Vitamin D's hidden links to osteoporosis explored in new study

NCT ID NCT07296471

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at how vitamin D levels are connected to genes, proteins, and other molecules in people newly diagnosed with primary osteoporosis. Researchers will collect blood samples from 120 adults to analyze these molecular profiles. The goal is to better understand the disease and why some patients respond differently to treatment. No new treatments are being tested—participants receive standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal molecular patterns that help doctors better understand osteoporosis and personalize treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with no intervention, so it cannot directly prove cause and effect. Results may not lead to immediate clinical changes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Healthy controls: Adults aged ≥18 years, with normal bone mineral density (BMD) confirmed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), without a history of bone metabolic diseases, major organ dysfunction, or chronic inflammatory/autoimmune diseases. 2. Osteoporotic patients: Adults aged ≥18 years, newly diagnosed with primary osteoporosis according to clinical criteria (T-score ≤ -2.5 SD by DXA), without serious complications that may affect study results. 3. Participants willing and able to provide written informed consent and cooperate with study procedures, including blood and serum sample collection and clinical data recording. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with secondary osteoporosis, including but not limited to osteoporosis caused by hyperparathyroidism, tumors, chronic kidney disease, liver cirrhosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other autoimmune diseases. 2. Individuals who have taken vitamin D supplements, anti-osteoporotic drugs, glucocorticoids, or other medications affecting vitamin D or bone metabolism within 3 months prior to enrollment. 3. Pregnant or lactating women, or individuals with mental disorders preventing cooperation with study procedures. 4. Individuals with acute infections, malignant tumors, or severe liver, kidney, cardiovascular, or cerebrovascular diseases that may affect study outcomes. 5. Participants with a history of blood transfusion within 1 month prior to enrollment or those unable to provide peripheral blood samples as required.
