Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, vitamin D blood levels has on stage IV colorectal cancer. Tbe doctors want to see if it is possible to increase low vitamin D levels into normal range using vitamin D supplements taken by mouth. Low vitamin D levels have been associated with worse outcomes in persons who have cancer. Low vitamin D may also cause people to have symptoms such as pain and fatigue. We want to see if increasing low vitamin D levels will help improve cancer outcomes. Vitamin D is routinely repleted in all subjects known to be vitamin D deficient. Therefore, the treatment given would be considered standard of care.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Colorectal Cancer Drug: vitamin D repletion with Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3 50,000 International Units) Phase 2

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: vitamin D, vitamin D3
This is a Phase II study involving Stage IV colorectal cancer patients with serum vitamin D deficiency, to determine the ability to correct vitamin D deficiency and to maintain serum vitamin D levels (25-hydroxy vitamin D) once achieved.
 Drug: vitamin D repletion with Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3 50,000 International Units)
Patients will be given vitamin D repletion with Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3 50,000 International Units) three times per week until the target vitamin D level of 40 ng/ml is achieved, and vitamin D3 maintenance initiated at 2,000 International Units daily thereafter.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To Achieve Target Vitamin D Level [ Time Frame: Within 6 weeks of beginning vitamin D ]
    To determine the ability of achieving the target serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D level of 40 ng/ml within 6 weeks of beginning vitamin D supplements in patients with metastatic colon cancer. A response is defined as achieving serum vitamin D levels ≥40 ng/ml at least once at any point during the first 6 weeks
