Trial summary

Vitamin D deficiency is common world wide. 25 OH vitamin D level is the best indicator of vitamin D status. The determination of the appropriate dose of vitamin D supplement is essential for management of vitamin D deficiency as well as for designing vitamin D fortification programs.

About this study

Official title: Magnitude of Changes in 25 OH Vitamin D3 Levels After Vitamin D3 Supplementation: A Randomized Controlled Study

Vitamin D deficiency is common world wide. 25 OH vitamin D level is the best indicator of vitamin D status. The determination of the appropriate dose of vitamin D supplement is essential for management of vitamin D deficiency as well as for designing vitamin D fortification programs. The increments in 25 OH vitamin D levels following various doses of vitamin D supplement for different genders, body weights, and starting 25 OH vitamin D level have not been well defined. The time course of depletion of repleted vitamin D stores is also not known.

The investigators plan to conduct a double blind randomized study on 9 cohorts to determine levels of 25 OH vitamin D following supplementation with different doses of vitamin D3 for 5 months and their withdrawal for 3 months.

Being tested
vitamin D3 1000 IU orally daily for 5 months, vitamin D3 3000 IU orally daily for 5 months, vitamin D3 5000 IU orally daily for 5 months, Placebo orally daily for 5 months

What is being measured

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

  1. Slope of 25 OH vitamin D3 level vs vitamin D3 dose

    The primary endpoint is the slope of the dose (vitamin D3)- response (25 OH vitamin D3 level) curve for each cohort. The slope of the placebo group will be used to determine changes in 25 OH vitamin D3 levels that are not related to study intervention. The slope will be determined over 5 months.

    Measured: 5 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. slope of vitamin D3 level vs vitamin D3 dose

    slope of vitamin D3 level vs vitamin D3 dose over 5 months

    Measured: 5 months

  2. incidence of hypercalcemia

    incidence of hypercalcemia over 8 months

    Measured: 8 months

  3. incidence of hypercalciuria

    incidence of hypercalciuria over 8 months

    Measured: 8 months

  4. slope of decline of 25 OH vitamin D3 level vs time

    slope of decline of 25 OH vitamin D3 level vs time over 3 months

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing vitamin D3 1000 IU orally daily for 5 months, vitamin D3 3000 IU orally daily for 5 months and vitamin D3 5000 IU orally daily for 5 months in people with Vitamin D Deficiency, 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 2 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: withdrawn, 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Slope of 25 OH vitamin D3 level vs vitamin D3 dose (time frame: 5 months). 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.
