Official Title: | Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial of the Safety and Effectiveness of Vitamin D Supplement to Improve Tubular Reabsorption of Phosphate and Decrease Bone Turnover in Adolescents and Young Adults With HIV Infection Being Treated With Antiretroviral Therapy Containing Tenofovir Compared to Those Being Treated With Antiretroviral Therapy Not Containing Tenofovir |

Actual Primary Completion Date : | January 2010 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | January 2010 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: A: tenofovir/vitamin D
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), 50,000 IU as a single capsule, will be administered orally to subjects in Group A (who are already taking Tenofovir) once every four weeks during study visits.
|
Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D supplement
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), 50,000 IU as a single capsule, will be administered orally to subjects in Groups A and C once every four weeks during study visits. |
Placebo Comparator: B: tenofovir/placebo
A placebo will be administered orally to subjects in Group B (who are already taking Tenofovir).
|
Other: Placebo
A placebo will be administered orally to subjects in Groups B and D once every four weeks during study visits. |
Experimental: C: no tenofovir/vitamin D
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), 50,000 IU as a single capsule, will be administered orally to subjects in Group C (who are not taking Tenofovir) once every four weeks during study visits.

- To compare the change in renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate and markers of bone turnover. [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4, Week 12 ]
- To measure the safety of 50,000 IU dose of vitamin D3 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8 ]
- To measure the relationship of vitamin D plasma concentrations to renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate and markers of bone turnover [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 12 ]
- To measure the relationship of tenofovir exposure to renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate and markers of bone turnover [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 12 ]
- To measure the change in tenofovir exposure and creatinine clearance [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 12 ]
