non-smokers, prior to vitamin D administration.

    Day 1 of the study prior to vitamin D administration.

  • Difference in alveolar oxidative stress between HIV+ smokers compared to HIV- non-smokers, prior to vitamin D administration.

    Day 1 of the study prior to vitamin D administration.

  • +5 more secondary outcomes
