Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Vitamin D supplementation reduces the symptoms of muscle stiffness and joint tenderness that some patients may develop after starting therapy with Anastrozole for breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a pilot, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study with the following aims:

* To compare the effects of high dose vitamin D versus standard dose vitamin D on musculoskeletal pain in breast cancer patients receiving anastrozole when vitamin D levels are in the insufficient but not deficient range (10 to 29 ng/ml).
* To evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency in post-menopausal women with a history of breast cancer who are treated with anastrozole and have musculoskeletal symptoms versus those who are asymptomatic.
* To establish correlations between levels of vitamin D, the levels of PTH, the degree of bone loss and the severity of musculoskeletal symptoms.
* To evaluate the effect of standard dose versus high dose Vitamin D replacement on bone density in post-menopausal women with a history of breast cancer who are treated with anastrozole and have musculoskeletal symptoms.
