Clinical Trials

1 The LEAD COVID-19 Trial: Low-risk, Early Aspirin and Vitamin D to Reduce COVID-19 Hospitalizations

Although the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVD-19) is classified as an acute respiratory infection, emerging data show that morbidity and mortality are driven by disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. Untreated CAC leads to microangiopathic thromboses, causing multiple systems organ failure and consuming enormous healthcare resources. Identifying strategies to prevent CAC are therefore crucial to reducing COVID-19 hospitalization rates. The pathogenesis of CAC is unknown, but there are major overlaps between severe COVID-19 and vitamin D insufficiency (VDI). We hypothesize that VDI is a major underlying contributor to CAC. Preliminary data from severe COVID-19 patients in New Orleans support this hypothesis. The purpose of the proposed multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial is to test the hypothesis that low-risk, early treatment with aspirin and vitamin D in COVID-19 can mitigate the prothrombotic state and reduce hospitalization rates.

HPO:Disseminated intravascular coagulation Low levels of vitamin D

2 Investigating the Role of Vitamin D in the Morbidity of COVID-19 Patients

The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-2019) pandemic is an enormous health issue of worldwide scale. Prevention and/or treatment with a widely-available and already-licensed product such as vitamin D (cholecalciferol) could have a large impact on healthcare worldwide. Given ethnic variation in vitamin D production, this could help to address the discrepancies in how people of different ethnicities are affected by COVID-19. There are currently no published studies analysing either individual-level evidence on the effect of vitamin D status on COVID-19 outcomes, or any prospective studies planning on following-up patients with reference to vitamin D and COVID-19 infection. The study will have 2 arms. Arm 1 will recruit patients hospitalised with COVID-19. Vitamin D levels will be measured in these patients and compared with outcome measures of COVID-19 severity. In Arm 2, patients will be recruited prospectively from local general practices (GPs) with measurement of vitamin D levels at enrolment. They will be followed up after 6 months to determine whether baseline vitamin D levels correspond with developing COVID-19. Data will be collected from a mixture of patient medical records, electronic patient records, laboratory data and from patients themselves. Data in Arm 1 will be analysed with a combination of linear and logistic regression, as appropriate, and with adjustment for covariates. Data in Arm 2 will be analysed as a case-control study, with adjustment for covariates. The primary objectives are to determine whether vitamin D levels affect outcomes in COVID-19 infection and whether vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased risk.

3 Cohort Study to Determine the Association Between Vitamin D Deficiency and Severity of the Disease in Patients With Coronarvirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

In this prospective observational study we aim to study the association of vitamin D deficiency with adverse clinical outcomes in patients infected with Coronavirus disease 2019

NCT04403932 Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

MeSH:Coronavirus Infections Vitamin D Deficiency

HPO:Low levels of vitamin D

4 Vitamin D Testing and Treatment for Adults With COVID 19

This study will measure vitamin D levels in adults with COVID 19. Participants with low levels of vitamin D will be entered into an open label trial of supplementation with vitamin D.
