Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine whether oral vitamin D supplementation abrogates the pathogenic mechanisms in PLE and prevents the manifestation of the disease.;Secondary Objective: not applicable;Primary end point(s): PLE test score of experimental photoprovocation;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: up to 3 years after start of study | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
