About this study

To investigate whether preoperative supplement with high-dose vitamin D3 can reduce the perioperative risk and enhance recovery

Read the detailed description

Perioperative management for risk reduction in patients undergoing major surgery are taken increasingly important nowadays. The patient factor (age and comorbidities mainly), type of surgery and extent of tissue injury are major contributions to the development perioperative complications. From nutrition support to nutrition therapy, a comprehensive nutrition plays a pivotal role to optimize the above three key factors and hence reduce the perioperative risk. Vitamin D, a pleiotropic hormone with extensive physiological effect, is one of the nutrients critical to perioperative outcomes. It not only meets the essential demand of surgical patients, such as wound care, infection control, metabolic support and organ support, but also attenuates oxidative stress, modulates dys-inflammation and repair the damaged organelles like telomere and mitochondria. This is a double-blind, randomized controlled trial in a single center. Sixty eligible adult patients who will undergo general surgery are to be included.

The experimental group will receive 576000 IU in single oral dose of liquid vitamin D 3~7 days prior to the surgery. The primary endpoint is rapid recovery index, such as bowel recovery, pain control, sedation and fatigue assessment. The secondary endpoints include perioperative inflammatory indexes, hemodynamic parameters, glycemic control as well as safety evaluation of vitamin D.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vitamin D3 and 95% MCT in people with Vitamin D Deficiency and Surgery, run by National Taiwan University Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Mortality rate (time frame: 30 days). 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 14 Dec 2022.
