Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Pediatric Obesity
Vitamin D Deficiency
Asthma
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D3 oral regimen
Registration Number
NCT03686150
Lead Sponsor
IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network
Brief Summary

The overall objective of the study is to determine the pharmacokinetics of Vitamin D supplementation in children who have asthma and are overweight or obese.

Detailed Description

This study has two parts. In part 1, study participants will be randomized to receive one of four doses of vitamin D supplementation in international units (IU) over at 16-week period: 1) Single 50,000 IU loading dose + 6000 IU daily dose; 2) Single 50,000 IU loading dose + 10,000 IU daily dose: 3) 6000 IU daily dose; or 4) 600 IU daily dose. Based on pharmacokinetic analysis, one of the doses (1-3) will be selected to use in part 2.

In part 2, study participants will be randomized to the dose selected in part 1 or the 600 IU daily dose of vitamin D supplementation to be administered over a 16-week dosing period.

Across both parts, safety of each dose regimen of vitamin D supplementation will be evaluated, and the effectiveness of each dose to achieve a serum level of 25(OH)D greater than or equal to 40 ng/ml will be assessed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part 1: Optimal Dosing Level to Use in Part 220 weeks

Determine the best vitamin D supplementation level based on PK analysis of participants enrolled in Part 1. The PK of 25(OH)D after vitamin D supplementation in children will be characterized using a 2-compartment population PK model (popPK) with linear absorption and elimination kinetics.

Part 2: Proportion of Participants With Vitamin D Levels >= 40 ng/ml16 weeks

Proportion of participants in part 2 who achieve vitamin levels \>= 40 ng/ml
