High-dose vitamin D for ICU patients with low vitamin D
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a high dose of vitamin D3 can reduce death within 28 days for critically ill adults in the ICU who have very low vitamin D levels. It may help by correcting vitamin D deficiency, which the study team thinks could affect outcomes in serious illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for at least 48 hours
- You must be admitted to the ICU no more than 72 hours before screening
- Your vitamin D level must be very low (12 ng/ml or lower, or not detectable)
- You must be able to take the study medication (no severe gut problems or large residuals)

This study looks at vitamin D levels in children who are very sick with lung infections in the ICU. It aims to see if low vitamin D might be linked to how severe the infection is.
This trial is testing whether giving preterm babies (born at 24 to 32 weeks) a high, carefully monitored dose of vitamin D right after birth helps improve their health compared to standard care.
