About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Various Vitamin D Protocols on Raising and Maintaining Blood Serum 25(OH)D3 Levels Over a Three Month Period

Analyze the amount of change in blood serum Vitamin D levels in patients of 3 different dosing groups and how their levels change over a 3 month period of time.

Read the detailed description

Vitamin D has shown multiple health benefits specifically in regards to bone healing. To the investigators knowledge there are currently no protocols for Vitamin D supplementation in the Orthopedic community for patients recovering from fractures. The investigators study will monitor 3 different groups of volunteers taking various Vitamin D regimens and how participants blood serum 25(OH)D3 levels are effected throughout a 3 month period. The 3 groups will include: 1) 100,000 units D2 once on day one, 2) 100,000 units D2 taken once a week x 12 weeks, 3) 50,000 units D2 x 10 days, then 2000 units D3 taken daily for the remainder of the study period. There will be 15-20 volunteers randomly assigned to each of the 3 groups. The investigators will have each volunteer from the 3 groups have blood drawn a total of 4 times throughout the course of this study: prior to the study, week 2, week 6, and week 12. From these results the investigators will determine which protocol most effectively raises and maintains vitamin D levels in the volunteers through this 3 month period. The investigators will also use this data to determine which protocol is not only most cost efficient but also easiest to follow by individuals. The investigators are hoping that this study may help finally develop a universal orthopedic protocol for vitamin D supplementation in patients recovering from fractures.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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 D (time frame: Three Months). 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 21 Jun 2017.
