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

8 years to 17 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  8. If taking >1,700 IU/day of nutritional vitamin D, must discontinue or decrease the dose to ≤1,700 IU/day, maintain that dose for the duration of the study, and complete an 8-week washout period prior to commencing treatment in the study provided that serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D is ≥30 ng/mL. The washout period is not necessary if serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D is <30 ng/mL.

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
