Study of 0.1% Uracil Topical Cream (UTC) for the Prevention of Hand-Foot Syndrome

October 5, 2019 updated by: Nanometics (d.b.a. PHD Biosciences)

A Phase 1-2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetic Profile of 0.1% Uracil Topical Cream (UTC) in the Prevention of Hand-Foot Syndrome (HFS) in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated With Capecitabine

The purpose of this research study is to see if combining uracil cream (UTC) with capecitabine (Xeloda) can prevent Hand-Foot Syndrome. The study will also see what effects UTC and capecitabine may have in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

Capecitabine is used in the treatment of human breast cancer among other human cancers. Following absorption, capecitabine is converted enzymatically to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The administration of capecitabine or 5-FU can cause a cutaneous toxicity known as hand-foot syndrome (HFS) or palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE). HFS is progressive with dose and duration of exposure to 5-FU or capecitabine. HFS is characterized by progressive redness and cracking of hands and feet. Currently, there are no approved therapies for HFS.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Females, at least 18 years old
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic breast cancer
  • You also cannot have any ulcerations or open wounds on palms of hands or soles of feet

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C)prior to entering the study or if you have not recovered to Grade 1 or better (except for alopecia)from adverse events due to agents administered more than 2 weeks earlier.
  • Use vitamin 6, chronic use of Cox-2 inhibitors, use full-dose anti- coagulants or use nicotine patches.

The above is not a complete list of eligibility criteria. Please see your study doctor for more information.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Grade 2 and 3 HFS as graded by Roche Criteria
Time Frame: Maximum of 6 months of therapy
  • Time to first HFS event
  • Requirements for capecitabine dose reduction/interruption due to HFS
  • Digital Photos will be taken of the hands and feet at specific intervals
Maximum of 6 months of therapy
Serum Pharmacokinetic Levels of Uracil will be drawn
Time Frame: Maximum of 6 months of therapy
Pharmacokinetic levels will be drawn at specific intervals
Maximum of 6 months of therapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
