Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium balance, heart and lung health, inflammation, infection prevention, and muscle strength. Due to these roles, it has been suggested that critically ill patients with low vitamin D levels might have higher rates of death and worse long-term health. We believe that identifying critically ill children with vitamin D deficiency and then restoring vitamin D levels quickly could represent a safe, easy and inexpensive means of reducing patient illness, preventing death and improving quality of life. This clinical trial will determine whether rapid normalization of vitamin D deficiency improves survival and health-related quality of life following critical illness. The VITdALIZE-KIDS trial is a multicentre randomized clinical trial in Canadian Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs). Critically ill children who agree to participate (consent given by caregivers) will have their blood vitamin D level measured, and those who are vitamin D deficient will be randomized to receive a single dose of either high-dose vitamin D3 or placebo (no drug). Study participants assigned to the high-dose vitamin D arm will receive 10,000 IU/kg of enteral cholecalciferol (up to a maximum of 400,000 IU). We have tested this dose in a pilot trial, and no patient experienced serious adverse events related to vitamin D administration. Patients will be followed for 90 days to determine whether they survived and had a significant change in their health and quality of life. Vitamin D deficiency is a common problem not only among critically ill Canadian children, but in PICUs worldwide. In addition to being applicable in Canada, our study protocol was designed to be generalizable and meaningful to critically ill children worldwide.

Vitamin D Supplementation for Breast Cancer

Winston-Salem, North Carolina
A two arm pilot study investigating the rate of pathologic complete response in patients with vitamin D deficiency and triple negative breast cancer undergoing standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy + vitamin D supplementation, including an observational arm to describe response in patients who are not deficient. Investigators hypothesize that vitamin D supplementation during neoadjuvant chemotherapy in operable triple negative breast cancer patients with vitamin D deficiency, will increase the rate of pathologic complete response chain reaction to that of vitamin D sufficient patients based on historical controls.

Vitamin D for Preeclampsia

Los Angeles, California
This study is designed to comprehensively investigate the anti-inflammatory role of vitamin D in reproductive aged women, and its association with preeclampsia and depression. Findings will have substantial impact providing new information implicated in the development of preeclampsia (a condition that may include hypertension, tissue swelling caused by excessive fluid, and kidney stress) and postpartum depression (after birth). Additionally, the study is designed to understand how early mental health screening and evaluation can help pregnant women reduce their risk of developing postpartum depression. Testing the acceptability and effectiveness of this mental health screening, education and referral program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will provide valuable patient centered qualitative and quantitative data that can be used in future services planning. The study will enroll up to 200 pregnant women (in third trimester of pregnancy) in total.

This Phase II randomized clinical trial aims to test if supplementation with high dose oral vitamin D will successfully correct vitamin D insufficiency, compared to treatment with standard (RDA) dose vitamin D in a diverse community-based elderly cohort. The effect of high-dose vs. standard-dose vitamin D on altering cognitive trajectories will also be assessed and data will be expected to be used in designing a potential definitive Phase III trial in elderly groups at risk for dementia. A total of 180 elderly persons with longitudinal biomarkers, neuropsychological testing and brain MRI scans will be enrolled, with 152 (\~50 with MCI, 50 with mild AD and 50 with no cognitive impairment) expected to complete the 3½-year study. One-half of each diagnostic group will be randomized to treatment with high-dose vitamin D3 (4,000 IU daily) or to standard dose Vitamin D (600 IU capsule daily + \~200 IU dietary = \~800 IU total/day). Longitudinal MRI analyses will provide an estimate of the treatment effect size on brain atrophy rate. Vitamin D receptor genotype polymorphisms and their impact on response to oral supplementation will also be examined. If vitamin D supplementation improves cognitive outcome, this could have a large impact on the public health, since low vitamin D status is a common, readably treatable condition which may provide a novel window to prevent dementia and AD. Furthermore, the higher prevalence of AD and dementia in African Americans and Latinos could be partially attributable to vitamin D insufficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Vitamin D Deficiency clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Vitamin D Deficiency clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Vitamin D Deficiency trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Vitamin D Deficiency is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Vitamin D Deficiency medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Vitamin D Deficiency clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added Folic Acid Supplementation for Neural Tube Defects Prevention, Vitamin A for Graft-versus-Host Disease and Vitamin D + Lenalidomide for Multiple Myeloma to the Power online platform.
