Calcium and Vitamin D Deficiencies Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized, Open-Label, 2-Way Cross-Over, Phase 4 Study to Evaluate Subject Preference and Acceptability of a New Formulation of Calcichew D3 in Adult Patients Eligible for Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation
The purpose of this study is to compare the preference of Calcichew D3 500/400 (containing 500 mg calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D) with Adcal-D3 600/400 (containing 600 mg of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D) in Test Group 1, and to compare Calcichew D3 500/800 (containing 500 mg calcium and 800 IU vitamin D) with Kalcipos-D 500/800 (containing 500 mg of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D) in Test Group 2.

| Primary | Percentage of Participants with a Preference for Each Treatment within Each Test Group | Preference will be assessed by a 3 box Questionnaire. Participants will check off one of the boxes: I prefer the first product that was tested, I prefer the second product that was tested or I have no preference. | Day 28 | No |
| Secondary | Product Acceptability after each 14 Day Dosing Period within Each Test Group | Product acceptability will be assessed by a 6 item questionnaire evaluating the characteristics of the product: gritty, chalky, sweet, ease of chew, ease of swallow and sticky). Using a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) the participant will put a vertical line through each horizontal line that best describes their level of agreement with each item. | Day 14 and Day 28 | No |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants who Experience at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event with Each Test Group | An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug | Day 28 | Yes |
