About this study

Official title: Knowledge Innovation Project of CAS - Genetic and Nutritional Association Studies on Metabolism-related Diseases in Chinese Population -- Vitamin D Intervention Study:A Pilot Study

To determine the dose-response between the doses of vitamin D3 supplements and raised serum levels of 25(OH)D and also the dose of vitamin D3 required to achieve circulating 25(OH)D ≥ 75 nmol/L;

Read the detailed description

Recent epidemiological studies suggested that serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration ≥75 nmol/L appeared to be optimal for preventing cardiometabolic diseases and improving bone health. To achieve this goal, a daily intake of 1000 IU or equivalent amount from other sources, is needed, which is twice as much as the RDA recommended by Chinese Nutrition Society. Meanwhile,epidemiological evidences show that large proportions of Chinese may suffer vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency whereas the current RDA in China might be too low to provide adequate vitamin D for people's health.

In order to fill up this gap, therefore, it is essential to determine the dose-response between the doses of vitamin D3 supplements and raised serum levels of 25(OH)D and also the dose of vitamin D3 required to achieve circulating 25(OH)D ≥ 75 nmol/L.Ultimately, the current study will provide important evidence for establishing optimal vitamin D requirement for Chinese people

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vitamin D in people with Vitamin D Deficiency, run by Chinese Academy of Sciences at 1 site in China.

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 1 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 18 Jan 2016. 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 China. 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 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.

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 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?

25-hydroxyvitamin D (time frame: 16 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 18 Jan 2016.
