Multicenter Study of Pharmacokinetic-Guided Docetaxel in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Docetaxel and Cyclophosphamide

September 9, 2020 updated by: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

Multicenter Study Investigating Utilization of Pharmacokinetic(PK)-Guided Docetaxel in Senior Adult Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Docetaxel and Cyclophosphamide (TC) Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to adjust the amount of docetaxel participants receive based on the level of docetaxel measured in their blood. This method of dose adjustment is called pharmacokinetic (PK)-adjusted docetaxel. The researchers believe that adjusting the dose of docetaxel using this method will lessen the side effects associated with docetaxel in cancer treatment.

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.

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.
Experimental: Standard of Care + Surveys
Standard of Care Docetaxel and Cyclophosphamide (TC) Chemotherapy + Surveys. TC Regimen with Function Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) Surveys. All participants will receive TC for cycle 1 with subsequent cycles repeated every 3 weeks for a total of 4 cycles. All initial dosing will be based on actual body weight and height. Participants will receive up to 4 doses of chemotherapy. Following their 4th dose of chemotherapy, or the last dose of chemotherapy in which blood level monitoring was performed, participants will be assessed for side effects from the chemotherapy and complete their final written 53 question survey about their quality of life.
Drug: Standard of Care: Docetaxel
Pharmacokinetic(PK)-guided docetaxel. Cycle 1: 75 mg/m^2, intravenously (IV) on Day 1 for 60 minutes. Beginning with cycle 2, the docetaxel dose will be individually adjusted before each cycle.
Other Names:
  • Taxotere®
Drug: Standard of Care: Cyclophosphamide
Cycle 1: 600 mg/m^2, via IV on Day 1 for 30 minutes. The cyclophosphamide dose will not be changed unless dictated by toxicity.
Other Names:
  • Cytoxan®
Other: Function Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) Surveys
Participants will complete the FACT-Taxane and FACT-Breast quality of life assessment written surveys at baseline, during each chemotherapy cycle, and 3-5 weeks following the last cycle in which PK monitoring was performed.

  • Questionnaire

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
Rate of Achieving Targeted Area Under the Curve (AUC)
Time Frame: Cycle 4 - Up to 6 months
Rate of PK guided dosing of docetaxel chemotherapy improving the ability to achieve a targeted AUC ( 2.5-3.7 mg*hr/L) within 4 cycles of therapy in patients > 65 years of age with breast cancer receiving TC (docetaxel and cyclophosphamide) as compared with historical non-PK guided therapy from patients receiving a similar regimen.
Cycle 4 - Up to 6 months

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Grade 3 and 4 Neutropenia and Febrile Neutropenia
Time Frame: Up to 6 months
The incidence of grade 3 and 4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia in cycles following PK adjustment (cycles 2-4) will be compared with cycle 1 and historical non-PK guided therapy using the Wilcoxon-Rank sum assessment.
Up to 6 months
Association Between Scores - Chemotherapy Risk Assessment Scale for High-Age Patients
Time Frame: Baseline and Post Cycle 1
The Chemotherapy Risk Assessment Scale for High-Age Patients (CRASH) score will be reported as ordinal data (low, intermediate-low, intermediate-high, or high risk).
Baseline and Post Cycle 1
Association Between Scores - Instrumental Activities of Daily Living
Time Frame: Baseline and Post Cycle 1
The Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) total score will be reported as binomial data (greater or less than 26 based on how it is incorporated into the CRASH score).
Baseline and Post Cycle 1
Association Between Scores - Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics
Time Frame: Baseline and Post Cycle 1

Baseline and Post Cycle 1

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
