About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Insulin Sensitivity and Secretion in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes of Nordic and Sub-Indian Ethnicity .

The aim of this 6 months study is to evaluate the metabolic effects of 400.000-600.000 IU of vitamin D supplementation in subjects with type 2 diabetes and hypovitaminosis D. The main hypothesis is that subjects with low levels of 25-OH-vitamin D will benefit from supplementation with cholecalciferol in sufficient doses to optimize serum levels.

Read the detailed description

Accumulating evidence suggests that hypovitaminosis D may be associated with the development of type 2 diabetes and disturbances in glucose and insulin metabolism. There is lack of data from randomized, controlled studies of sufficient duration and with the use of sufficient doses of vitamin D to assess the importance of vitamin D supplementation in glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetes.

What participants receive

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

  • CholecalciferolDrug

    Also called Vitamin D, ZymaD

    Cholecalciferol 200.000 IU pr ampoule, 400.000 IU given at randomization day, followed by additionally 200.000 IU at week 5 if serum 25(OH)D < 100 nmol/L. If serum 25(OH)D > 100 placebo will be given. The cholecalciferol will be given in orange juice.

  • Orange juiceOther

    Orange juice at randomization day and at week 5.

What is being measured

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

  1. Insulin sensitivity measured with euglycemic, hyperinsulinemic clamp

    Measured: Before and after the 6 months intervention period

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Insulin secretion measured with IVGTT

    Measured: At 0 and 6 months

  2. Physical activity/muscle strength

    Measured: At 0 and 6 months

  3. HbA1c and fasting glucose

    Measured: At 0, 3 and 6 months

  4. Arterial stiffness

    Measured: At 0 and 6 months

  5. Differences in inflammatory markers, endothelial function and bone specific laboratory markers.

    Measured: At 0, 3 and 6 months

  6. Safety of this regimen of vitamin D3 supplementation; subjects will be assessed for hypercalcemia and renal dysfunction.

    Measured: Entire intervention period, samples taken at 0,1,3, and 6 months

  7. Change from baseline in quality of life score between groups (SF-36).

    Measured: At 0 and 6 months

  8. Effect on serum lipid levels and other biochemical markers

    Measured: At 0, 3 and 6 months

  9. Metabolomics analyses.

    Measured: At 0 and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cholecalciferol and Orange juice in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and Hypovitaminosis D, run by University Hospital, Aker at 1 site in Norway.

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 8 inclusion and 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Nov 2009. 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 Norway. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Gulseth Wium, MD (4722894745, diabeteslab@aus.no), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Insulin sensitivity measured with euglycemic, hyperinsulinemic clamp (time frame: Before and after the 6 months intervention period). 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 NCT00992797, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Nov 2009.
