DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF STUDY PROCEDURES. Three hundred thirty (330) overweight, pre-hypertensive/controlled hypertensive, African-American participants will be enrolled in a 8 week study to assess the effect of two administrations of Vitamin D3 on Vitamin D serum responsiveness as a function of clinical, biologic and genetic factors. The investigators anticipate that at least 300 participants will complete this study.

Written, signed and dated informed consent to participate in the study will be given by the participant or a legally acceptable representative, in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guideline E6 and applicable regulations, before completing any study-related activities/procedures. The original signed and dated consent will be kept in the subject's research file and a copy given to the subject. A copy will also be placed in their medical record.

BLOOD PRESSURE CONTROL. Controlled high blood pressure is entry criteria, but not an outcome. However, the investigators want to exclude potential participants who are likely to have poor BP control during the study. Therefore, although patients with pre-hypertension or hypertension are eligible to be entered into the study, the protocol only allows enrollment of participants with well-controlled hypertension as defined by SBP≥ 120 mmHg or DBP ≥ 80 mmHg if not on treatment, and SBP \<160 mmHg or DBP \< 100 mmHg regardless of whether on treatment or not. BP care will be managed by the participants' primary or other provider. All participants being actively treated for hypertension with pharmacotherapy will receive direction to adhere to their medication and to follow-up with their Primary Care Physician. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes as defined by hemoglobin A1c > 8.5% or advanced kidney disease as defined by eGFR \< 45 ml/min are excluded. After the study is concluded, all participants will be encouraged and supported to address issues of diet and exercise that may reduce their risk for hypertension. If BP medications need to be adjusted, participants will be referred back to their Primary Care Physician.

VISIT 1 - SCREENING. The screening period will allow for the determination of appropriateness of each subject's inclusion in the study. Written informed consent from the subject or their legally authorized representative would have been obtained prior to any study-related procedures being performed. In addition to signing the general informed consent, subjects who agree to participate the sub-study with fat biopsy will sign a second informed consent.

The subject will be assigned a screening number and will be contacted regarding eligibility once all screening procedures have been performed and laboratory results received.

The following evaluations and assessments will be performed during Screening:

inclusion/exclusion criteria, medical history (including demographics and concomitant medications, including prescription, herbal/vitamins, and all over-the-counter medications), vital signs (sitting BP, heart rate), and a mini physical examination (which will include height (cm), weight (kg), and waist circumference (cm) from which body mass index (BMI) will be calculated and a clinical heart/lung examination. Blood will be drawn (15 cc) for full biochemistry panel with glucose (mg/dl), complete blood count, HbA1c (%), calcium (mg/dl), phosphorus (mg/dl), albumin (mg/dl), pregnancy test and 25(OH)D (ng/ml) levels. After screening information is reviewed and deemed to be appropriate for inclusion in the study, eligible subjects will be given an appointment and preparatory instructions for Visit 2 (Baseline/Randomization/Dose#1). Instructions include cessation of smoking (if they smoke), eating, or drinking caffeine for at least 8 hours prior to the Baseline Visit. If participants are taking prescribed medications, they will be asked to bring them and advised to take them as prescribed.

VISIT 2 - BASELINE/ RANDOMIZATION/ STUDY DRUG DOSE#1 ADMINISTRATION. If subject meets all of the inclusion/exclusion criteria, they will be randomized. The participant will be asked about any adverse events and changes in medications, including prescription, herbal/vitamin, and over-the-counter medications. Vital signs (sitting BP, heart rate) will be obtained and a nutritional survey administered. Blood will be drawn (45 cc) for serum calcium (mg/dl), phosphorus (mg/dl), albumin (mg/dl), iPTH (pg/ml) and 1-84 PTH/7-84 PTH ratio, pregnancy test, 25(OH)D (ng/ml) levels; and samples stored for bio-markers (e.g. pro-inflammatory/pro-thrombotic/fibrotic, insulin sensitivity, and vitamin D receptor polymorphisms). Spot urine sample (30cc) will be collected for calcium/creatinine and albumin/creatinine ratios as well as sodium and isoprostanes. The fat biopsy will be performed on those that agree to be part of the subgroup. Participants undergoing the fat biopsy will be given post biopsy instructions including a return appointment in 7-10 days.

Visit will last about 30-60 minutes for most participants. At the end of the visit, participant will be randomized and given either two 50,000 IU tablets of oral Vitamin D3 [also known as cholecalciferol or 25 hydroxy-Vitamin D3 or 25 (OH) D3] or two tablets of Placebo (microcrystalline cellulose) to take under direct observation. All the participants will be given an appointment and preparatory instructions for Study Visit 3. They will also be asked to avoid any other vitamin D supplements during study period.

VISIT 3 - STUDY DRUG DOSE#2 ADMINISTRATION (2 weeks after baseline). Visit will last about 15 minutes for most participants. Participant will be asked about any adverse events and changes in medications, including prescription, herbal, and over-the-counter medications. Vital signs will be obtained. Participant will be given their second dose of either two 50,000 IU tablets of oral Vitamin D3 or two tablets of Placebo to take under direct observation. All the participants will be given an appointment and preparatory instructions for Study Visit 4 (Week 6).

VISIT 4 (Week 6). During this visit participant will be asked about any adverse events including possible symptoms of vitamin D overdose and changes in medications, including prescription, herbal, and over-the-counter medications. In addition, the following evaluations and assessments will also be performed: vital signs (sitting BP, heart rate). Blood will be drawn (3 tablespoon or 45 cc) for full biochemistry panel, with glucose (mg/dl), HbA1c (%), complete blood count, calcium (mg/dl), phosphorus (mg/dl), albumin (mg/dl), iPTH (pg/ml) and 1-84 PTH/7-84 PTH ratio, and 25(OH)D (ng/ml) levels; and stored samples for bio markers (e.g. pro-inflammatory/pro- thrombotic/fibrotic, insulin sensitivity, and vitamin D receptor polymorphisms). Spot urine sample will be collected for calcium/creatinine and albumin/creatinine ratios as well as sodium and isoprostanes. Urine pregnancy test will also be done. Participants undergoing the fat biopsy will be given post biopsy instructions and will have an additional 7-10 days of follow-up.

VISIT 5 - END OF STUDY (Week 8). At the End of Study visit (EOS), participant will be asked about any adverse events including possible symptoms of vitamin D overdose. In addition, the following evaluations and assessments will also be performed: vital signs (sitting BP and heart rate). The results of the labs from the previous visit will be discussed and if there are any abnormal lab values, participant will be referred to primary care physician for further management.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Plasma PTH Level

    Building upon our hypothesis above, this aim exploits the fact that the nuclear Vit-D Receptor (VDR) regulates parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene transcription. Therefore the plasma PTH level serves as a sensitive biomarker of the Vit-D nutri-genomic response. This aim will define the multivariate determinants (covariates such as age, BMI, baseline Vit-D level and dietary calcium) of the Vit-D-PTH level relationship (the primary outcome variable) in African-Americans. It is anticipated that the Vit-D supplementation trial will document a wide variance of Vit-D-PTH level relationships that will identify patients at the upper and lower quartiles of the distribution that are either 'nutrient-responsive' or 'nutrient-resistant'. These studies should help identify the 'clinical' characteristics of the sub-set of African-Americans that exhibit the poorest response to Vit-D supplementation.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2013 to primary completion in Mar 2016, 30 months.

Results were first posted in May 2018, 2 years 2 months after primary completion.

Of 168 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Vitamin D Deficiency, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 29. This study's 30 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 170 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 29.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 15, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
