About this study

Official title: A Study, Four Parallel Arms, Included Two Arms Open Randomisation to Different Doses of Vitamin D, for Assessment of Efficacy of Treatment With Vitamin D at Vitamin D Deficiency, Vitamin D Insufficiency and Suboptimal Levels of Vitamin D

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of different doses of vitamin D in persons, immigrated to Sweden from Middle East or Africa, with decreased S vitamin D.

Read the detailed description

The participants in the study have taken part in a previous screening study. They are now asked to participate in this treatment study. At a screening visit blood samples for vitamin D3 and PTH are collected. Data regarding previous fractures, life style, exposure for sun, clothes, diet, smoking and physical activities are collected. The Vitamin D value predict the treatment dose.

Being tested
Cholecalciferol high dose at Vitamin D deficiency, Cholecalciferol median dose at Vitamin D insufficiency, Cholecalciferol low dose at Vitamin D deficiency, Cholecalciferol median dose at sufficient Vitamin D level
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cholecalciferol high dose at Vitamin D deficiency, Cholecalciferol median dose at Vitamin D insufficiency and Cholecalciferol low dose at Vitamin D deficiency in people with Vitamin D Deficiency, run by Umeå University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 4 inclusion and 20 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 18 Jul 2024. 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 Sweden. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jul 2024). 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?

Serum-vitamin D (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Jul 2024.
