About this study
Official title: Oral or Intra Muscular Vitamin D2 Vs Oral or Intra Muscular Vitamin D3 in Treatment of Vitamin D Deficiency.
The main purpose of this research is to find out if there is any difference between treating vitamin D deficiency with oral vitamin D3 or I.M vitamin D2. The second aim of this research is to confirm the superiority of Vitamin D3 over Vitamin D2 in treating vitamin D deficiency. Additional useful information in this research is to find out the best recommended maintenance dose of vitamin D and formula by having regular follow up of treated individuals once their serum vitamin D level reach the recommended normal serum level.
Read the detailed description
In a systemic review, it was found that treating individuals who have vitamin D deficiency with vitamin D3 rather than vitamin D2 would be a better option. Vitamin D3 is superior in treating Vitamin D deficiency according to this systemic review. However, this systemic review raised a question of comparing oral to I.M treatment of vitamin D deficiency and no Data was available to support either treatment above the other.
The main purpose of this research is to find out if there is any difference between treating vitamin D deficiency with oral vitamin D3 or I.M vitamin D2. The second aim of this research is to confirm the superiority of Vitamin D3 over Vitamin D2 in treating vitamin D deficiency. Additional useful information in this research is to find out the best recommended maintenance dose of vitamin D and formula by having regular follow up of treated individuals once their serum vitamin D level reach the recommended normal serum level.
The research will involve 100 patients between the age of 20-50 years old. They will be divided into 4 groups. Each group will have either oral or I.M vitamin D2 or oral or I.M vitamin D3. The oral doses will be 50000 international units to be taken weekly and the I.M doses will be of 300000 international units which will be taken once every 6 weeks. Vitamin D level will be checked once every 4 weeks. The initial expected duration of the first phase of the research will be about 6-12 weeks which will give us a good orientation to answer the main and the second questions. Then the follow up may take up to another 6 months to check the maintenance dose of the best recommended oral or I.M treatment of bolus doses in certain intervals as initial trial.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Vitamin D DeficiencyDrug
The first phase will involve studying 4 groups with the outcome (percentage of patients attaining Vitamin D levels \>30ng/ml) at 3 months to show the superiority of any of the groups. Vitamin D levels will be checked at baseline then 6 and 12 weeks. The second phase will include only patients who achieve the target level above 30ng/ml after the first phase and will be randomized to receive either oral Vitamin D2 or oral Vitamin D3 every 2, 3 or 4 weeks for another 3 months.
For patients that achieved normal level in phase 1, we will keep a maintenance dose of the oral Vitamin D for 2 groups with 3 sub-groups under each.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1: Vitamin D2 50000 units per tablet | Experimental | They will take one tablet weekly. Receives: Drug: Vitamin D Deficiency |
| Group 2: Vitamin D2 300000 units Intramuscular injection | Experimental | They will have one injection every 6 weeks initially. Receives: Drug: Vitamin D Deficiency |
| Group 3: Vitamin D3 50000 units tablet | Experimental | They will take one tablet weekly. Receives: Drug: Vitamin D Deficiency |
| Group 4: Vitamin D3 300000 units Intramuscular injection | Experimental | They will have one injection every 6 weeks initially. Receives: Drug: Vitamin D Deficiency |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Is oral Vitamin D3 superior to I.M Vitamin D2 in treating vitamin D deficiency?
The primary outcome will be evaluated after 3 months from administration of the first dose for each subject to assess the serum level of vitamin D is attained. If a subject has reached normal Vitamin D serum level, they are qualified for phase 2 of the study.
Measured: 3 months from the administration of first dose
Secondary outcomes (2)
Confirming superiority of oral Vitamin D3 over oral Vitamin D2
The secondary outcome of confirming the superiority of oral Vitamin D3 over oral Vitamin D2 in treating vitamin D deficiency will be evaluated after a subject has completed 3 months since the administration of the first dose.
Measured: 3 months after administration of the first dose.
to compare the treatment of vitamin D deficiency by using intramuscular injection of vitamin D3 or Vitamin D2
The third outcome also to compare the treatment of vitamin D deficiency by using intramuscular injection of vitamin D3 or Vitamin D2 and establish if there is any treatment is superior to another if we are using the intramuscular injections.
Measured: 3 months after administration of the first dose.
