NCT ID NCT05045066
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking at how common low vitamin D levels are among Black men with prostate cancer, and whether vitamin D supplements can improve their immune function. Researchers will measure vitamin D and immune markers in blood samples before and after supplementation. The goal is to understand if correcting vitamin D insufficiency helps the immune system work better.
