This study compares a high-intensity loading dose of vitamin D2 to standard weekly dosing in 52 patients with newly diagnosed aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma who are also receiving standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the high-dose approach normalizes vitamin D levels fas…

This phase III trial tests a vitamin B12 injection (hydroxocobalamin chloride) in 20 children aged 6 months to 18 years with a specific type of methylmalonic acidemia (cobalamin C deficiency). The goal is to see if the injection can normalize levels of certain acids in the blood …
