June 27, 2013 updated by: University Hospital Muenster

Phase II Pharmacokinetic Study to Assess the Age-dependency in the Clearance of Doxorubicin in Paediatric Patients With Solid Tumours and Leukaemia

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  • Paediatric patients up to the age of 17 years will be included. Number and time points of PK sampling will depend on age and tumour type.
  • PK samples will be collected from two doxorubicin administrations. Analyzing samples from two doxorubicin administrations will allow distinguishing between interindividual, intraindividual and residual variability.
  • Doxorubicin and its major metabolite doxorubicinol will be measured in plasma using HPLC
  • In addition, the natriuretic peptide BNP and the precursors NT-pro ANP and NT-proBNP as well as troponin T will be measured in plasma up to 28 days after doxorubicin administration to evaluate their use as clinical markers for cardiotoxicity.
  • A data set of max 5 samples (3 +2 (in the 1st + 2nd Doxorubicin sampling periods)) will be collected in the younger children (< 3 years) and a data set of max. 8 samples ( 5 + 3) will be collected in the older children. Samples will be taken at predefined time points/ time intervals.
  • An additional DNA sample will be taken and analyzed for genetic polymorphisms. The influence of genotype on pharmacokinetics and metabolism will be investigated by appropriate statistical methods, including population pharmacokinetic analyses. Genes to study would include MDR1 and SLC22A16, both involved in the transport of doxorubicin and AKR1A1 and CBR1, both involved in the reduction of doxorubicin to doxorubicinol. Selected genotypes will be incorporated as covariates into the population pharmacokinetic models developed. The potential impact of genetic variation will be evaluated in the context of other sources of variability such as age, weight, gender etc

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 17 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study
