High Dose Vitamin D for IBD Patients on Biologic Therapy
This observational study is looking at how giving high doses of vitamin D3 affects young people (ages 5-25) with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. You could be eligible if you are already receiving biologic treatments like Infliximab or Vedolizumab every 4-8 weeks and have low vitamin D levels (less than 40 ng/mL). The researchers will give you oral high-dose vitamin D3 at the same time as your biologic treatment. The main goal is to see if participants reach a target vitamin D level by the end of the study, which could be up to 64 weeks. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 50 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 50 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You will receive oral high-dose vitamin D3 concurrently with your regular biologic treatment every 4-8 weeks. Additional bloodwork and questionnaires will be collected during your infusion visits.
- Compensation
