  Purpose

RATIONALE: Cholecalciferol may help prostate cancer cells become more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well cholecalciferol supplement works in treating patients with localized prostate cancer undergoing observation.

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in PSA velocity, doubling time, and slope [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Pattern of response of PSA dynamics and absolute change in PSA [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Toxicity as assessed by NCI CTCAE v3.0 [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Arm I: Experimental
Patients receive oral cholecalciferol once daily for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After a wash-out period of 3 months, patients then receive oral placebo once daily for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Dietary Supplement: cholecalciferol
Given orally
Other: placebo
Given orally
Arm II: Experimental
Patients receive oral placebo once daily for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After a wash-out period of 3 months, patients then receive oral cholecalciferol once daily for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Dietary Supplement: cholecalciferol

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the change in PSA velocity, doubling time, and slope after treatment with oral high-dose cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supplementation in patients with localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate undergoing active surveillance.

Secondary

  • To examine the pattern of response of PSA dynamics as well as the absolute change in PSA after treatment with this regimen.
  • To assess the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to Gleason score (≤ 6 vs > 6) and season of study entry (winter/spring vs summer/fall). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral cholecalciferol once daily for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After a wash-out period of 3 months, patients then receive oral placebo once daily for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo once daily for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After a wash-out period of 3 months, patients then receive oral cholecalciferol once daily for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
