About this study

Official title: Vitamin D Deficiency in Acutely Injured Pediatric Burn Patients: Incidence, Etiology, Metabolic Sequelae and Prevention

To see which vitamin D supplement (D2 vs D3) is most beneficial in burned children.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to follow up our descriptive observations with a prospective randomized double blinded study to verify our clinical perception that hypovitaminosis D is prevalent postburn and to evaluate whether therapeutic supplementation will enhance specific primary outcome measures during burn convalescence.

Being tested
Vitamin D2, Vitamin D3
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Vitamin D2Dietary supplement

    Also called ergocalciferol

    Daily enteral dose of 100IU/kg

  • Vitamin D3Dietary supplement

    Also called cholecalciferol

    Daily enteral dose of 100IU/kg

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Examine the effect of D2 vs D3 supplementation on serum 25-OH and 1,25 OH vitamin D levels

    Measured: During acute phase postburn

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Identify the most efficacious vitamin D analogue in terms of preventing deterioration of bone markers

    Measured: During acute phase postburn

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3 in people with Burns and Bone Demineralization, run by Shriners Hospitals for Children at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Examine the effect of D2 vs D3 supplementation on serum 25-OH and 1,25 OH vitamin D levels (time frame: During acute phase postburn). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00536276, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 May 2012.
