About this study

Official title: Vitamin D3 (Vit D3) Supplementation and T Cell Immunomodulation in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Operative Invasive Ductal Breast Carcinoma Stage I-II

This study is for adult females who have been newly diagnosed with breast cancer that includes surgery as part of standard cancer treatment. This is a research study combining Vitamin D (an over the counter medication) with the standard of care (or the established and approved treatment), surgery. Evidence shows that women who are Vitamin D3 deficient have a higher risk of breast cancer and breast cancer recurrence. The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of Vitamin D3 during the treatment period for Stage I-II breast cancer. Screening tests will be done to determine if subjects are eligible to participate in this study. If subjects are eligible and they agree to participate, they will be assigned to one of two groups which will receive different amounts of vitamin D. Subjects will be asked to keep a medication diary. Subjects may remain on treatment for approximately 56 days.

Vitamin D

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Vitamin DDietary supplement

    Subjects will be assigned to a dosage level between 600IU daily and 10,000IU daily depending on their age, weight and current vitamin D level

Study groups in NCT01816555
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Vitamin D- Normal Level at ScreeningExperimentalSubjects will have surgery as their initial breast therapy. If subjects have a normal level of Vitamin D(25-hydroxyVit D 30-100ng/mL), they will be assigned to this group.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D
Vitamin D- Insufficient or Deficient Level at ScreeningExperimentalSubjects will have surgery as their initial breast therapy. If subjects are insufficient (25-hydroxy Vit D 21-29 ng/mL)or deficient (25-hydroxyVit D <20ng/mL) Vitamin D levels, they will be assigned to this group.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare the differences in the T cell phenotype and function using PBMCs from patients in different cohorts

    T cell analysis for the following markers will be evaluated-

    1. memory markers
    2. activation status and presence of regulatory T cells
    3. lymphoid organ-homing receptors
    4. Functional status of gated T cells will be analyzed
    5. cell surface thiol molecules and intracellular glutathione using flow cytometry to evaluate if anti-oxidant stus of the T cells is modulated in presence of the Vitamin D.

    These markers will help in determining the immunomodulatory potential of Vitamin D on T cell with respect to function, activation status and anti-oxidant capacity that can effect persistence and in turn immune outcome. The data obtained will be reported in terms of percent increase or decrease in number of T cells expressing particular receptors (homing or chemokine) or for differences in functional outcome (cytokine response) upon activation relative to samples collected at baseline.

    Measured: Prior to Treatment (Baseline), Week 4 and Week 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vitamin D in people with Newly Diagnosed Operative Invasive Ductal Breast Carcinoma Stage I-II, run by Medical University of South Carolina 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 12 inclusion and 21 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2015. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Study closed due to low accrual.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Compare the differences in the T cell phenotype and function using PBMCs from patients in different cohorts (time frame: Prior to Treatment (Baseline), Week 4 and Week 8). 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 22 Jul 2015.
