ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether vitamin D3 can help reduce the number of times people get recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs). Researchers want to find out the best dose of vitamin D3, how well it works, and if it is safe for patients. The trial is currently looking for participants aged 18 to 75 who have had at least three urinary tract infections in the last year or two in the last six months. To join, participants must have had their last infection treated and be free of symptoms.

If you decide to participate, you will receive vitamin D3 and be monitored for its effects on your urinary tract infections. It’s important to know that certain health conditions may prevent you from joining, such as serious heart or kidney problems, diabetes that isn't well controlled, or if you're currently pregnant or breastfeeding. If you meet the eligibility criteria, this study could be a valuable opportunity to help improve treatment options for urinary tract infections.
