Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: doxercalciferol
Procedure: conventional surgery
Registration Number
NCT00022412
Lead Sponsor
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Doxercalciferol may be an effective way to treat localized prostate cancer before surgery.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of giving doxercalciferol before surgery in treating patients who have localized prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine whether doxercalciferol modulates intermediate endpoint biomarkers in the development of prostate cancer in patients with localized prostate cancer.

* Assess the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to one of 2 arms.

* Arm I: Patients receive doxercalciferol once daily for 28 days. Patients then undergo prostatectomy.

* Arm II: Patients undergo observation for 28 days. Patients then undergo prostatectomy.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients (30 per arm) will be accrued for this study within 18 months.
