About this study

Official title: Vitamin D Deficiency and Treatment in Male Veterans at Risk for Diabetes

This study will supplement African American male (AAM) veterans at risk for diabetes and newly diagnosed T2DM with vitamin D (low or higher dose) and evaluate whether vitamin D helps to improve early markers of diabetes. The study will be done at Veteran Administration Medical Center in Chicago.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to determine vitamin D efficacy and safety for improving early markers of T2DM in African American male (AAM) veterans at risk for T2DM (n=205, duration 12 months).

The primary outcome will be change in oral glucose insulin sensitivity (OGIS). The secondary outcomes will include various parameters of glucose metabolism and other biomarkers.

Analysis based on primary and secondary goal as well as predetermined levels of A1C, OGTT and 25OHD at the end of the study.

Being tested
Placebo, 50K vitamin D2
Keywords
Vitamin D, Glucose intolerance, African American men

What is being measured

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

  1. Oral Glucose Insulin Sensitivity (OGIS)

    Oral glucose insulin sensitivity = index of insulin sensitivity, higher index means higher insulin sensitivity. Low insulin sensitivity means high insulin resistance and high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is calculated by a special formula using insulin and glucose measured in Oral Glucose Tolerance test.

    The primary outcome was the change in oral glucose insulin sensitivity (OGIS, from oral glucose tolerance test) after 12 months of treatment calculated as OGIS at 12-months minus OGIS baseline.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in HbA1c From Baseline at 12 Months

    Measured: Baseline and 12 Months

  2. Insulin Sensitivity by Matsuda Composite

    Insulin Sensitivity by Matsuda Composite - index of insulin sensitivity, higher index means higher insulin sensitivity. Low insulin sensitivity means high insulin resistance and high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is calculated by a special formula using insulin and glucose measured in Oral Glucose Tolerance test. The formula is different from a formula for OGIS.

    Matsuda composite calculated based on formula 10^4/Square Root of [(fasting glucose x fasting insulin) x (mean glucose x mean insulin)] (Matsuda M, DeFronzo RA. Insulin sensitivity indices obtained from oral glucose tolerance testing: comparison with the euglycemic glucose clamp. Diabetes Care. 1999;22:1462-1470) Unit of measure is 10000/√[(µU/mL)/(mg/dL)]x[(µU/mL)/(mg/dL)].

    Measured: 12 Months

  3. Insulinogenic Index-30

    Index of insulin secretion, higher index means higher insulin secretion. It is calculated by a special formula using insulin and glucose measured at 0 min and at 30 min (hence 30 in the name) in Oral Glucose Tolerance test.

    Insulin secretion was assessed based on formula Insulinogenic index-30 [(insulin at 30 min - fasting insulin)/(glucose at 30 min - fasting glucose)] (Kosaka K, Hagura R, Kuzuya T. Insulin responses in equivocal and definite diabetes, with special reference to subjects who had mild glucose intolerance but later developed definite diabetes. Diabetes. 1977;26:944-952)

    Measured: 12 Month

  4. C-Peptidogenic Index-30

    Index of insulin secretion, higher index means higher insulin secretion. C-peptide circulates in blood in amounts equal to insulin because insulin and C-peptide are linked when first made by the pancreas. C-peptide is more stable in blood than insulin; therefore it can be reliably used to evaluate insulin secretion. It is calculated by a special formula using C-peptide and glucose measured at 0 min and at 30 min (hence 30 in the name) in Oral Glucose Tolerance test.

    Insulin secretion was assessed based on formula C-Peptidogenic index-30 [(C-Peptide at 30 min - fasting C-peptide)/(glucose at 30 min - fasting glucose)]Bergstrom RW, Wahl PW, Leonetti DL, Fujimoto WY. Association of fasting glucose levels with a delayed secretion of insulin after oral glucose in subjects with glucose intolerance. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 1990;71:1447-1453.)

    Measured: 12 Month

  5. Incident Diabetes

    Measured: 12 Months

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 10 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 6 Mar 2015. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Feb 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Oral Glucose Insulin Sensitivity (OGIS) (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01375660, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 6 Mar 2015.
