Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The main objective of this trial is to evaluate whether vitamin D supplementation is able to ameliorate the response of vitamin D-deficient hemodialysis patients receiving hepatitis B immunization;Secondary Objective: This study will further analyse the T-cell, B-cell and regulatory T-cell function of hemodialysis patients influenced by vitamin D supplementation and hepatitis vaccination;Primary end point(s): Changes in Anti-HbsAb-levels following a hepatitis B vaccination after vitamin D-supplementation in vitamin D-deficient hemodialysis patients;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Anti-HbsAb-level measurement 2 weeks after the completion of the vaccination series (months 9-11) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Effect of vitamin D supplementation on the immune status of hemodialysis patients;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Immediately before vaccination and two month after completion of the vaccination | — |
