Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vitamin D and Prostate Cancer: A Clinical Study Enrolling Subjects Undergoing Prostatectomy (NCT NCT02726113)

NCT ID: NCT02726113

Last Updated: 2019-12-03

Results Overview

Baseline vitamin D3 levels will be obtained at enrollment and approximately two months later during the surgical procedure (prostatectomy). These D3 levels will be evaluated for the 27 participants who had genomic analysis and compared by race (Caucasian and AA).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: approximately two months from baseline to date of prostatectomy (exit)

Population: 27 participants, who had genomic analysis (RNA sequencing), were evlauated for their serum level of D3 at baseline and exit. Intervention: 9 Caucasian/5 AA and Control: 8 Caucasian/5 AA

Baseline vitamin D3 levels will be obtained at enrollment and approximately two months later during the surgical procedure (prostatectomy). These D3 levels will be evaluated for the 27 participants who had genomic analysis and compared by race (Caucasian and AA).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 8 months post prostatectomy

Population: All study participants completed genomic analysis

The intent of this outcome measure was to identify the number of gene transcripts found to be differentially expressed (where a difference or change has occurred) in both AA and EA subjects upon vitamin D supplementation. The transcripts differentially expressed were compared to the transcripts in the "Placebo" Arm/Group.
