About this study

Official title: The Role of Vitamin D3 in Pediatric Bronchiectasis Severity( CF Versus Non CF Bronchioectasis)

Vitamin D3 therapy was effective in decreasing the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations and preserving lung functions , thereby improving the disease severity even more in non CF than CF bronchiectasis patients

Read the detailed description

Objectives: To compare the effect of vitamin D3 on modifying the disease severity in CF and non CF bronchiectasis pediatric patients.

Patients and Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial evaluating the role of oral vitamin D3 supplementation for 6 months in forty patients with CF and non CF bronchiectasis under the age of 18 years with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency . The primary outcome was to reach the sufficient Vitamin D level. The secondary outcome was to follow up the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations and lung function after vitamin D3 supplementation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Cholecalciferol (vitaminD3) in people with Cystic Fibrosis and Non CF Bronchiectasis, run by Heba Omara at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 2 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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 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?

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?

reach sufficient vitamin D level (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Jun 2020.
