Trial summary

Both vitamin D deficiency and type II DM/prediabetes are highly prevalent. Vitamin D status has been negatively associated with the presence of type II DM and glycemic control. A cause-effect relationship between vitamin D deficiency and the development of type II DM has not been established. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Does Vitamin D Reduce Risk of Developing Type II DM in Prediabetics? A Double Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Both vitamin D deficiency and type II DM/prediabetes are highly prevalent. Vitamin D status has been negatively associated with the presence of type II DM and glycemic control. A cause-effect relationship between vitamin D deficiency and the development of type II DM has not been established.

The investigators plan to conduct a 2 year, double blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial on the effect of vitamin D3 supplement on the incidence of type II DM in high risk individuals.

Being tested

    Measured: 2 years

  3. area under the curve of BP

    Measured: 2 years

  4. area under the curve of weight

    Measured: 2 years

  5. area under the curve of 25 OH vitamin D level

    Measured: 2 years

  6. fasting insulin to glucose ratio

    Measured: 2 years

  7. incidence of hypercalcemia

    Measured: 2 years

  8. incidence of hypercalciuria

    Measured: 2 years

  9. time to develop DM

    Development of DM diagnosed by glucose levels, fasting and/or 2-hour post 75 mg glucose challenge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Vitamin D3 in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 6 inclusion and 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Mar 2018. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: inadequate enrollement). 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?

The incidence of DM (time frame: 2 years). 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 7 Mar 2018.
