The Effects of Vitamin D on Glycemic Control and Proinflammatory Markers in Adolescents With T1DM

May 4, 2017 updated by: Roshanak Monzavi MD, Children's Hospital Los Angeles

The Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation on Glycemic Control and Proinflammatory Markers Involved in Microvascular Complications in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes.

The investigators are conducting a prospective cross-over study to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on diabetes control and the pro-inflammatory markers involved in microvascular complications in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes. The investigators expect to see a significant improvement in glycemic control and a reduction of serum pro-inflammatory markers in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes and vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, who are treated with vitamin D.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

13 years to 21 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Between 13 to 21 years of age, with at least Tanner stage 4 sexual maturity for males or post-menarchal females, and T1DM for at least 1 year. To ensure that inclusion criteria for sexual maturity are met, a physical exam for research purposes will be performed.
  2. HbA1c between 7 to 9%
  3. Adequate renal function (serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/dL in males and < 1.2 mg/dL in females) and adequate liver function (AST and ALT < 2.5 times the upper limit of normal)
  4. Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency (25-OH vit D level < 30ng/mL) which will be determined on initial screening labs after consenting subjects.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Less than 13 or greater than 21 years of age
  2. Less than Tanner stage 4 sexual maturity for males or pre-menarche
  3. HbA1c less than 7% or greater than 9%
  4. T1DM for less than 1 year
  5. Vitamin D sufficient (25-OH vit D level > 30 ng/mL)
  6. Currently taking any medication that can interfere with vitamin D synthesis or metabolism, including but not limited to Orlistat, Phenobarbital, Dilantin, Anti-tuberculosis drugs
  7. Currently taking any medication other than insulin that alters blood glucose levels, including but not limited to systemic glucocorticoids
  8. Inadequate renal function (serum creatinine > 1.5mg/dL in males and > 1.2mg/dL in females) or inadequate liver function (AST and ALT > 2.5 times the upper limit of normal)
  9. Evidence of malabsorption or short gut.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hemoglobin A1c
Time Frame: 6 months
The primary endpoint in this study will be the difference in change in Hemoglobin A1c between the treatment and non-treatment periods (6 months)
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pro-inflammatory markers
Time Frame: 6 months
Change in pro-inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, TNF-α) between treatment and non-treatment periods
