Trial Outcomes & Findings for Preventing Health Disparities During Pregnancy Through Vitamin D Supplementation (NCT NCT01932788)

NCT ID: NCT01932788

Last Updated: 2018-11-21

Results Overview

Because the primary endpoint of the study is change in 25(OH)D from baseline to delivery, the primary analysis will be restricted to participants who had greater than 100 nmol/L of 25(OH)D. Recording will be counts of participants in each arm that achieved greater than the 100 nmol/L threshold.

Measure
Vitamin D 4000 IU
Subjects randomized into this arm will receive supplementation with 4000 IU/day vitamin D3 in gummy vitamin form, plus the standard prenatal vitamin (containing 400 IU vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 4000 IU in gummy form: Subjects randomized to the Vitamin D3 4000 IU gummy vitamin arm, the investigational drug, will consume 4 gummies/day beginning at 10-14 weeks of your pregnancy. All subjects will consume a prenatal vitamin (either chewable or pill form) also beginning at 10-14 weeks of your pregnancy.
Placebo Gummy Vitamin
Supplementation with placebo gummy vitamin form, plus the standard prenatal vitamin (containing 400 IU vitamin D3) Placebo gummy vitamin: Subjects randomized to receive placebo, also in gummy form but manufactured without Vitamin D3, will consume 4 gummies/day beginning at 10-14 weeks of pregnancy. All subjects will take a prenatal vitamin (either chewable or pill form) also beginning at 10-14 weeks of pregnancy.
