  • Less than Tanner stage 4 sexual maturity for males or pre-menarche
  • HbA1c less than 7% or greater than 9%
  • T1DM for less than 1 year
  • Vitamin D sufficient (25-OH vit D level > 30 ng/mL)

  • Currently taking any medication other than insulin that alters blood glucose levels, including but not limited to systemic glucocorticoids
  • Inadequate renal function (serum creatinine > 1.5mg/dL in males and > 1.2mg/dL in females) or inadequate liver function (AST and ALT > 2.5 times the upper limit of normal)

About this study

Official title: The Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation on Glycemic Control and Proinflammatory Markers Involved in Microvascular Complications in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes.

The investigators are conducting a prospective cross-over study to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on diabetes control and the pro-inflammatory markers involved in microvascular complications in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes. The investigators expect to see a significant improvement in glycemic control and a reduction of serum pro-inflammatory markers in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes and vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, who are treated with vitamin D.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemoglobin A1c

    The primary endpoint in this study will be the difference in change in Hemoglobin A1c between the treatment and non-treatment periods (6 months)

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Pro-inflammatory markers

    Change in pro-inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, TNF-α) between treatment and non-treatment periods

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Vitamin D level and proinflammatory markers

    Correlation between change in vitamin D levels and circulating pro-inflammatory markers, including CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Vitamin D levels on insulin requirements

    Correlation between the change of vitamin D levels on insulin requirements

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Vitamin D level and HbA1c

    Correlation between the change in vitamin D level in the blood and change in HbA1c

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Baseline differences between vitamin D deficient & sufficient subjects

    Comparison of baseline differences between vitamin D deficient/insufficient subjects and vitamin D sufficient subjects (including pro-inflammatory markers, HbA1c and total daily insulin requirements

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vitamin D in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Vitamin D Deficiency/Insufficiency, run by Children's Hospital Los Angeles at 1 site in United States.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2017. 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. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Hemoglobin A1c (time frame: 6 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 8 May 2017.
