Study Summary

The study population will be 80 adult men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer who are scheduled to have their prostate surgically removed at either the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) or the Ralph H. Johnson VAMC, both located in Charleston, SC. The men will be randomized into two groups: one group will take vitamin D3 supplementation and the other will take a placebo. Blood levels of vitamin D3 will be obtained at the beginning of the study and again after two months, just prior to the surgical procedure (prostatectomy). Prostate tissue will be obtained from the surgical procedure and studied for the effect of vitamin D on the prostate cancer cells.

Primary Outcome

Baseline vitamin D3 levels will be obtained at enrollment and approximately two months later during the surgical procedure (prostatectomy). These D3 levels will be evaluated for the 27 participants who had genomic analysis and compared by race (Caucasian and AA).
