- Conditions
- Covid 19Vitamin D Deficiency
- Interventions
- Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D3
- Registration Number
- NCT04407286
- Lead Sponsor
- Arizona State University
- Brief Summary
This study will measure vitamin D levels in adults with COVID 19. Participants with low levels of vitamin D will be entered into an open label trial of supplementation with vitamin D.
- Detailed Description
Protocol for Part 1:
* A single blood draw at SCNM to measure levels of vitamin D and other nutrients, comprehensive metabolic panel, and complete blood count with differential
* Completing a medical history/symptom form
* Completing a form about COVID-19 symptoms every 2 weeks for 6 weeks
* Authorization for release of medical records related to COVID 19 testing and/or treatment.
Protocol for Part 2:
* Take a vitamin D supplement daily for two weeks, at a dosage of 10,000 IU/day b.i.d. (age 18-69 years) or 15,000 IU/day t.i.d. (age 70+)
* After two weeks of taking vitamin D, return to SCNM for a blood draw to remeasure levels of vitamin D, comprehensive metabolic panel, and complete blood count with differential. If vitamin D levels are still below 30 ng/ml, continue the dosage for 3 more weeks. If vitamin D levels are 30-49 ng/ml, continue at a dosage of 5000 IU/day. If vitamin D levels are 50+ ng/ml, stop supplementation.
* Completing questionnaires about COVID 19 symptoms at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after treatment begins (5 minutes each time).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method severity of COVID 19 symptoms baseline and at 2 weeks after vitamin D supplementation We will calculate the change in severity of COVID 19 symptoms from baseline to 2 weeks after vitamin D supplementation
Vitamin D levels baseline and after two weeks of vitamin D supplementation change in level of Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy between the two time points
