About this study

Official title: The Assessment of the Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on the Serum of AGES and Endothelialy Factors and Gene Expression of Glyoxalase Enzyme and YKL-40 Factor in PBMC Cells in the Patients With Type 2 Diabetes .

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of vitamin D or placebo for 3 months on the gene expression of glyoxalase enzyme, RAGE, and YKL40 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and serum levels of YKL40,AGEs, TNF-α, PAI-1, IL-6, and HbA1c of diabetes type 2 patients.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of vitamin D or placebo for 3 months on the gene expression of plasma human cartilage glycoprotein 39(YKL40), receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and glyoxalase enzyme in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and serum levels of YKL40 ,plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), TNF-α, advanced glycation end products (AGEs ), IL-6, and HbA1c of diabetes type 2 patients.

In this randomized, double-blind clinical trial, placebo-controlled study, 84 women and men with type 2 diabetes are enrolled from the Iranian Center of diabetes. At the start of study, all participants will sign informed consent and complete a general information form. 24-hour food record for 3 days will be taken from the patients at the beginning and the end of the study. Selected samples by using stratified randomization method based on sex, gender and body mass index (BMI) are classified into 2 groups: 1) receiving vitamin D supplement 2) receiving vitamin D placebo bo.

The vitamin D supplement group will receive 4000 IU (100 microgram) daily for 3 months. The vitamin D placebo group will also receive placebo containing starch both similar in terms of color, shape and size. participants are advised to maintain their diet, level of physical activity and medication dose during the study. Blood samples will be collected after anthropometric parameter measuring then target biochemical parameters, gene expression and serum levels and physical activity will be measured before and after the trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing vitamin D in people with Type2 Diabetes, run by Tehran University of Medical Sciences.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2021. 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. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

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?

serum HbA1c (time frame: Change frome baseline at 3 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03008057, which also lists 2 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 22 Jul 2021.
