About this study

Official title: Assessment of Influence of Vitamin D on Insulin Secretion and Sensitivity in Obese Teenage Girls (Assessment of Prevalence of Vitamin D Deficiency in Obese Teenage Girls and Influence of Vitamin D on Insulin Secretion and Sensitivity)

The purpose of the study is to assess the relationship between vitamin D status and insulin- glucose dynamics in obese Adolescents. The study is intended to assess the difference in the insulin sensitivity before and after correction of vitamin D deficiency.

Read the detailed description

The vitamin D deficient subjects are identified initially through an existing study. Those identified with vitamin D deficiency are notified and subsequently treated with standard therapy for vitamin D deficiency as part of their clinical care. Patients who self report that they have taken the treatment are enrolled in this study. Patients will be evaluated in this study with measurement of serum 25 OH D level, PTH and oral glucose tolerance test. The study will assess if there is improvement in glucose- insulin sensitivity dynamics once the serum 25OH D level is normalized

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT00851396
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Obese female adolescentsObese adolescents will be screened for vitamin D deficiency through an existing study. Those found to be vitamin D deficient will be given standard treatment of vitamin D deficiency. In this study, patients who self report that they had taken the treatment for vitamin D will be screened for serum 25 OH D level and will undergo OGTT. The OGTT results as well as insulin resistance indices will be compared to their initial values.

What is being measured

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

  1. The insulin secretory capacity and insulin resistance indices are the outcome of interest in this study.

    Measured: December 2009

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. We will evaluate whether the relationship of obesity and insulin resistance and the defective insulin secretory capacity is modulated by vitamin D status

    Measured: December 2009

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vitamin D Deficiency and Insulin Resistance, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham 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 1 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 12 Sep 2011. 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?

The insulin secretory capacity and insulin resistance indices are the outcome of interest in this study. (time frame: December 2009). 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 12 Sep 2011.
