Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Patients with DMD are prone to loss of bone mass, osteoporosis and fractures of long bones and vertebrae.
There is some evidence that supplementation with Vitamin D improves the status of bone mineralisation in DMD patients,
improves mobility and prevents fractures. Investigators have given different doses as indicated in the published literature, however, 
the optimum supplementary dose is not known.
This study will be conducted to compare the bone mineral density and some clinical indicators of mobility after supplementation with 2 different
doses of Vitamin D3 for a period of 6 months.
We hypothesise that supplementation with the higher dose of 4000 units per day for 6 months will improve the outcome measures more than
suppkementation with 1000 units per day for a period of 6 months.
