Effects of Vitamin D on Cardiovascular Health in Black Women

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand the effects of oral vitamin D3 supplementation on various cardiovascular risk factors in generally healthy, young adult black women who are vitamin D deficient or insufficient at baseline. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does 8 weeks of vitamin D3 supplementation (5,000 IU per day) improve 24 hour blood pressure metrics in generally healthy, young adult black women who are vitamin D deficient or insufficient at baseline? - Does 8 weeks of vitamin D3 supplementation (5,000 IU per day) improve objectively estimated sleep duration and regularity in generally healthy, young adult black women who are vitamin D deficient or insufficient at baseline? - Does 8 weeks of vitamin D3 supplementation (5,000 IU per day) improve various measures of blood vessel structure and function in generally healthy, young adult black women who are vitamin D deficient or insufficient at baseline? All participants will undergo baseline testing, which includes 2 continuous weeks of objective sleep monitoring using a sleep watch, one 24-hour period of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and one blood vessel function testing visit. Following baseline testing, vitamin D insufficient and deficient participants will be prescribed take 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily for 8 continuous weeks. Participants will undergo 2-weeks of sleep monitoring again during weeks 3-4 of the supplementation period and during weeks 7-8 of the supplementation period. Additionally, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring will be performed during week 4 and week 8, and blood vessel function testing will take place at the end of week 4 and again at the end of week 8. Researchers will assess the effect of the vitamin D3 supplementation intervention by comparing all values between baseline, week 4, and week 8 to see if there is any effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on 24-hour blood pressure, sleep duration and regularity, and blood vessel structure and function following 4 and 8 weeks of supplementation.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
