Summary

This trial is studying how well cholecalciferol works in treating patients with newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia with low levels of vitamin D.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for newly diagnosed or untreated patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia who also have vitamin D deficiency. They can join even if they're on 'wait and watch' therapy, had up to two chemo cycles, or localized radiation. However, those with a history of severe allergic reactions to vitamin D, Paget's disease, high calcium levels in the blood, or conditions that could affect protocol adherence cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well Cholecalciferol (a form of Vitamin D) works alongside standard chemotherapy in improving survival rates for patients with certain types of leukemia and lymphoma who are deficient in Vitamin D. It's an early phase I trial where some participants will receive Cholecalciferol while their responses are monitored through lab analysis.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include issues related to high levels of vitamin D such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, weakness and serious complications like kidney damage; however specific side effects from this treatment aren't detailed.
