Evaluating vitamin D's role in sarcoidosis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates how vitamin D levels affect the severity of sarcoidosis and the impact of vitamin D supplementation in patients who are deficient. Participants with sarcoidosis and low vitamin D will be divided into two groups: one receiving standard vitamin D supplementation and the other receiving a placebo. Additionally, patients with sufficient vitamin D levels will serve as control subjects. The study aims to clarify the relationship between vitamin D status and sarcoidosis inflammation.
