VDORA1 - Vitamin D Oral Replacement in Asthma

What is the VDORA1 Research Study?

The VDORA1 research study will evaluate how much Vitamin D supplement a child must take to get Vitamin D to a certain level in his or her blood.

Why is the study being done?

The research study may help determine if levels of Vitamin D will help children who have asthma and a weight that is higher than what is considered a healthy weight for their height.

Is there a time commitment?

If your child chooses to join the VDORA1 study, he or she will be asked to visit the doctor’s office 9 times over a period of 8 months. You and your child will be asked to spend a total of 4 to 6 hours per month on study activities. Participants will be compensated for their time and travel
