Trial summary

It is essential that serum 25(OH)D changes following surgery be clarified, and the mechanism(s) underpinning these changes be identified. As such, the overarching hypothesis of this study is that elective total hip arthroplasty reduces serum total 25(OH)D. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 50 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adults age 50+ undergoing elective total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis will be included. We will exclude individuals having these procedures for other conditions, e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis and those undergoing reoperation of a previous hip arthroplasty.

Who may be able to join

  • Elective total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis
  • Age 50+
  • Able and willing to sign informed consent
  • English speaking
  • Willing to not alter vitamin D supplementation use for the duration of this study
  • Willing to utilize sunscreen of SPF-15 or higher when sun exposure for more than 15 minutes is expected

Who cannot join

  • Illnesses known to affect inflammatory marker status including, but not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosis and mixed connective tissue disease
  • Chronic diseases that could potentially affect DBP status, e.g., chronic kidney disease stage requiring dialysis, nephrotic syndrome and chronic hepatitis,
  • Hip arthritis from causes other than osteoarthritis
  • Treatment with medications with potential to affect vitamin D metabolism, (e.g., phenytoin, phenobarbital, teriparatide or active vitamin D analogues) or to potentially interfere with 25(OH)D measurement by HPLC (atavaquone) within the preceding three months.
  • Treatment with high dose vitamin D supplementation (50,000 IU weekly or more frequently) within the preceding three months. Note; subjects on a stable daily vitamin D dose will be allowed to participate
  • Surgical procedure within the preceding six months
  • Use of tanning beds or salons or unwillingness to utilize sunscreen during periods of sun exposure of 15 minutes or longer

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in total 25(OH)D

    Measured: Measured at the pre-operative visit on the day of surgery, post-operative visit (on average 1 to 2 days after surgery), and 6 weeks post-operative visit

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. DBP (vitamin D binding protein) in serum and urine will be evaluated for 25(OH)D degradation after surgical intervention.

    We will evaluate if free 25(OH)D varies over the peri-operative time period. We will evaluate whether the total 25(OH)D change is related to reduced serum DBP and/or increased urinary DBP excretion. We will also correlate the change in free 25(OH)D with serum DBP changes.

    Measured: Samples are collected at pre-operative visit on the day of surgery, post-operative (on average 1 to 2 days after surgery) and 6 weeks post-operative visits

  2. Effects of hip arthroplasty on vitamin D metabolite levels in the blood.

    We will evaluate the acute and chronic effects of hip arthroplasty on vitamin D metabolites, vitamin D pathway constituents, inflammation, oxidative stress and metabolic markers in plasma using mass spectrometric proteomic and metabolomics analysis.

    Measured: Samples are collected at pre-operative visit on the day of surgery, post-operative (on average 1 to 2 days after surgery) and 6 weeks post-operative visits

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vitamin D Deficiency, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison.

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 7 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 11 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Change in total 25(OH)D (time frame: Measured at the pre-operative visit on the day of surgery, post-operative visit (on average 1 to 2 days after surgery), and 6 weeks post-operative visit). 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 Jun 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 4 Nov 2026.
