I INTRODUCTION
Based on the review of the data on quality, safety and efficacy, the Medicines and Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency (MHRA) granted Consilient Health Limited a Marketing Authorisation for the
medicinal product InVita D3 2,400 IU/ml oral drops, solution (PL 24837/0046) on 28th
January 2015.
The product is a prescription-only medicine (POM) indicated for the prevention of vitamin D deficiency
in infants, children, pregnant and breast feeding women.
The application was submitted under Article 10a of Directive 2001/83/EC, as amended, claiming to be
an application for a product containing an active substance of well-established use.
In its biologically active form, vitamin D stimulates intestinal calcium absorption, incorporation of
calcium into the osteoid, and release of calcium from bone tissue. In the small intestine it promotes rapid
and delayed calcium uptake. The passive and active transport of phosphate is also stimulated. In the
kidney, it inhibits the excretion of calcium and phosphate by promoting tubular resorption. The
production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the parathyroids is inhibited directly by the biologically
active form of vitamin D. PTH secretion is inhibited additionally by the increased calcium uptake in the
small intestine under the influence of biologically active vitamin D.
No new non-clinical or clinical studies were necessary for this application, which is acceptable given
that this is a bibliographic application for a product containing an active of well-established use.
Bioequivalence studies are not necessary to support this application.
The MHRA has been assured that acceptable standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) are in
place for this product type at all sites responsible for the manufacturing and assembly of this product.
Evidence of compliance with GMP has been provided for the named manufacturing and assembly sites.
A summary of the pharmacovigilance system and a detailed risk management plan have been provided
with this application and these are satisfactory.

The scientific evidence found on the published literature was sufficient to discuss all the
pharmacological, pharmacokinetic, efficacy and safety profiles of the product. Bioequivalence studies
are not necessary to support this bibliographic application.
IV.2 Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetics of vitamin D are well established. It is both an endogenous substance and
absorbed in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract from food.
Vitamin D is absorbed in the small intestine, in the duodenum and in the distal ileum. The need for bile
salts in the absorption of vitamin D has been demonstrated.
Once vitamin D is absorbed, presumably through the lacteal system in association with chylomicrons, it
becomes associated with a vitamin D-binding protein that migrates with the -globulin. Although some
vitamin D is associated with the lipoproteins, most is bound to the transport protein that migrates with
-globulins.
In a study on the absorption of vitamin D3-3H in healthy volunteers, subjects were given oral doses of
0.1 to 1 mg of vitamin D3-3H, containing 1.5 to 15μC of tritium, in arachis oil, and their plasma and
fecal radioactivity was assayed during the subsequent 6 days. Radioactivity was present in the plasma 3
hours after a dose and at this stage was largely located in the chylomicrons. It reached a peak at 6 to 12
hours and thereafter declined exponentially, with a mean half-life of 54 hours. The net absorption of 0.5
to 1 mg doses, calculated from the fecal excretion of radioactivity, ranged from 62.4 to 91.3%.
A study looked at the role of the duodenum in vitamin D3 absorption in man. Two different radioisotope
forms of vitamin D3 were infused separately and simultaneously into the duodenum and jejunum of
healthy adult male volunteers. Mean apparent absorption of the vitamin D3 isotope infused into the
duodenum was 77% as compared with 65% for the vitamin D3 isotope infused into the jejunum.
The maximal absorption of tritium labelled vitamin D3 takes place in the mid-jejunum and its transfer
into the blood is mainly via the lymph.
Vitamin D from nutritional origin is transported via chylomicrons from the intestine via lymph veins to
the liver, whereas skin produced vitamin D is probably transported mainly via vitamin D binding protein
(DPB), on albumin-like plasma carrier protein. The liver but also some other tissues metabolize vitamin
D3 into 25-OHD, probably by the enzyme CYP27. This steral –27–hydroxylase is an enzyme
responsible for 25 – or 24 hydroxylation of vitamin D3 or D2, respectively. The enzyme is, however,
found in many tissues outside the liver.
Following the administration of vitamin D3 to animals, either by intravenous or oral means, some 60-
80% accumulates in the liver. Predominantly in the liver but not exclusively, vitamin D3 is hydroxylated
on carbon 25 to produce the obligatory intermediate 25-OH- D3. Some 25 – hydroxylation can take
place in intestine and kidney. A specific vitamin D 25-hydroxylose is located in the endoplasmic
reticulum of liver.
This hydroxylase likely operates under conditions of high vitamin D dosage an intake and probably does
not function at low and physiologic concentrations. Thus, when large doses of vitamin D are given, it is
likely that the mitochondrial 25–hydroxylase produces large amounts of 25-OH- D3 contributing to large
concentrations found in the plasma following high dosages of vitamin D.
25-OH- D3 must be metabolized further before it carries out the functions of vitamin D in the intestine,
kidney and bone. This reaction takes place exclusively in the kidney. Thus, 25-OH- D3 is further
hydroxylated in the 1 -position to produce 1, 25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2 D3).
PAR InVita D3 2,400 IU/ml oral drops, solution PL 24837/0046

From the physiologic point of view, it must be recognised that the 1-hydroxylase reaction is the most
significant in the metabolism of vitamin D. It is this hydroxylase that is regulated by the need for
calcium or the need for phosphorus, and therefore must be regarded as the major regulated step in the
metabolism of the vitamins.
1,25-(OH)2 D3 is very rapidly metabolised in man and animals. In man, it has a half-life of
approximately 2 – 4 hours in plasma and perhaps somewhat longer in target tissues.
In a study, Vitamin D3-3H has been administered intravenously to seven normal subjects, three patients
with biliary fistulas and four patients with cirrhosis. Plasma D3-3H half times normally ranged from 20
to 30 hours.
Urinary radioactivity averaged 2.4% of the administered dose for the 48-hour period after infusion, and
all excreted radioactivity represented chemically altered metabolites of vitamin D. The metabolites in
urine were mainly water-soluble, with 26% in conjugated form.
From 3 to 6% of the injected radioactivity was excreted in the bile of subjects with T-tube drainage and
5% in the faeces of patients having no T-tube.
The pattern of fecal and biliary radioactivity suggested that the passage of vitamin D and its metabolites
from bile into the intestine represent an essential stage for the fecal excretion of vitamin D metabolites
in man.
Hepatic Failure:
A study compared the absorption of colecalciferol and 25- hydroxycolecalciferol in normal patients and
in patients with mild and severe cholestatic liver disease. 3H-colecalciferol and
3H-25-
hydroxycolecalciferol were given orally and serial blood samples were drawn for measurement of the
serum level of radiolabeled vitamin. Absorption of 25-hydroxycolecalciferol peaked earlier and was
greater than absorption of colecalciferol in all times in all three groups. Patients with mild cholestasis
(normal bilirubin and fecal fat excretion) absorbed both forms of the vitamin normally. Those with
severe cholestasis (jaundice and steatorrhea) had minimal absorption of colecalciferol but relatively
preserved absorption of 25-hydroxycolecalciferol. Absorption of colecalciferol and 25-
hydroxycolecalciferol was inversely related to fecal fat excretion.
The overall regulation of vitamin D metabolism in chronic liver disease and the formation of dihydroxy
metabolites therefore appear to be similar to those in-patients with normal liver function.
Renal Failure:
A study was performed looking at the handling of vitamin D in subjects with chronic renal failure. The
results from the study suggest the presence of an extrarenal 25OH D3-24-hydroxylase and 25OH D3-26-
hydroxylase and confirm the presence of 25 OH D3-lactone in human plasma.
The data also indicate that analogous to 1,25(OH)2 D3, the kidney may be the sole site of production of
25OH D3-lactone. The significantly reduced or non-detectable plasma levels of vitamin D3 in the
chronic renal failure and anephric patients may reflect abnormalities in the hepatobiliary-intestinal
and/or cutaneous metabolism of vitamin D.
Finally, 25,26(OH)2 D3 levels, significantly decreased in the chronic renal failure patients, were
normalised in the anephric patients on long-term haemodialysis. These changes noted in 25,26(OH)2 D3
may reflect alterations in the uremic state occurring with haemodialysis in these chronic renal disease
patients.
The applicant has adequately characterised the pharmacokinetics of vitamin D.

IV.3 Pharmacodynamics
Colecalciferol is an endogenous compound present as a precursor in the skin of both man and animals. It
has a variety of essential physiological roles. Vitamin D is required to maintain normal blood levels of
calcium and phosphate, which are in turn needed for the normal mineralisation of bone, muscle
contraction, nerve conduction, and general cellular function in all cells of the body. Vitamin D achieves
this after its conversion to the active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25-(OH)2D], or calcitriol. This
active form regulates the transcription of a number of vitamin D-dependent genes which code for
calcium-transporting proteins and bone matrix proteins.
Vitamin D also modulates the transcription of cell cycle proteins, which decrease cell proliferation and
increase cell differentiation of a number of specialised cells of the body (e.g. osteoclastic precursors,
enterocytes, and keratinocytes). Vitamin D also possesses immunomodulatory properties that may alter
responses to infections in vivo. These cell differentiating and immunomodulatory properties underlie the
reason why vitamin D derivatives are now also used successfully in the treatment of psoriasis and other
skin disorders.
Colecalciferol (vitamin D3) is formed in the skin on exposure to UV light and converted into its
biologically active form, 1,25-dihydroxycolecalciferol, in two hydroxylation steps, first in the liver
(position 25) and then in the renal tissue (position 1). Along with parathormone and calcitonin, 1,25-
dihydroxycolecalciferol has a considerable impact on the regulation of calcium and phosphate
metabolism. In vitamin D deficiency the skeleton does not calcify (resulting in rickets) or decalcification
of bones occurs (resulting in osteomalacia).
According to production, physiological regulation and mechanism of action, vitamin D3 is to be
considered as precursor of a steroid hormone. In addition to physiological production in the skin,
colecalciferol can be supplied via the diet or in the form of a drug. Since in the latter case the product
inhibition of cutaneous vitamin D synthesis is circumvented, overdose and intoxications may occur.
Human beings activate it metabolically in the same way as colecalciferol. It has the same qualitative and
quantitative effects.
Adults require 5 μg daily, equivalent to 200 IU. Healthy adults can cover their requirement by producing
vitamin D on their own through sufficient exposure to the sun. Alimentary vitamin D supply plays a
subordinate role, but can be important under critical conditions (climate, lifestyle). Fish liver oil and fish
are particularly rich in vitamin D; small amounts are found in meat, egg yolk, milk, dairy products and
avocado.
Deficiency diseases can occur, among others, in immature pre-term new-born infants, infants
exclusively breast-fed for more than six months without calcium-containing foods and children fed a
strictly vegetarian diet. The causes of rarely occurring vitamin D deficiency in adults may be inadequate
alimentary intake, insufficient exposure to UV light, malabsorption and maldigestion, liver cirrhosis as
well as renal insufficiency.
Vitamin D, a steroid hormone produced in the skin, has specific regulatory or functional effects on other
parts of the body. Vitamin D is hydroxylated in the liver to 25- hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) and
further hydroxylated in the kidney to 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D. Hydroxylation in the kidney is
regulated closely by parathyroid hormone (PTH), hypocalcemia, and hypophosphatemia and is inhibited
by 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D. As well, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (produced locally within cells)
regulates gene transcription through nuclear high-affinity VTD receptors. These receptors are found in
the classic target organs: gut, bone, kidney, and parathyroid and many other tissues as well, such as
brain, breast, colon, heart, pancreas, prostate, skin, and immune system. Vitamin D regulates cell growth
and maturation, inhibits renin production, stimulates insulin secretion, and modulates the function of
activated T- and B-lymphocytes and macrophages.
PAR InVita D3 2,400 IU/ml oral drops, solution PL 24837/0046

A host of proteins and enzymes such as vitamin D-binding protein, the putative liver 25- hydroxylase,
CYP27B1 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase (24-OHase or CYP24), along with others such as
megalin (an endocytic receptor responsible for the resorption of vitamin D-binding protein in the
kidney) and FGF23 (known to inhibit CYP27B1), weave themselves into a complicated network to
maintain a balance among the vitamin D, 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D levels. In addition, contributing to
the complexity of the VDR signalling system is the presence of numerous membrane proteins, cytosolic
factors and transcription co-activators/co-repressors that are often associated with the regulation of
nuclear receptors.
Atherosclerosis is a process that involves a complex interplay among different factors such as
inflammation, thrombosis and various cell types including smooth muscle and endothelial cells. As
mentioned above, Vitamin D receptor (VDR) seems involved in regulating thrombogenic activity, and
VDR activation may reduce thrombosis and sustain plaque stability in atherosclerosis. Also,
inflammation is linked to plaque vulnerability; VDR activation, through its immunomodulating effects,
may inhibit macrophage activation and prevent plaque instability.
Beside inflammation and thrombosis, phenotypic change in smooth muscle cells is an important
contributing factor in atherosclerosis. In a study employing DNA microarray technology to assess the
gene expression profile in primary culture of human coronary artery smooth muscle cells treated with
VDRAs, we found that VDRAs regulated the expression of many genes involved in cell differentiation
and proliferation and also down-regulated the expression of natriuretic peptide precursor B, plasminogen
activator inhibitor-1 and thrombospondin-1.
The non-clinical and clinical data suggest that VDR is involved in regulating cardiovascular functions
and vitamin D and its analogs are potentially useful for treating cardiovascular disease (CVD). Many of
the clinical studies considered a level of 25(OH)D at ≤15 ng/mL deficient, while a level between 15 and
30 ng/mL is borderline and a level more than 30 ng/mL is perhaps necessary in order to reduce CVD
risk.
The applicant has adequately characterised the pharmacodynamics of vitamin D.
IV.4 Clinical efficacy
The efficacy of colecalciferol is well-established.
The applicant has presented data which supports the dosage levels requested in the posology for both
children and pregnant women. The well-established use of vitamin D at the doses needed in the
indications requested is therefore acceptable.
IV.5 Clinical safety
The safety of colecalciferol is well-established.
The safety review is considered adequate. Safety data is presented in a wide variety of doses, including
those giving much higher doses than in the requested posology. This supports the safe use of vitamin D
at these doses in the appropriate populations. The safety profile is therefore considered well
characterised.
IV.6 Risk Management Plan (RMP)
The Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH) has submitted a risk management plan, in accordance with
the requirements of Directive 2001/83/EC as amended, describing the pharmacovigilance activities and
interventions designed to identify, characterise, prevent or minimise risks relating to InVita D3 2,400
