Cathelicidin and Vitamin D: Impact on Populations At-Risk and With COPD
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Vitamin D3 for Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive. Completed, enrolled 23 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This proposal will evaluate a potential mechanism of increased risk of lung function impairment, cathelicidin levels, as well as determine if vitamin D replacement can alter this pathway. This study will improve the understanding of factors which can lead to chronic lung disease. If effective, this application would also provide the justification to study vitamin D as a therapy to improve lung health.
