The past
1885 bone histology by Pommer
1918 Cod liver oil by Mellenby
1919 Artifical UV cure Huldschinsky
• First recognized in 1650 by Frances Glisson
Provitamin DUV 290 – 315 nm (297 peak)Converts provitamin D to previtamin DWarmth converts previtamin D to cholecalciferol
IF too much pre-vit d then uv breaks down to lumisterol4 and tachysterol3
• Median D 53 nM• 8% started anti-fracture therapy
• More Falls (5404): 74% VD/ 68% PL (15% increase)– 83.4 vs 72.7 per 100 yrs treatment– More with fracture– More with soft tissue injury
• Fracture (306): 4.9 vs. 3.9 / 100yr: (+1 per 100 yr treat)
• x1 extra fracture per 100 years of treatment• Higher rate in first 3 months in years 2-5 • Hosp/Death: 22% VD vs. 18% (p=0.06)• Death: 3.5% VD vs. 4%

Vitamin D Toxicity: published cases• Hypercalcaemia (> 2.75 mM)
– 77yr Renal failure patient took 50,000 IU D2 long term at unspecified rate (355nM) = Ca 3.3 mM
– 42yr Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with nephrotic syndrome with vitamin D 12.5nM, took 50,000 IU D2 weekly x6 + thiazide + CaCO3
• Ca 2.86 mM
– 68yr with steroid sensitive Evan’s syndrome + fracture + diuretic, • started 50,000 IU D2per day + 1g Ca• Six weeks later (2.1 million IU D): Ca = 3.7 mM• Peak D = 805 nM• Required mithramyacin, peritoneal dialysis with irreversible CRF
– 76 COPD + steroids + fracture + diuretics• 50,000 IU x2/wk + 1 g Ca for 5 yrs (5.2 million IU/year)• 25OHD = 635 nM• Reversible ARF
Schwartzamn 1987 AJM
Hyperparathyroidism
PTH stimulates activation of vitamin D and potentially increases risk of hypercalcaemia
• 25 hypercalcaemic PHPT + < 50 nM 25OHD • Intervention:• 50,000 IU D3 weekly x4 then monthly x 12• Outcome:
6 months / 12 months• No significant change in serum calcium

What did we use to do?

Treatment principles
• Patient group • Daily vs intermittent dosing• D2 (Ergo-) vs D3 (chole-) calciferol• IM vs po administration• Co-administration with Calcium
Persistance to vitamin D is key• 311 patients post NOF• 1.0g Ca + 800 IU Vitamin D od on discharge• 6 month compliance?

Effectiveness to vitamin D is key• 122 50 -90 yr post NOF• 1.2g Ca + 800 IU Vitamin D• 6 monthly clinic visits to improve compliance for 1 year
• 56% drop out rate by 12 months
•Of those still in study:
•61% adherent
•8% > 75nM 25OHD
Segal Arch Ger & Ger 2009
Dosing frequency
• 48 Women (age 80)
• Cholecalciferol po– 1,500 IU daily– 10,500 IU weekly– 45,000 IU / 28 days
• No difference in 25OHD or PTH suppression
• One episode hypercalcaemia in daily dose
• Only 50% of < 25nM at baseline had > 70nM at 8 weeks
Ish-Shalom JCEM 2008
Can use intermittent dosing
Is Intermittent dosing biological effective?
• 100,000 IU PO D3 4mthly• British Doctors study • Ipswich GP practice• 5 yr Postal study
• 74.3 nM vs 53.4 nM
Trivedi BMJ 2003
Yes with D3
Is Intermittent dosing biological effective?
• 300,000 IU IM D2 annually x3• 9440 > 75 yr attending flu vaccine• 585 incident fractures• No effect on falls
How much is needed in vitamin D deficient patients
• 100,000 cholecalciferol po
• Needs to be repeated every 2 months
• No toxicity• Not sufficient for those with
levels < 20ng/ml

After loading?
Bacon OI 2008500,000 IU D3 safe in those with 25(OH)D > 50nM
• 32 inpatients (<50nM and >50nM)• Loading = 500,00 IU D3• Maintenance = 50,000 IU per month• Both
Why measure baseline 25(OH)D?• Relatively expensive (£15) and time consuming to measure (send to liverpool)• Safe in high doses
• Safety in high doses in question
• Only offer treatment to those who need it• Titrate doses of replacement• Baseline figure to compare response
• Unlicensed treatment that is red listed as hospital consultant only
Stratify by calcium intake
• Unnecessary to give calcium if dietary replete
• Intolerance common with calcium component
• Lower compliance with daily regimes1
• Toxicity if high calcium intake?

• Aim is sun exposure without well before burning• Sun exposure 5-15 minutes twice a week from 1100 to 1500
exposed face and arms without sun-cream (Note from Nov- Feb no benefit from sun exposure)
• EXCEPT IF : a history of skin cancer, porphyrias, xeroderma pigmentosum, SLE

Oxford journey• Jun 2008 Guidance produced• Nov 2008 ORH pharmacy approval• Mar 2009 MAC Approval – Black light• May 2009 MHRA import approval• Aug 2009 MAC Approval – Red light• May 2009 OxPF applied– needs PH review first – deferred• Aug 2009 PH Review delayed because of H1N1• Nov 2009 OxPF presentation…rejected needs PH review• Feb 2010 submitted TRF review to board…rejected no demand from other
PCTs• Apr 2010: PCT refuse to commisison high dose vitamin D...• await confirmation of next step.......draft specification:
Summary of PCT guidance:• We will be able to test in:
– all men and women with a t score of <-3 or– if they are >-2.5 with a fracture, or– premenopausal women/men <60y with osteoporosis.
• We won’t currently be able to test 25OHD in postmenopausal women and men over 60yr with a tscore of -2.5 to -3 except if they have:– genetic (congenital); hypogonadal states; endocrine;
inflammatorydiseases; hematologic and neoplastic; drug-induced osteoporosis; eatingdisorders, alcoholism, transplant
Why are the PCT concerned?
• Testing costs (40 – 15 pounds)
• Prescribing costs– 20 pence per 50,000 capsule (hospital cost)– pack 100 capsules = £31 [£ 12 = P&P!]– Equates to 31p/caps– If buy 10 not 100 then £10 per capsule!– ‘Profit’ of £9.69 per capsule (3100%)
– Adcal costs £52
• Oxford first…
Summary• Vitamin D deficiency is common• Associated with many diseases but evidence for treating improving clinical
outcomes in only a few: • Test for it: 1) osteoporosis/ osteomalacia 2) fallers 3) ethnic minority with symptoms of osteomalacia or are planning or are
pregnant • Serious issues with persistence with daily calcium/ vitamin D preparations• High dose loading and then maintenance therapy is key in those with low
levels of D
Have we been here before?
Summary• In meantime in deficient patients (< 25 nM and < 50 nM)
1. use Adcal d3 bd and encourage adherence2. Avoid the 300,000 IU D2: not vitamin D33. 1000 IU D3 oral from Boots OTC
– LOAD: x4 per day for 8 (<25nM) or 4 (25- 50 nM) weeks (112,000 IU/ month)– Maintain: x1 per day (31,000 IU/ month)
– (A day in sun = up to 20,000 IU D3)
Treatment not commissioned…but we will persist
Questions....
Draft PCT specification• Current NICE guidance suggests that clinical testing of vitamin D
status is unnecessary as it assumes that postmenopausal women who require bisphosphonates for osteoporosis have an adequate calcium intake and are vitamin D replete.
• This guidance assumes that women who receive treatment have an adequate calcium intake and are vitamin D replete. Unless clinicians are confident that women who receive treatment meet these criteria, calcium and/or vitamin D supplementation should be considered.

Observational studies
TB therapy
• N=365 ITT RCT double blinded New Guinea• New diagnosis TB• 20% HIV1/10% HIV2• 100,000 IU D3 or placebo at baseline, 5m 8m
• LCMS 25OHD
• DOTS ethambutol, isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide 2m then iso/etham 6m

TB therapy• Safety
– 1 in treatment and 2 in placebo Ca >2.93 mM
• Efficacy– No difference in smear rates– Weight gain– Inconsistent changes in CD4 count – fall in HIV+ve

• But baseline VD status still predicted outcome– Why?
• Not enough given• Residual Confounding
