Objectives

  1. Determine whether doxercalciferol modulates intermediate endpoint biomarkers in the development of prostate cancer in patients with localized prostate cancer.
  2. Assess the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Intermediate endpoint biomarker modulation
Toxicity

Outline

This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive doxercalciferol once daily for 28 days. Patients then undergo prostatectomy.


  • Arm II: Patients undergo observation for 28 days. Patients then undergo prostatectomy.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
