About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) focused on measuring Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Vitamin D, Cholecalciferol, Skeletal muscle

Eligibility Criteria

40 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • COPD
  • Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) < or = 50% of predicted
  • Smoking history of at least 10 pack-years
  • Able to ambulate independently or with the use of an ambulatory assist device (such as a cane or walker)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Currently taking > 500 I.U. per day of vitamin D supplements
  • Primary diagnosis of asthma
  • Uncompensated heart failure
  • Heart attack in the previous 6 months
  • Kidney disease (glomerular filtration rate < 45 mL/min/1.73m2)

Sites / Locations

  • Minneapolis VA Medical Center

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

Vitamin D

Placebo

Arm Description

Cholecalciferol (2000 I.U. daily)

Placebo capsule (sugar pill daily)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Score
SPPB measures lower extremity strength using 3 simple office-based tests to assess standing balance, gait speed, and chair stands. The composite SPPB score ranges from 0 (worst performance) to 12 (best performance). The minimal clinically important difference is not fully agreed upon, although a difference of 1.0 point has been used in many studies.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Blood Level of Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D)
