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

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The proposed study investigates safety and efficacy of a new topical vitamin D3 compound. The purpose of this Phase 1 trial is to determine whether topical application makes Vitamin D bioavailable to the systemic circulation in sufficient quantities to treat hypovitaminosis D. The study will assess the change in serum 25-hydroxy (25-OH) vitamin D concentrations following 3 doses of 100,000 IU or 3 doses of 300,000 IU of topical vitamin D3 ointment in volunteers with vitamin D deficiency. Adults with serum 25-OH vitamin D concentrations of < 20 ng/ml will receive a total of 300,000 IU or 900,000 IU in divided doses of topical vitamin D once per week for three weeks. Two 0.75 ml applicators of ointment will be applied to each upper arm (50,000 IU or 150,000 IU per arm) by study staff. Blood will be drawn at baseline prior to the first dose (Day 0) and on Days 7, 14, and 21. Total serum 25-OH vitamin D will be assayed at each draw. Parathyroid hormone, a measure of clinical effects of low vitamin D levels, will be checked at baseline and on day 21. Serum albumin adjusted calcium levels will be checked with each draw to check for possible effects of too much vitamin D absorption. The study will determine whether the topical application of Vitamin D ointment is able to correct existing vitamin D deficiency.

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

18 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study
