Vitamin D in Treating Patients With Prostate Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: cholecalciferol
Registration Number
NCT00524680
Lead Sponsor
Roswell Park Cancer Institute
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Vitamin D may be effective in treating patients with prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well 4 different doses of vitamin D works in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* To examine the pattern of response of serum 25(OH) D3 levels following cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supplementation at four different oral doses in patients with prostate cancer.

Secondary

* To examine the pattern of response of parathormone (PTH) following vitamin D3 supplementation in these patients.

* To assess the toxicity of vitamin D3 supplementation in men with prostate cancer.

Tertiary

* To track occurrence of infections, deep vein thrombosis, vascular events, and falls in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms.

* Arm I: Patients receive 4,000 IU of oral cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) once daily.

* Arm II: Patients receive 6,000 IU of vitamin D3 once daily.

* Arm III: Patients receive 8,000 IU of vitamin D3 once daily.

* Arm IV: Patients receive 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 once daily. Treatment in all arms continues for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
