11 Clinical Trials for Vitamin Deficiency
This is a single site double blind randomized controlled trial of replacing Vitamin D for Vitamin D-deficient burn patients at a current recommended dose (400 IU daily) versus a higher dose (4000 IU daily). Capsules will be made in a compounding pharmacy and will look identical. Randomized controlled trial. People who meet the selection criteria will be randomized to either low or high dosage of Vitamin D. Treatment arm is high dose Vitamin D (4000 IU), and control is low dose Vitamin D (400 IU). Main outcome variables include PROMIS-29 measures of physical health, mental health and social health, the Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12), and the 4-D Itch Scale. Secondary outcome variables include subject demographics, injury demographics and characteristics.
Infants The purpose of this study is to measure breastmilk's vitamin D sulfate nutritional value in infant's saliva and digesta (gut). Breastfeeding Mothers The purpose of this study is to measure Vitamin D sulfates in freshly expressed breastmilk samples before and after 28 days of Vitamin D supplementation in lactating mothers.
The objective of the study is to compare supplementation with vitamin D at 800 IU/day to usual care for the first 28 days after birth with respect to 25 (OH) vitamin D levels and indicators of likely or plausible effects of vitamin D supplementation on the function or structure of the lung, bones, immune system, and brain in extremely premature (EP) infants who are \<28 weeks gestational age (GA) or \<1000 grams of birth weight (BW). The study results will be analyzed as intention to treat Bayesian analyses (Frequentist analyses will also be performed).

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.
This study is a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized trial of study subjects with PCOS and low vitamin D to 2 groups- placebo and vitamin D replacement. Participants and investigators will be blinded to treatment modality until the end of the trial period
The investigators will be administering oral high dose interval vitamin D, concurrently when participants are receiving biologic therapy for their inflammatory bowel disease. The investigators will be collecting some additional bloodwork and questionnaires at the time of participants infusions.
Vitamin D status has been shown to have an effect on post-operative outcomes in total joint arthroplasty. The goal of this study is to determine if pre-operative supplementation and correction of Vitamin D deficiency can reduce postoperative complications.
This trial will evaluate whether a particular type of circulating white blood cell, monocytes, from type 2 diabetics with high blood pressure and vitamin D deficiency vs. sufficiency will induce hormones that increase blood pressure.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate post-transplant immune reconstitution and lymphocyte recovery as well as the 3-year progression-free survival of patients with multiple myeloma in two treatment arms. One arm will receive Maintenance Vitamin D and the other arm will receive no maintenance Vitamin D prior to ASCT. Post ASCT arm 1 will have lenalidomide and maintenance VitD, and arm 2 will receive lenalidomide and no maintenance VitD. This clinical trial will also evaluate the overall response rate and survival for both treatment arms.
The purpose of this research study is to see if the amount of vitamin D in ones blood makes it more or less likely to develop thyroid gland toxicity when being treated with immunotherapy that blocks the activity of proteins called programed death-1(PD-1) or programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). Immunotherapy is treatment that makes changes to the immune system to try to fight cancer. Immunotherapy treatments that block the activity of important parts of the immune system called PD-1 and PD-L1 are used to standardly treat many different types of cancer and can cause thyroid toxicity in certain people. In this study the treatment for your cancer is not research treatment but standard of care determined by your oncologist. Blood will be drawn before starting treatment to determine the amount of Vitamin D and also to assess thyroid function. Also questionnaires will be completed before starting treatment and while on treatment to assess symptoms you are experiencing.
