About this study

Official title: The Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on the Glycemic Control and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Type 2 Diabetes

In many observational studies, vitamin D deficiency is related to glucose intolerance and diabetes. But there little randomized, controlled interventional studies that evaluate the effect of vitamin D in type 2 diabetes.

Investigators investigate the effect of high dose (2000IU) 25-hydroxy vitamin D on type 2 diabetes in glycemic controls, non-alcholic fatty liver disease, and arterial stiffness, and bone turnover markers.

Read the detailed description

After informed consent, investigators randomized 180 type 2 diabetes into interventiona group (25-hydroxy vitamin d 2000 IU+ elemental calcium 200mg per day) or placebo group (elemental calcium 200mg per day). The participants should control diabetes by oral medications or lifestyle intervention at the intervention period. Investigators exclude the participants who took vitamin D or calcium or anti-osteoporotic drugs. Investigators also exclude renal insufficiency (Cr>1.5 in men or Cr>1.4 in women) or heavy alcoholics.

Investigators followed the participants for 24 weeks. After randomization, investigators checked HbA1c,glucose, calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin d, AST, ALT,Creatinine, Parathyroid hormone, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, serum CTX, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, central blood pressure, and aortic augmentation index, and precontrast liver computed tomography. Also investigators checked body weight, height, and peripheral blood pressure.

At 12 weeks, investigators checked HbA1c, 25-hydroxy vitamin D, AST, ALT, calcium, and creatinine.

At the end of the study(at 24 weeks), investigators checked HbA1c, glucose, AST, ALT, Creatinine, calcium, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, serum CTX, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, central blood pressure, aortic augmentation index, and precontrast liver computed tomography.

After the study completed, investiators compared the data of interventional groups and placebo groups.

    Measured: 0, 12week, and 24week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. arterial stiffenss

    central blood pressure brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity aortic augmentation index

    Measured: at 0 and 24-week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Vitamin D3 in people with DIABETES MELLITUS, run by Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 15 May 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 South Korea. 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 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?

glycemic control (time frame: 0, 12week, and 24week). 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 NCT01854463, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 May 2013.
