Vitamin D2 alone or with calcitriol for children with liver disease
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 18 years old.
- Your child must have a liver condition called cholestasis (bile flow blockage) with high direct bilirubin for over a month.
- Your child must have low vitamin D levels (below 20 ng/mL) in their blood.
- Your child must not have high calcium in their urine (tested before the study).
- Your child must not be taking seizure medication (anticonvulsants).

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 study compares different forms of vitamin D3 to find which works best for adults with low vitamin D levels. If you have a vitamin D deficiency and are generally healthy, this trial may help determine the most effective supplement for you.
This study tests giving high-dose vitamin D to preterm infants who need intensive care soon after birth, to see if it helps them. It may improve their health and development.
This trial tests whether giving vitamin D to people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) who have very low vitamin D levels can improve their condition. It aims to see if restoring vitamin D helps with symptoms and overall stability.
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 study compares two doses of vitamin D to find the best way to raise low vitamin D levels in people being treated for aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It aims to see if a higher dose helps normalize vitamin D faster, which may support overall health during treatment.
