About this study

This is a study performed to evaluate the role of vitamin D supplementation on the strength of levator ani muscle in menopausal women with pelvic organ prolapse

Read the detailed description

Forty eight POP women were divided into experimental and control groups in this quasi-experimental study. The experimental group was given 0.5 mcg alfacalcidol orally for three months. We measured levator ani muscle strength, serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3 levels, and serum Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) levels at zero months and three months preoperative. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assessed VDR and myoblast determination protein 1 (MyoD) protein expressions in levator ani muscle surgical biopsies.

Being tested
Alfacalcidol 0.0005 MG, Placebo
Keywords
Alfacalcidol, MyoD expression, pelvic organ prolapse, vitamin D receptorr, levator ani muscle strength
Medical subject headings
Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Alfacalcidol 0.0005 MG in people with Pelvic Organ Prolapse, run by Universitas Padjadjaran at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 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 17 Aug 2022. 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 Indonesia. 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?

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?

Vitamin D3 levels (time frame: 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 NCT05505253, 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 17 Aug 2022.
