About this study

Official title: Effect of a Single Colecalciferol Dose on Insulin Resistance: A Prospective Randomized Trial

A Prospective Double-Blinded, Placebo Controlled, Randomized Trial comparing a single dose of Vitamin D (Colecalciferol) 300.00UI to placebo on patients with insulin resistance. Primary Outcome: Blood glucose and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-R) after 90 days. Study hypothesis: Vitamin D treatment may improve insulin resistance and decrease glucose level, since there is an association between hypovitaminosis D and increased insulin resistance.

Being tested
Colecalciferol (Vitamin D3) 300.000 UI, Placebo
Medical subject headings
Insulin Resistance, Glucose Intolerance

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Colecalciferol (Vitamin D3) 300.000 UI in people with Insulin Resistance and Glucose Intolerance, run by Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre at 1 site in Brazil.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 24 Feb 2010. 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 Brazil. 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.

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?

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?

Blood Glucose Level (time frame: Baseline and day 90). 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 24 Feb 2010.
