About

High-doses of Vitamin D (VD) may be used as targeted therapy against breast cancer. The investigators will assess the effect of high dose VD on the following biomarkers in the breast cancer cells: VDR, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2/neu), androgen receptor (AR), as well as epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (EGFR) and Ki-67, as markers of proliferation, and E-cadherin, a marker of invasion and metastasis.

Full description

This is a phase I/II open-label, non-randomized study. In phase I, a fixed weekly course of oral high-dose Vitamin D (VD) is planned for either 3, 4 or 5 weeks; patients will be sequentially enrolled into 3 groups (A, B or C respectively) in a manner such that no more than two patients may have treatment-limiting toxicities (TLTs).

After the group with the optimal duration of VD therapy to achieve a "favorable response" is determined, phase II will begin enrollment.

Patients must be scheduled to have surgery performed within 2- weeks of the last dose of VD.

Inclusion criteria

  5. Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents or have participated in any investigational drug study within 4 weeks preceding the start of study treatment.
  6. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements.
