Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Serum vitamin D status

    The serum vitamin D status (pg/mL) will be determined at multiple time points secondary to receiving a single dose of either calciferol or calcifediol. We will obtain 11 time points after each drug administration which will allow us to observe the fluctuation in vitamin D status after receiving the study drug.

    2 weeks after administration

  • Change in 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Status

    The serum 25(OH)D status (ng/mL) will be determined at multiple time points secondary to receiving a single dose of either calciferol or calcifediol. We will obtain 11 time points after each drug administration which will allow us to observe the fluctuation in 25(OH)D status after receiving the study drug.

    2 weeks after administration

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Serum Calcium Levels

    Baseline and completion of each intervention period (2 weeks)

  • Serum Phosphorus Levels

    Baseline and completion of each intervention period (2 weeks)

  • Serum Albumin Levels

    Baseline and completion of each intervention period (2 weeks)

  • Serum Creatinine levels

    Baseline and completion of each intervention period (2 weeks)

  • Serum intact parathyroid hormone levels

    Baseline and completion of each intervention period (2 weeks)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adult male or female with history of intestinal fat-malabsorption with confirmed diagnosis
  • Taking vitamin D (ergocalciferol or cholecalciferol). Subjects taking vitamin D supplement of more than 2000 IUs (50 micrograms)/day) that may interfere with study endpoints must be willing and able to discontinue use of these supplements for the duration of the study and allow for at least a 14-day washout prior to prescreening and enrollment.
  • Women of child bearing potential must be on birth control and not pregnant based on a negative pregnancy test at baseline for each of the 2 pharmacokinetic studies.
  • Serum total 25(OH)D \< 30 ng/mL

You may not qualify if:

  • Unwilling to discontinue use of supplemental dose of vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) or vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) daily equivalent (2,000 IU/50 μg) 1 week or less prior to randomization and during the study
  • On medications that can affect vitamin D metabolism including steroids such as prednisone, anti-seizure medications and medications to treat HIV.
  • Tanning in a tanning bed at least one week before the study and throughout the duration of this study.
  • Anyone anticipating going on holiday (where exposure to sun is imminent) 1 week before or during the entire study.
  • Participation in the study or any reason which, in the opinion of the investigator makes adherence to a treatment or follow-up schedule unlikely
  • History of elevated serum calcium
  • Chronic hepatic or renal failure
  • Subjects with a history of an adverse reaction to orally administered vitamin D.
  • Inability to give informed consent
