Primary endpoint is the median time to next exacerbation. Secondary endpoints are total number of exacerbations per group, number of exacerbations per patient per year, percentage of patients with one or more exacerbations per year, days of antibiotics and oral steroids, quality of life, FEV1, muscle force and survival.\n\nOther objectives: First, to investigate the role of local and systemic levels of 25-OHD and 1,25-(OH)2D on the intensity and prevalence of bacterial colonisation, inflammatory markers, proteases and markers of oxidative stress in induced sputa and exhaled air. Second, to explore whether correction of Vitamin D deficiency by the oral supplementation of Vitamin D triggers the VDR-mediated cathelicidin pathway and increases local or systemic concentrations of the natural antimicrobial polypeptide cathelicidin with enhanced eradication of bacteria.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Primary diagnosis of COPD exacerbation\n* Smoking history of at least ten pack years\n* GOLD stage II, III and IV as assessed by a post-bronchodilator spirometry\n* Informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Tiffeneau index \\>70% or FEV1 \\>80%\n* Hypercalcemia\n* Sarcoidosis\n* Newly discovered symptomatic osteoporosis (proven by DEXA and RX )\n* Active cancer'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00666367', 'briefTitle': 'Vitamin D as Treatment for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'KU Leuven'}, 'officialTitle': 'High Dosis of Vitamin D as Treatment for COPD.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '2007-004755-11'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'S50722'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': '1', 'description': 'Vitamin D (D-cure) will be administered by monthly oral intake.
