Study Description

Brief Summary:

To assess whether vitamin D supplementation after surgery of a first cutaneous malignant melanoma protects against relapse of the disease.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma	Drug: Vitamin D; Drug: arachides oleum raffinatum	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

To assess whether vitamin D supplementation, in the follow up period after diagnosis and surgery of a first cutaneous malignant melanoma, has a protective effect on relapse of cutaneous malignant melanoma and whether this protective effect correlates with vitamin D levels in serum and vitamin D receptor (VDR) immunoreactivity in the primary tumor.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Vitamin D; Every month 100 000 units of Vitamin D in syringe oral dispenser is taken . Study duration is maximum 3,5 years or until relapse occurs	Drug: Vitamin D; prospective interventional randomized double blind placebo controlled trail; clinical setting (tertiary university hospital); investigator driven, no pharmaceutical sponsor; cutaneous malignant melanoma patients; add- on study (placebo or vitamin D) on top of optimal standard care; 1:1 inclusion ratio (placebo:Vitamin D); randomisation after informed consent and screening; Other Names: D-Cure; Cholecalciferol
Placebo Comparator: arachides oleum raffinatum; Every month 100 000 units of vitamin D in syringe Oral dispenser is taken. Study duration is maximum of 3.5 years or until relapse occurs	Drug: arachides oleum raffinatum; Other Name: Placebo

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Relapse free survival [ Time Frame: study duration maximum 3,5 years ]
   Disease free survival will be the primary endpoint of this phase III trial. Patients are enrolled during a recruitment phase of three years maximum. Study duration for one patient is maximum 3,5 years or until relapse occurs.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Melanoma subtype, as assessed clinically and histologically [ Time Frame: study duration maximum 3,5 years ]
   Vitamin D levels at diagnosis will be correlated with melanoma subtype, as assessed clinically and histologically.
2. Melanoma site, as clinically recorded [ Time Frame: study duration maximum 3,5 years ]
   Vitamin D levels at diagnosis will be correlated with melanoma site, as clinically recorded.
3. 25(OH)D3 serum levels [ Time Frame: study duration maximum 3,5 years ]
   25(OH)D3 serum levels will be recorded at diagnosis and at 6 months intervals up to final study visit. Genetic variability of Vitamin D pathway will be correlated with 25(OH)D3 serum levels
4. Stage of melanoma patient [ Time Frame: study duration maximum 3,5 years ]
   Vitamin D levels at diagnosis and genetic variability of the vitamin D pathway will be correlated with stage of melanoma patient at diagnosis according to the 2009 American Joint Committee of Cancer (AJCC) Melanoma staging and classification

Other Outcome Measures:

1. Safety endpoints:Incidence and severity of adverse events [ Time Frame: study duration maximum 3,5 years ]
   Incidence and severity of adverse events will be recorded every 3 months up to final study visit.

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)
• Sexes Eligible for Study: All
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Older than 18 years and younger than 80 years of age.
2. Histologically proven malignant melanoma, stage one B (IB) to three (III) Not participating in other clinical trial.
3. The only treatment for melanoma is surgical treatment.
4. Complete resection of melanoma.
5. Single primary invasive cutaneous melanoma
6. Signed ethical committee approved informed consent
7. Serum phosphate, serum calcium at the entry of the study within normal limits of laboratory reference

Exclusion criteria

1. Pregnant/lactating women or planning on becoming pregnant during the study
2. Known hypersensitivity to vitamin D or its components.
3. Pre-existing renal stone disease, chronic renal disease with glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 or renal dialysis.
4. Liver failure or chronic liver disease with liver enzymes > 2 fold upper limit of normal (ULN).
5. History of parathyroid disease or granulomatous disease (TBC and sarcoidosis)
6. History of malabsorption syndrome or any medical condition that might interfere with vitamin D absorption.
7. History of small intestine resection.
8. History of other malignancy within the last 5 years except for carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ malignant melanoma.
9. Chronic alcohol abuse.
10. Medical or logistic problems likely to preclude completion of the study.
11. Taking medication that predisposes to hypercalcemia (digoxin, lithium, thiazide diuretics) or taking medication that would affect metabolism of vitamin D (anticonvulsants, corticosteroids, H2-receptor antagonists)
12. Intake of vitamin D supplements within 6 months prior to entry of the study.
