Trial summary

This study was intended to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on insulin sensitivity and pancreatic islet beta-cell function. Our hypothesis was that vitamin D supplementation to normal levels in patients with impaired fasting glucose will result in improved insulin sensitivity and improved beta cell… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Improved Insulin Sensitivity With Therapeutic Vitamin D Replacement in Pre-Diabetic Vitamin D Deficient Individuals

This study was intended to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on insulin sensitivity and pancreatic islet beta-cell function. Our hypothesis was that vitamin D supplementation to normal levels in patients with impaired fasting glucose will result in improved insulin sensitivity and improved beta cell function.

Read the detailed description

A modified frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance (mFSIGT) test was used. On day 0, baseline 22 time point mFSIGT was performed. Subjects were then treated with cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supplementation - 10,000 IU/day - for 28 consecutive days. mFSIGT was then repeated measuring glucose, insulin and c-peptide at all time points. 25-OH vitamin D, PTH, and calcium were also measured at time point 0 pre and post vitamin D supplementation. Data was analyzed using the Bergman/Boston minimal model for insulin homeostasis with MinMod Millennium software.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of insulin sensitivity before and after oral vitamin D3 supplementation with 10,000 IU/day for one month.

    Measured: At baseline and after 4 weeks of vitamin D supplementation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Monitor effect of vitamin D supplementation with 10,000 IU/day for one month on serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels.

    Measured: One month

  2. Assess effect of vitamin D supplementation on beta cell function as measured by analysis of data collected through a modified FSIGT test.

    Measured: One month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) in people with Prediabetes and Vitamin D Deficiency, run by University of Minnesota 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 20 Oct 2008. 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.

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?

Assessment of insulin sensitivity before and after oral vitamin D3 supplementation with 10,000 IU/day for one month. (time frame: At baseline and after 4 weeks of vitamin D supplementation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Oct 2008.
