Brief Summary

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

Vitamin D repletion is important for bone health in patients with Crohn's disease. While repletion strategies in the general population yield similar results in those with Crohn's disease, maintenance strategies are variable. High quality evidence is lacking to determine the optimal strategy to maintain adequate levels of Vitamin D levels in patients with Crohn's disease.

Detailed Description

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

The investigators seek to identify patients with Crohn's disease in clinical remission who have vitamin D levels \<30 ng/ml. Subjects will undergo a 8 week lead in period and receive Vitamin D supplementation with 50,000 IU D2 weekly for 8 weeks.Participants with sufficient Vitamin D levels after 8 weeks (\>30 ng/mL) will be enrolled into the study and randomized to one of three arms: (1) placebo (2) 1000 IU/day Vitamin D3 (3) 5,000 IU/day Vitamin D3 for 22 weeks. Based on clinical experience, doses higher than the recommended doses for bone health in the general population (600-800 IU/day Vitamin D3) are needed to achieve and maintain optimal levels of Vitamin D in people with Crohn's disease.

The investigators aim to determine optimal maintenance dosing to sustain vitamin D sufficiency in people with Crohn's disease. The investigators also seek to determine demographic and disease related characteristics associated with inability to maintain sufficient levels.
