Could vitamin d help fight sepsis in preterm infants?
NCT ID NCT07245277
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving vitamin D alongside antibiotics helps premature babies with sepsis recover better. Researchers gave 78 preterm infants either antibiotics alone or antibiotics plus 400 or 800 IU of vitamin D daily for 7 days. They tracked changes in sepsis scores and C-reactive protein levels to see if vitamin D made a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Vitamin D (cholecalciferol)
What this could lead to
If it works, adding vitamin D to standard antibiotics could help reduce infection severity in preterm babies with sepsis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed Phase 4 trial with only 78 infants. Results may not apply to all preterm babies, and vitamin D may not provide significant benefit over antibiotics alone.
