About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Double Blind, Randomized, Phase 4, Clinical Trial of The Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation on Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Vitamin D Deficiency

Vitamin D plays a key role in keeping normal mineral balance and maintaining bone health. There is accumulating evidence linking deficient vitamin D status with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of high dose vitamin D supplementation (120000 units per month)for 6 months on glucose homeostasis and glycemic control,in vitamin D deficient patients with non-optimally controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double blind, parallel group, clinical trial for 6 months duration.

The study group participants will receive vitamin D supplementation (120,000 IU per month) versus the placebo group for 6 months. glycemic control indexes will be measured in T2DM diagnosed study subjects.

Patient will be randomized 1:1 to one of two treatment groups. Vitamin D group vs placebo group.

Randomization kits will include either vitamin D or vitamin D placebo. Blood screens will be taken prior, after 3 months from randomization and after 6 months from randomization. Anthropometric measurements will be drawn as well, at the same time points.

Determination of sample size In order to find a 0.5 mean difference in HgA1C between the two treatment arms (standard deviation 1.2) a 184 sample size will be required to achieve 80% power, 5% alpha (two sided test).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing vitamin D3 in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Vitamin D Deficiency, run by HaEmek Medical Center, Israel at 1 site in Israel.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 27 Feb 2018. 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 Israel. 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 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?

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?

Change in Hba1c (%) in study groups (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT01991054, which also lists 39 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 27 Feb 2018.
