Vitamin D is critical for skeletal health, hypovitaminosis D is common in pediatric IBD, yet optimal repletion therapy is not well studied. We aimed to conduct a pilot trial comparing the efficacy of two Vitamin D regimens of weekly dosing for repletion of hypovitaminosis D in pediatric IBD. Subjects identified from our IBD clinic with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations below 30 ng/mL were randomized to 10,000 (n=18) or 5,000 (n=14) IU of oral vitamin D3/10 kg body weight/week for six weeks. Serum 25(OH)D, Ca, and PTH concentrations were measured at baseline, week 8 and week 12. In the higher dosing group, serum 25(OH)D increased from 23.7 ±8.5 ng/mL at baseline to 49.2 ±13.6 ng/mL at 8 weeks; P<0.001. In the lower dosing group, serum 25(OH)D increased from 24.0 ±7.0 ng/mL at baseline to 41.5 ±9.6 ng/mL at 8 weeks; P<0.001. At 12 weeks, serum 25(OH)D concentrations were 35.1 ± 8.4 ng/mL and 30.8 ± 4.2 ng/mL for the higher and lower dose regimens, respectively. Mean serum Ca and PTH concentrations did not significantly change during the study. No patient exhibited hypercalcemia, and no serious adverse events occurred. Both treatment arms were safe and effective at normalizing vitamin D nutriture in pediatric IBD. While significant repletion of 25(OH)D concentration was achieved in the lower dose group at 8 weeks, this effect was lost by the 12-week follow-up. Maintenance vitamin D therapy following initial repletion is likely required to maintain long-term normalized vitamin D status.
