About this study

Official title: Effect of High Dose Vitamin D3 Supplementation on Skeletal Muscle Mass and Body Compositions in Critically Ill Patients With Vitamin D Deficiency

A randomized double blind placebo control trial study will be conducted in critically ill patients with vitamin D deficiency. Investigator aimed to study the effect of oral vitamin D3 supplementation, compare to placebo, on skeletal muscle mass and body composition.

Read the detailed description

There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in critically ill patient which is associated with muscle wasting and physical disability. Recent study showed that treatment of vitamin D deficiency with high dose vitamin D improved muscle wasting and may prevent further muscle breakdown.

Investigator want to explore whether a high dose vitamin D3 supplementation, compare to placebo will be able to improve muscle wasting in critically ill patients.

The eligible participant will be asked to sign and date the informed consent document then they will be randomized to receive vitamin D3 supplement or placebo, using the computer generated code in conceal envelope.

Vitamin D3 or placebo will be given orally or feeding tube via feeding tube at a dose of 100,000 IU on day 1 and 3 then 50,000 IU on day 5,7,9,12 followed by 150,000 unit per week for 4 week.

Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D will be measured at baseline (day 0) then day 10 and day 43 after vitamin D supplementation. Moreover, Investigator will assess the diameter of rectus femoris by using ultrasonography on day 0,10 and 43.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Vitamin D3Drug

    Also called Cholecalciferol (D3-50)

    Vitamin D3 100,000 u per day on day 1,3 then 50,000 u/day on day 5,7,9,12 and continue 50,000 u 3 times/ week for 4 weeks

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called Cholecalciferol (D3-50) placebo

    Placebo on day 1,3,5,7,9,12 then 3 times/ week for 4 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Rectus femoris cross-sectional diameer

    A difference of change from baseline Rectus femoris cross-sectional diameter at day 43 in participant who receive cholecalciferol or placebo

    Measured: Change from baseline Rectus femoris cross-sectional diameter at day 43

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Length of hospital stays

    Participant will be followed for the duration of hospital stay

    Measured: An expected average of 3 weeks

  2. Length of ICU stays

    Participant will be followed for the duration of ICU stay

    Measured: An expected average of 2 weeks

  3. Percentage of skeletal muscle mass

    Percentage of skeletal muscle mass will be assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis

    Measured: Change from basline percentage skeletal muscle mass at day 43

  4. Correction vitamin D deficiency

    Number percentage of participant who above 25(OH)D concentration above or equal 30 in participant who receive cholecalciferol or placebo

    Measured: 43 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Vitamin D3 in people with Vitamin D Deficiency and Sarcopenia, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Nov 2015. 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 Thailand. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Daruneewan Warodomwichit ((662)2011000 ext. 0082, daruneewan@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rectus femoris cross-sectional diameer (time frame: Change from baseline Rectus femoris cross-sectional diameter at day 43). 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 3 Nov 2015.
