Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Any patient with advanced lung cancer whether or not receiving specific anti-cancer therapy
  2. Mentally competent (but need not be fluent in French or English if capable neutral translator available)
  3. Self report of reduced food intake and/or involuntary weight loss of any extent at time of enrollment: does not have to be documented

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Current diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism
  2. Nephrocalcinosis
  3. Current or suspected active tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, sarcoidosis, or other granulomatous disease
  4. Current using a vitamin D supplement providing > 1000 IU/day
  5. Current prescribed calcitriol in any dose
  6. History of extensive sunlight exposure (> 30 min summer sunlight exposure per day for more than 5 days per week) in previous 3 months
  7. Expected to die within next 2 months

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Vitamin D

Arm Description

vitamin D 20,000 IU per day for 2 weeks followed by 10,000 IU per day for a further 7 days

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration
Plasma 25OHD concentration measured within 24 h prior to commencing vitamin D therapy, and again after 14 and 21 days of continuous vitamin D therapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Mood
Two validated brief mood assessment questionnaires measured On two occasions (one week apart) at baseline prior to staring therapy After 2 weeks of therapy After 3 weeks of therapy
Symptoms
As with mood questionnaire, a symptom questionnaire (Edmonton Symptom Assessment System) will be administered two times (one week apart) prior to starting vitamin therapy and after 14 and 21 days of continuous vitamin D administration

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Hypovitaminosis D is highly prevalent in people with lung cancer, and may have adverse clinical consequences. The long and variable pharmacokinetic half-life of vitamin D makes prompt vitamin D replacement problematic. This is an open, one-armed therapeutic intervention using a loading dose of vitamin D that will be predicted to increase plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations of every patient well into the normal range (> 100 nmol/L) within 2 or 3 weeks and monitored after 2 and 3 weeks of loading and maintenance dose. Preliminary data will also be obtained to identify potentially clinical important outcome benefits for future investigation. The outcomes are plasma 25OHD concentration Vitamin D binding protein and other plasma concentrations Mood and symptom
