Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

the aim of this randomised clinical trial study is to evaluate whether supplementation with vitamin D could inhibit the growth of uterine fibroids in reproductive stage women.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

180 patients with vitamin D deficiency (12 ng/ml ≤ serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 \< 20 ng/ml) and uterine fibroids will be randomly assigned in a ratio of 1:1 to two groups: intervention group A and control group B. 180 patients with vitamin D insufficiency (20 ng/ml ≤ serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 \< 30 ng/ml) and uterine fibroids will be also randomly assigned in a ratio of 1:1 to two groups: intervention group C and control group D. The intervention group A will receive 1600 IU/d of vitamin D3; The intervention group C will receive 800 IU/d of vitamin D3; the control group B and the control group D will receive regular follow-up. Patients will be followed up at the same time points for 24 months. The outcome measure is the growth of uterine fibroids in different groups.
