Trial summary

The immunomodulatory effects of vitamin D are known to be beneficial in viral infections, it is also known that its deficiency is associated with a worse prognosis of COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the baseline vitamin D serum concentrations in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic COVID-19 outpatients, as well… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Vitamin D3 Levels in COVID-19 Outpatients From Western Mexico: Clinical Correlation and Effect of Its Supplementation

The immunomodulatory effects of vitamin D are known to be beneficial in viral infections, it is also known that its deficiency is associated with a worse prognosis of COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the baseline vitamin D serum concentrations in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic COVID-19 outpatients, as well as to evaluate the effects of supplementation with 10,00 IU/daily of vitamin D3 and its relationship with biochemical parameters and clinical features.

What is being measured

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

  1. Baseline levels of serum vitamin D in COVID-19 patients

    Evaluate serum levels of 25(OH)D (ng/mL) in patients with covid-19 from western Mexico

    Measured: At baseline

  2. Correlation between D-dimer and vitamin D serum levels in COVID-19 patients

    Serum levels of D-dimer (ng/mL) will be measured at baseline and correlated with levels of 25(OH)D (ng/mL) in patients with covid-19 from western Mexico

    Measured: At baseline

  3. Correlation between transferrin and vitamin D serum levels in COVID-19 patients

    Serum levels of transferrin (mg/dL) will be measured at baseline and correlated with levels of 25(OH)D (ng/mL) in patients with covid-19 from western Mexico

    Measured: At baseline

  4. Correlation between ferritin and vitamin D serum levels in COVID-19 patients

    Serum levels of ferritin (ng/mL) will be measured at baseline and correlated with levels of 25(OH)D (ng/mL) in patients with covid-19 from western Mexico

    Measured: At baseline

  5. Effects of vitamin D3 supplementation on COVID-19 patients

    Serum levels of 25(OH)D (ng/mL) will be determined in the intervention group after 14 days of Vitamin D3 supplementation

    Measured: After 14 days of supplementation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vitamin D3 in people with Covid19, run by University of Guadalajara at 1 site in Mexico.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2021. 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 Mexico. 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.

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?

Baseline levels of serum vitamin D in COVID-19 patients (time frame: At baseline). The study lists 5 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 11 Mar 2021.
