Brief Summary

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

This randomized clinical trial studies how well cholecalciferol supplement works in treating patients with localized prostate cancer undergoing observation. Cholecalciferol may help prostate cancer cells become more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly.

Detailed Description

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response with oral high dose vitamin D3 supplementation (cholecalciferol) in patients with localized, histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate who have not received any treatment for prostate cancer ever and have chosen expectant management.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To examine the pattern of response of PSA dynamics as well as the absolute change in PSA following vitamin D3 supplementation.

II. Assess the toxicity of vitamin D3 supplementation in men with prostate cancer.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Track occurrence of infections, deep venous thrombosis, vascular events and falls in the study population.

II. To evaluate relationship between cytochrome P450 family 24 (CYP24), 27B1, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) and serum 25(hydroxy \[OH\]) vitamin D response to oral D3 supplementation.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive cholecalciferol orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After a wash-out period of 3 months, patients cross-over to Arm II.

ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO QD for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After a wash-out period of 3 months, patients cross-over to Arm I.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Any patient with clinically localized, histologically proven adenocarcinoma of prostate who has not received any treatment for prostate cancer ever and has chosen active surveillance; treatment for prostate cancer is defined as prostatectomy, androgen deprivation, brachytherapy or a full course of external beam irradiation
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
* Willingness to comply with study guidelines
* Willingness and ability to consent
* 25(OH) D3 level less than 40 ng/ml within 3 months of initiation of study; most recent 25 hydroxy D level within last 3 month would be used

Exclusion Criteria

* History of malabsorption syndrome e.g., pancreatic insufficiency, celiac disease, tropical sprue
* Creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dL
