E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Evaluation of the effect of Vitamin D supplementation (100.000 IU/ml every 50 days vs placebo) on Disease Free Survival (DFS) for resected stage II melanoma patients. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
to verify whether Vitamin D3 receptors polymorphisms and serum level of 25(OH)D are associated to melanoma prognostic factors; to evaluate vitamin D biology and metabolisms, investigating changes in 25(OH)D by genetic variants and PTH; to evaluate the association between 25(OH)D serum levels and anthropometric measures (such as BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-stature ratio), dietary intakes (vitamin D, calcium and fat intake), occupation and different patterns of sun exposures; to determine the percentages of patients who will reach, during the first year of treatment, the desired serum level of 25(OH)D and mean time to reach that level (30 ng/ml); to evaluate safety and toxicity in this cohort of patients; to evaluate compliance with a dose given every 50 days po; to develop a biorepository of blood samples, collected at several time points. This will create a large biological database for future research (e.g., molecular characteristics of intervention effica |

ALTRI SOTTOSTUDI: Gene-gene and gene-environment interactions on vitamin D and melanoma prognosis Versione n.1 del 03/06/2009
L�endpoint principale riguarda l�interazione tra i polimorfismi della VDR (i recettori della vitamina D) e lo spessore di Breslow, il principale fattore prognostico. Lo studio valutera` anche l�associazione con gli altri fattori prognostici (numero di mitosi, sesso, eta`, ulcerazione e posizione del tumore), l�esposizione solare, i livelli di 25(OH)D, e i geni che codificano per gli enzimi che sintetizzano, trasportano e degradano la vitamina D.
