History of Changes
  Purpose

This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, 6-month follow-up trial of low (200 IU/day) versus high (2000 IU/day) dose vitamin D supplementation in individuals with pre- and early stage 1 hypertension and vitamin D deficiency. A total of 530 participants (265 participants per treatment arm) will be randomized between 3 sites. Approximately 2,250 participants will be screened between the 3 sites. Vital signs, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, clinical laboratory safety tests and adverse event assessments will be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the two doses of vitamin D on blood pressure. Blood samples will be stored for future biomarker assessments. The total duration of the study is anticipated to be 18 months, assuming a 12 month enrollment period.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The primary endpoint is defined as the change in mean 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure. [ Time Frame: 24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in mean 24-hour ambulatory diastolic blood pressure [ Time Frame: 24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in mean daytime and nighttime ambulatory systolic and diastolic blood pressure [ Time Frame: 24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in mean clinic systolic and diastolic blood pressure [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in mean clinic pulse pressure [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Relation of vitamin D status to changes in clinic and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: High Dose Arm
4000 IU/day Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation
 Drug: Cholecalciferol
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 200 IU and 2000 IU drops will be supplied by D Drops. It is supplied as a liquid containing 400 drops/bottle with a potency of 200 IU/drop or 2000 IU/drop. The contents of the label will be in accordance with all applicable regulatory requirements. The droppers are gravity-metered to deliver a consistent drop size (dosage). Two drops (either 200 IU or 2000 IU) of Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is to be taken orally once-daily.
