About this study

Official title: The Impacts of Vitamin D Supplementation on Glucose Metabolism in Chinese Women With Vitamin D Deficiency and Former Gestational Diabetes Mellitus:A Randomised Control Trial

Vitamin D deficiency are related to insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell function.It is reported that the level of vitamin D is lower during pregnancy and postpartum in the women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. The investigators hypothesize that vitamin D supplementation to women after birth with previous gestational diabetes may improve glucose metabolism.

Read the detailed description

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance that is first identified during pregnancy, excluding diabetic patients diagnosed before pregnancy. GDM can not only have an adverse effect on the pregnant women and the developing fetus, but also can have long lasting effects after birth. GDM can elevates risks of abnormal glucose metabolism postpartum. Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to be associated with insulin resistance and impaired β-cell function. Our previous research also implied that the level of vitamin D is much lower in the women of impaired glucose regulation after birth with history of GDM. This prospective randomized, control clinical trial was designed to evaluate the effects of vitamin D administration on insulin resistance and β-cell function among women with vitamin D deficiency(25OHD <50 ng/mL)and previous GDM. Participants with vitamin D deficiency and previous GDM were divided into normal glucose regulation group(NGR) (n=90) and impaired glucose regulation group(IGR)(n=90) according to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) around 42 days postpartum. And each group was further divided into intervention group and control group, Participants in the intervention group took 1600 units of vitamin D daily for nine months and meanwhile receive lifestyle intervention. The control group only receive lifestyle intervention. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of vitamin D supplementation on insulin sensitivity, pancreatic β-cell function and markers of inflammation in Chinese women with former GDM and vitamin D insufficiency.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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.

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?

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?

Change in glucose metabolism (time frame: 9 months). 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 NCT03138616, which also lists 4 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 9 May 2017.
