About this study

Official title: The Effect of Supplementation With Two Different Doses of Vitamin D (500 IU vs 1000IU)on Bone Mineral Density, Serum 25 Hydroxyvitamin D and Hand Grip Strength in Children With Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 - a Randomized Controlled Trial.

The aim of the study is to assess the effect of 12 month supplementation with two different doses of vitamin D ( 500 vs 1000) on bone mineral density, serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D levels and hand grip strength in preadolescents with diabetes mellitus type 1.

100 children in the of age 8 -11 with diabetes mellitus type 1 lasting for more than 3 months, without history of diabetic ketoacidosis during previous month, without other chronic disease which may affect calcium-phosphorus metabolism will be randomized in a double blind controlled trial to supplement them with either 500 IU or 1000 IU vitamin D. Every 3 months, in spring summer,autumn and winter serum level of calcium,25-hydroxyvitamin D level and HbA1c will be measured. At the entry and at the end of the study patients will have total body and lumbar spine bone mineral density assessment. Every six months hand grip strength will be measured. Additionally at the beginning and after 12 mo of supplementation and at the beginning serum levels of TNF-alfa, osteoprotegerin and IL-6 will be assessed.

Read the detailed description

Evidence indicates that majority (75-90%) of children with diabetes have lower serum concentrations of vitamin D, which may negatively impacts bone health and can be associated with reduction of muscular strength. There is still unknown what is the optimal dose of vitamin D in these patients for adequate supply of vitamin D throughout the year to assure optimal peak bone mass and muscle strengthThe aim of the study is to assess the effect of 12 month supplementation with two different doses of vitamin D ( 500 vs 1000) on bone mineral density, serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D levels and hand grip strength in preadolescents with diabetes mellitus type 1.

100 children in the of age 8 -11 with diabetes mellitus type 1 lasting for more than 3 months, without history of diabetic ketoacidosis during previous month, without other chronic disease which may affect calcium-phosphorus metabolism will be randomized in a double blind controlled trial to supplement them with either 500 IU or 1000 IU vitamin D. Every 3 months, in spring summer,autumn and winter serum level of calcium,25-hydroxyvitamin D level and HbA1c will be measured. At the entry and at the end of the study patients will have total body and lumbar spine bone mineral density assessment. Every six months hand grip strength will be measured. Additionally at the beginning and after 12 mo of supplementation and at the beginning serum levels of TNF-alfa, osteoprotegerin and IL-6 will be assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients with normal bone mineral density (z-score>-1)at lumbar spine(L2-L4)and total body after 12mo of supplementation

    Bone mineral density will be assessed with DEXA (dual energy X ray absorptiometry)method at the beginning of the study and after 12 month of supplementation with vitamin D

    Measured: 12 month

  2. Percentage of patients with adequate 25 hydroxyvitamin level ( >50 ng/ml)

    every 3 month in spring summer autumn and winter each patient will have blood testing for the serum level of 25hydroxyvitamin D.

    Measured: 12 month

  3. Mean bone mineral density z-score (L2-L4, total body) after 12 mo of supplementation

    Bone mineral density will be assessed with DEXA (dual energy X ray absorptiometry)method at the beginning of the study and after 12 month of supplementation with vitamin D

    Measured: 12 month

  4. Mean isometric hand grip force

    assessed at 6 and 12 mo of supplementation

    Measured: 12 month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mean bone mineral density change after 12 mo of supplementation

    Measured: 12 mo

  2. Mean serum level of TNF-alfa, osteoprotegerin, IL-6

    Measured: 12 mo

  3. Mean HBA1C level

    HBA1c level will be assessed at summer,spring,autumn and winter.

    Measured: 12 mo

  4. % patients with HbA1C < 7,5 mg%

    Measured: 12 mo

  5. % patients with vitamin D hypervitaminosis (>200 ng/ml (500 nmol/L) and or hypercalcemia (>2.7 mmol/l) assessed at summer,spring, autumn, and winter

    it will be assessed at summer,spring, autumn, and winter

    Measured: 12 mo

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Vitamin D3 in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, run by Medical University of Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

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 4 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 5 Nov 2013. 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 Poland. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Percentage of patients with normal bone mineral density (z-score>-1)at lumbar spine(L2-L4)and total body after 12mo of supplementation (time frame: 12 month). The study lists 4 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 5 Nov 2013.
