Trial Outcomes & Findings for To Study the Nutri-Genomic Response of Vit-D Supplementation in African-Americans (NCT NCT02802449)

NCT ID: NCT02802449

Last Updated: 2019-02-15

Results Overview

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.
