The goal of this study is to define 25(OH)D3 catabolism in CF patients using gold standard pharmacokinetics studies. Specifically, the investigators will evaluate the metabolic clearance of 25(OH)D3 among participants with CF and matched control subjects. The goal of this work is to provide the first comprehensive characterization of vitamin D metabolism in CF patients and promote novel hypotheses for subsequent studies.

Metabolic Clearance of D6-25(OH)D3
Metabolic clearance is calculated as the administered dose of 25(OH)D3 divided by the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC). AUC is calculated using the linear trapezoidal method.
Time frame: 8 weeks
AUC of D6-25(OH)D3
AUC is calculated using the linear trapezoidal method.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Terminal Half-life of D6-25(OH)D3
Terminal half-life is equal to ln2/k, where k is the slope of the terminal regression line estimated using ≥3 plasma concentrations.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Volume of Distribution of D6-25(OH)D3
Volume of distribution in the central compartment is calculated as dose/C0, where dose is the administered dose of 25(OH)D3 and C0 is the initial (estimated) concentration of drug in plasma.
Time frame: 8 weeks
