About this study

Set the pattern of vitamin D supplementation in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery in deficit of vitamin D.

Patients receive a single oral dose of vitamin D, during the 28 days will be done a kinetic curve. Then and over the next 3 months, levels are normalized. Once normalized, will be administered another single oral dose to a second pharmacokinetic evaluation.

Read the detailed description

The study is conducted in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery (for bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) in deficit of vitamin D.

Will include a total of 44 patients, 22 from each type of surgery. Patients receive a single oral dose of vitamin D of 50,000 IU. During the 28 days after administration of vitamin D will be done a kinetic curve determining plasma levels of vitamin D on 15 occasions. Then and over the next 3 months, levels are normalized by providing a daily oral dose for each patient. Once levels are normalized, will be administered another single oral dose of 50,000 IU vitamin D and proceed to a second pharmacokinetic evaluation determining plasma levels 15 times.

Patient follow up is approximately 36 weeks. Patients go to the screening visit, baseline visit and visits on days 1, 2, 3, 14 and 28 days after each pharmacokinetic evaluation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CholecalciferolDrug

    Also called Oral Cholecalciferol for pharmacokinetics determination:, - VITAMIN D3 Kern Pharma mixed with chocolate or vanilla custard, Standarization cholecalciferol dose depends on baseline levels as indicated below:, - <10 2800 UI

    One baseline oral dose of 50.000 UI to determine pharmacokinetics. After 28 days, patients take a period of 90 days of standardization of cholecalciferol based on baseline levels. After this period, patients receive a second oral dose of 50.000 UI to determine a second pharmacokinetics.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of pharmacokinetic parameters

    Comparison of the pharmacokinetic parameters of vitamin D according to a non compartimental approach (AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, Cmax and t1/2) between a state of vitamin D and after normalization of the same.

    Measured: 36 weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Comparison of the pharmacokinetic parameters between the two types of surgery

    Comparison of the pharmacokinetic parameters of vitamin D according to a non-compartmental approach (AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, Cmax and t1 / 2) between the two types of surgery (bypass and sleeve gastrectomy)

    Measured: 36 weeks

  2. Proportion of patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism in both surgeries.

    Measured: 36 weeks

  3. Change from baseline levels of urinary excretion of calcium in both surgeries

    Measured: 36 weeks

  4. Change from baseline levels of urinary excretion creatinine in both surgeries

    Measured: 36 weeks

  5. Change from baseline in both biochemistry surgery

    Changes in total protein, albumin, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium will be analyzed.

    Measured: 36 weeks

  6. Change from baseline alkaline phosphatase levels in both surgeries

    Measured: 36 weeks

  7. Change from baseline body fat distribution by DEXA

    Measured: 36 weeks

  8. Changes adherence in both surgeries

    Measured: 36 weeks

  9. Incidence of adverse and clinical laboratory events for each of the surgeries

    Measured: 36 weeks

  10. Proportion of patients with serious adverse events related to medication

    Measured: 36 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cholecalciferol in people with Obesity and Gastric Bypass, run by Hospital Clinic of Barcelona at 1 site in Spain.

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 9 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 11 Jul 2012. 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 Spain. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Violeta Moize, MD (+34 93 227 54 00, vmoize@clinic.ub.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of pharmacokinetic parameters (time frame: 36 weeks). 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 11 Jul 2012.
