Vitamin D to improve early artery disease signs
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether taking vitamin D can improve “surrogate markers” that reflect early artery (atherosclerosis) risk in adults with pre-diabetes. It’s mainly for people who have low vitamin D levels and have not recently used vitamin D or certain related medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pre-diabetes based on specific blood sugar test results
- Your vitamin D blood level (25-hydroxy vitamin D) is below 30 ng/dl
- You are between 20 and 60 years old
- You have not taken vitamin D or calcium supplements in the last 6 months
- You have not used medicines in the last month that can affect blood sugar, vitamin D, or calcium (your doctor would review this)

This study tests if taking extra vitamin D can help people with prediabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range and lower the chance of developing type 2 diabetes. Participants will take high-dose or standard vitamin D and be monitored for about 2 years.
This early-phase study looks at whether a treatment can help reverse problems in blood vessels caused by high glucose (sugar) and blood fat signals. It may be a fit if you are generally healthy, have normal insulin and sugar levels, and have a stable weight.
This study looks at whether giving vitamin D can improve heart and metabolic health in overweight or obese teens who have low vitamin D levels. It may help lower risks like high blood sugar or cholesterol.
This trial looks at whether vitamin D levels are linked to cholesterol and other blood fats in adults with type 2 diabetes who are obese. It may help understand if vitamin D plays a role in managing heart health.
This trial studies whether adding vitamin D can help people with chronic heart failure who have low vitamin D levels. You may be eligible if your heart’s pumping strength is reduced and your treatment has been stable, and you meet certain risk factors.
