Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Vitamin D, Leptin, Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphism, and Treatment-Related Morbidity in Ovarian Cancer

Study Description

Brief Summary: This study will evaluate serum vitamin D (25(OH)D) and serum leptin levels at the time of diagnosis of ovarian, primary peritoneal, and/or fallopian tube cancer as well as vitamin D receptor mutation status (FokI SNP genotype). The study will evaluate the impact of vitamin D repletion on serum vitamin D levels, serum leptin levels, and treatment-related morbidity in these patients.

Detailed Description: This study will contain 2 cohorts: those with normal serum 25(OH)D and those with low serum 25(OH)D at enrollment. The study will take place in women with ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancer. Patients who have given written consent to enroll in the study will have a serum 25(OH)D levels, serum leptin levels, and vitamin D receptor FokI single nucleotide polymorphism analyzed at the time of diagnosis. Patients with vitamin D deficiency will be prescribed vitamin D supplementation according to current guidelines. Treatment with cholecalciferol will not impact cancer therapy. Participants treatment course information will be collected prospectively, but will not be dictated by this study. Serum 25(OH)D and leptin levels will be collected again at the completion of primary therapy, 6 months after the completion of primary therapy, and at the time of disease recurrence. If patients remain vitamin D deficient at any of these follow-up time points, they will be referred to an endocrinologist for further work-up and treatment of their vitamin D deficiency. Data collection will continue for up to 1 year after enrollment.
