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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born between 24 weeks and 32 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy.
- If your baby was born at another hospital, they must come to our NICU within 48 hours of birth.
- Your baby cannot have any major birth defects or genetic problems that might threaten survival.
- Your baby cannot have a liver condition called cholestasis.
- You must be able to sign a consent form for both you and your child.
- The study is only for babies born at our clinic or those transferred here quickly after birth.

This trial tests whether taking vitamin D by mouth can lower the risk of peritonitis (a painful infection of the lining around the abdomen) in people on peritoneal dialysis. You might benefit if your vitamin D level is low and you meet other safety requirements.
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.
This trial tests whether starting vitamin D3 soon after ICU admission helps critically ill adults with low vitamin D levels. It may help correct low vitamin D and possibly improve recovery, depending on your health situation.
This trial compares two types of vitamin D—one is plain vitamin D2, the other is vitamin D2 plus a more active form (calcitriol)—to see which works better for children with liver problems and low vitamin D levels.
This trial studies whether giving a higher dose of vitamin D3 helps children and teens with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis) who have low vitamin D levels. Participants are already on biologic medicines and will be treated while monitoring blood (and safety) related to vitamin D.
This trial tests whether giving preterm babies (born at 28-34 weeks) a higher dose of vitamin D by mouth helps them grow and stay healthy. It may be an option if your baby is already feeding well and doesn't have certain other health problems.
