Trial summary

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. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study of Cholecalciferol Replacement in Patients on Expectant Management for Localized Prostate Cancer

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.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. 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:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PSA Response

    Difference in the mean change in PSA on vitamin D (9 month period: pre-Vitamin D to 9 months after start of vitamin D) versus on placebo (9 month period: pre-Placebo to 9 months after starting placebo).

    Compared using a paired t-test.

    Measured: 9 month period: pre-Vitamin D/pre-placebo to 9 months after start of vitamin D/ placebo, up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Slope of PSA Concentration Over Time

    The PSA levels were modeled as a function of treatment, time, their interaction, sequence, and a random subject effect using a linear mixed model. From this model, the subject specific PSA slope was obtained for each subject under each condition (vitamin D versus placebo). The PSA slopes were then compared between treatment conditions using linear mixed model to account for treatment arm and repeated measures.

    Measured: 9 month period: pre-Vitamin D/pre-placebo to 9 months after start of vitamin D/ placebo, up to 30 days after completion of study treatment -Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  2. Toxicity as Assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 3.0

    Summarizing the maximum observed treatment related adverse event. Summarize by arm and grade using frequencies and relative frequencies..

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment (up to 22 months from start of study).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cholecalciferol, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Patient Observation in people with Prostate Adenocarcinoma, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Aug 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PSA Response (time frame: 9 month period: pre-Vitamin D/pre-placebo to 9 months after start of vitamin D/ placebo, up to 30 days after completion of study treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Oct 2021.
