Brief Summary:

Obesity has been associated with a specific non-allergic asthma phenotype and to a deficiency of vitamin D in at least 90% of the pediatric population. Adolescents with non-allergic asthma and vitamin D deficiency have up to six times the risk [OR: 6.2 (IC95% 2.0-21.6), p=0.002] of having a severe asthmatic crisis and do not respond adequately to inhaled steroid treatment.

To evaluate the effect of oral vitamin D3 supplementation with 50,000 IU single dose and 4,000 IU daily vs 2,000 IU daily on the Asthma Control Questionnaire score, number and incidence of asthmatic crisis, lung function, and Th17 inflammatory biomarkers in adolescents with asthma associated to obesity and vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency for three months.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Non-allergic Asthma Obesity Vitamin D Deficiency Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D₃ (25-hydroxy vitamin D) Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Randomized controlled, double-blind, parallel (2 arms), clinical trial. Eligibility criteria: adolescents (12-17 years old), with obesity, vitamin D deficiency (<30 ng/dl), controlled or partially controlled or uncontrolled asthma according to GINA 2020 criteria and confirmed with a spirometry, with negative allergy skin test.

To each patient it will be performed a medical history, physical examination, asthma control questionnaire, a spirometry (with bronchodilator), as well as a peripheral blood sample collection of 10 ml to measure Th17 inflammatory biomarkers by chemiluminescence immunoassay and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (genetic expression of 18 cytokines) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D plasmatic concentration with electrochemiluminescence.

Patients will be randomized by block and assigned to one of two intervention arms. Each intervention arm will have a total sample of 132 patients. Experimental group will receive a single dose of 50,000 IU and 4,000 IU of vitamin D daily for 3 months. On the other hand, the active control group will receive 2,000 IU daily for 3 months. Patients will be followed up and cited every month for clinical assessment, asthma control (ACQ) questionnaire application, spirometry (with bronchodilator) and peripheral blood sample collection to determine the plasma concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and Th17 inflammatory biomarkers.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 264 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:

Adolescents with non-allergic asthma, obesity and insufficiency/deficiency of vitamin D will be randomized in block (33 groups with 8 patients), 2 arms of 132 patients each: the experimental group will receive a single dose of 50,000 IU followed by 4,000 IU daily of vitamin D for three months, and the control group will receive 2,000 IU daily of vitamin D for three months.

Each patient will have a monthly follow up (weeks 4, 8 and 12 after the beginning of the intervention) with physical examination, questionnaire to evaluate asthma control, asthma control test and pediatric asthma quality of life questionnaire (PAQLQ), a spirometry with bronchodilator, 10 ml of peripheral blood to measure plasmatic concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D with electrochemiluminescence, Th17 inflammatory biomarkers and allergy skin tests (at the beginning and end of the intervention) and each visit will be a capsule count and a registration of adverse effects.
Masking: Single (Care Provider)
Masking Description: The masking will be done by a care provider. Each patient will have a randomly assigned envelope with the corresponding vitamin D dose, defining the allocated arm.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation daily for three months on asthma symptoms. [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation, with a single dose of 50,000 IU and 4,000 IU daily for three months, on asthma symptoms improvement (reduction of 0.5 in score compared to baseline), assessed by an asthma control questionnaire [score range from 0 (fully controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled)], compared to a dose of 2,000 IU daily.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation daily for three months on the incidence of asthmatic crisis. [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation, with a single dose 50,000 IU and 4,000 IU daily for three months, on asthma symptoms evaluated the incidence of asthmatic crisis compared to a dose of 2,000 IU daily.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation daily for three months on lung function. [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation, with a single dose 50,000 IU and 4,000 IU daily for three months, on lung function (Forced expiratory volume in the first second, 5% volume increase compared to baseline) compared to a dose of 2,000 IU daily.

  2. Evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation for three months on IL-17A inflammatory biomarker. [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation, with a single dose of 50,000 IU and 4,000 IU daily for three months, on IL-17A (decrease of 5 pg/ml) compared to a dose of 2,000 IU daily.
