Study summary

This prospective controlled interventional study aims to reveal the diversity of vitamin D metabolism in patients with certain endocrine disorders (Cushing's disease, acromegaly, primary hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus type 1) compared to healthy adults. All patients will receive a single dose (150,000 IU) of cholecalciferol aqueous solution orally. Laboratory assessments including serum vitamin D metabolites (25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 1,25(OH)2D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, 24,25(OH)2D3 and D3), free 25(OH)D, vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) as well as serum and urine biochemical parameters will be performed before the intake and on Days 1, 3 and 7 after the administration.

    • intake of the following drugs during the 3 months preceding the study: vitamin D medications; glucocorticosteroids; antiretroviral drugs; antifungal drugs; cholestyramine, orlistat; antiepileptic drugs; antidepressants (fluoxetine); diuretics (spironolactone); antimicrobial agents (macrolides, tetracyclines, isoniazid, rifampin, primaquine); chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, tamoxifen, paclitaxel, ifosfamide, irinotecan, etoposide, vinblastine); (cyclosporin A, tacrolimus, sirolimus); H2 receptor antagonists.
    • >35 kg/m2
    • pregnancy
    • granulomatous disease (sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, berylliosis, coccidiomycosis)
    • disease with malabsorption syndrome (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, post-bariatric surgery condition, decompensation of chronic pancreatitis)
    • reduced renal function ( \<60 ml/min/1.73m2)
    • laboratory signs of liver failure (hypoalbuminemia, hypoprothrombinemia)
  • hypercalcemia or risk factors for hypercalcemia

    • serum total calcium >3.0 mmol/L

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
