Many adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have been found to have low bone density by the end of treatment. This can lead to long-term suffering in survivors due to poor bone health. Vitamin D is known to be associated with bone health and previous research has established that Vitamin D insufficiency is very common at diagnosis of ALL and worsens over the course of treatment. Researchers have also learned that a relationship exists between both Vitamin D and fat tissue and ALL and fat tissue.

In adolescents being treated for ALL as well as in early survivors, this randomized study will therefore examine the effect of Vitamin D and calcium supplementation on correcting Vitamin D insufficiency and on improving bone density in the context of changes in body composition and body fat. Bone density will be measured by a radiology exam called qCT (quantitative computed tomography) while body composition and body fat will be measured by a different radiology exam called a DXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan) . The study will also examine in depth the relationship between these three elements - Vitamin D insufficiency, obesity, and ALL - and their impact on bone density.

Note that subjects in the On-Therapy "natural history" arm (i.e. Group A, not randomized) were not formally followed for adverse event reporting.

Subjects in Sibling group (Arm C) had a single visit for a laboratory draw with no adverse event reporting indicated.

Subjects randomized following Induction to receive education plus:

Vitamin D and Calcium Citrate: Vitamin D (10,000 int.units/ml) 100,000 int. units (10ml) by mouth once every two months x 3 times (total treatment period approximately 6 months) Calcium Carbonate (1,000 mg/tab = 400 mg elemental calcium/tab) 2,000 mg (2 chewable tabs) by mouth every day through study period (total treatment period approximately 6 months)

On Therapy Intervention (Group A)

Subjects randomized following Induction to receive standard of care with education alone

On Therapy Standard of Care (Group A)

Survivors randomized to receive directly-observed therapy with open-label Vitamin and chewable calcium

Survivorship Intervention (Group B)

Survivors randomized to receive standard of care with education alone OR ineligible for open-label Vitamin D+Calcium randomization

Survivorship Standard of Care (Group B)

Singling of Group A were enrolled for a one-time visit for labs; All-Cause Mortality, Serious, and Other \[Not Including Serious\] Adverse Events were not monitored/assessed.

Siblings of Group A (Group C)

Subjects randomized following Induction to receive education plus:

Vitamin D and Calcium Citrate: Vitamin D (10,000 int.units/ml) 100,000 int. units (10ml) by mouth once every two months x 3 times (total treatment period approximately 6-7 months) Calcium Carbonate (1,000 mg/tab = 400 mg elemental calcium/tab) 2,000 mg (2 chewable tabs) by mouth every day through study period (total treatment period approximately 6-7 months)P

Subjects surviving to end of Induction but ineligible for randomization for any reason

On Therapy "Natural History" (Group A)

Survivors to receive education plus:

Vitamin D and Calcium Citrate: Vitamin D (10,000 int.units/ml) 100,000 int. units (10ml) by mouth once every two months x 3 times (total treatment period approximately 6 months) Calcium Carbonate (1,000 mg/tab = 400 mg elemental calcium/tab) 2,000 mg (2 chewable tabs) by mouth every day through study period (total treatment period approximately 6 months)

Survivors either randomized to received standard of care with education alone OR vitamin D sufficient and continued for follow-up only.

On-Therapy Intervention (Group A)

Subjects randomized following Induction to receive standard of care with education alone OR subjects ineligible for open-label randomization and followed as "natural history" cohort.

Patients enrolled prior to open-label randomization and those not eligible for randomization at end of induction

On-Therapy "Natural History" (Group A)

Includes subjects in each group evaluable for vitamin D endpoint. Calculation of change = Vitamin D level at study end (end of DI, \~+6 months)/Vitamin D level at baseline (start of consolidation).

Cortical BMD

Cancellous BMD

On-Therapy "Natural History" (Group A, Tibia)

Subjects enrolled following the change to the open-label randomization were imaged for cortical bone density at the femur, subjects enrolled prior to this in the Natural History group were imaged at the tibia. The change was made for later subjects due to technical reasons to provide a better estimate of cortical density.

Bone Mineral Density by Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT) at Study End (Group A)

Subjects randomized to receive education plus directly-observed therapy with open-label Vitamin D and chewable calcium

Survivors randomized to receive standard of care with education alone OR subjects ineligible for open-label Vitamin D+ Calcium randomization and continued with follow-up only.

Change in Vitamin D = Vitamin D at +6months/Vitamin D at baseline

Newly Diagnosed Patients (Group A)

Group C: Only four siblings enrolled and arm closed early due to poor accrual. Specimens from this group were not analyzed so no results are available.

Group A: 39 subjects enrolled at diagnosis had Vitamin D testing performed at diagnosis and had results available.
