Trial summary

Vitamin D has pleiotropic effects. Burn patients are at risk of hypovitaminosis D and may experience post-injury osteopenia and sarcopenia. Investigators hypothesized that vitamin D supplementation during one year can improve bone and muscle health in post-burn period. Read more about this study

What is being measured

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

  1. calcidiol blood concentration

    Measured: at the end of the protocol (after one year)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. bone health

    bone formation and resorption markers (blood concentrations) bone mineral density measurement using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry

    Measured: at the end of the protocol (after one year)

  2. muscle strength

    Measurements of knee muscles strength on an isokinetic dynamometer

    Measured: at the end of the protocol (after one year)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cholecalciferol in people with Vitamin D and Burn Injury, run by University of Liege at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 20 Mar 2014. 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 Belgium. 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?

calcidiol blood concentration (time frame: at the end of the protocol (after one year)). 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 20 Mar 2014.
