Trial summary

Vitamin D exerts antiproliferative and differentiating effects in cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The active form of Vitamin D is 1,25, dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol) which rapidly induces expression of cytochrome P450 24R-hydroxylase (CYP24A1). Read more about this study

About this study

Vitamin D exerts antiproliferative and differentiating effects in cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The active form of Vitamin D is 1,25, dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol) which rapidly induces expression of cytochrome P450 24R-hydroxylase (CYP24A1). CYP24A1 initiates inactivation of calcitriol as a result of successive hydroxylation/oxidation reactions. This study seeks to prospectively determine the relationship between Vitamin D gene expression and median survival as a primary outcome, and between the Vitamin D receptor (VDR)/CYP24A1 gene expression and cancer stage, smoking status, serum 1,25 (OH)2D3 levels as well as CYP24A1 genotype.

Read the detailed description

This study seeks to prospectively determine the relationship between Vitamin D gene expression and median survival as a primary outcome, and the relationships between the Vitamin D receptor (VDR)/CYP24A1 gene expression and cancer stage, smoking status, serum 1,25 (OH)2D3 levels as well as CYP24A1 genotype.

Patients who are suspected to have lung cancer will be recruited to this study prior to their diagnostic biopsy. Those who have consented to the study will give permission for blood and tissue from this biopsy to be analyzed for the study endpoints. Statistical analysis on this data will seek to correlate CYP24A1 expression and medican survival of the participants. Patients' data will be collected for smoking status and cancer stage.

Study enrollment to adequately power the study statistically is 80 patients. Anticipated study duration is from 12 months to 18 months for sample collection and two years for follow-up for patient survival.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 31 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: PI decided to terminate the study). 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?

Time to lung cancer related death (time frame: 18 months). 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 31 Mar 2014.
