ISRCTN ISRCTN72827849
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title A pilot randomised controlled trial to determine if vitamin D treatment will result in greater bone mass acquisition in pubertal girls
Scientific title
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source N0453182967
Study hypothesis Does vitamin D status in young girls influence the accelerated bone growth that normally occurs around puberty and will supplementation with vitamin D to pubertal girls who have vitamin D deficiency lead to increased bone accrual in comparison to their placebo treated controls?

Interventions The DXA and pQCT scans will be analysed by Dr Ward and Professor Adams who will be ‘blinded’ as to the subject's study grouping. The primary muscle strength (JM force and power) and bone (TBBMC&D & radial BMC&D) outcome measures will be analysed after controlling for baseline measures, anthropometric variables, baseline 25(OH)D concentration, calcium intake and physical activity using appropriate analysis of covariance models. Descriptive and exploratory statistics will be used for the secondary outcomes, but these will be treated as exploratory. The correlation between Vitamin D status and serum ferritin concentrations will be determined using ANCOVA to adjust for treatment and other relevant variables.
Primary outcome measure(s) The primary outcome measures for the study are the difference in bone mineral content and density over a 12 month period.
Secondary outcome measure(s) Not provided at time of registration
