Study of Thiotepa and TEPA Drug Exposure in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients

September 18, 2023 updated by: University of California, San Francisco

Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Thiotepa and TEPA in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT).

Thiotepa is a chemotherapy drug used extensively in bone marrow transplantation. Thiotepa is a prodrug that undergoes metabolic conversion in the liver by CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 to its primary active metabolite, triethylene phosphoramide (TEPA). The goal of this study is to determine what causes some children to have different drug concentrations of thiotepa and TEPA in their bodies and if drug levels are related to whether or not a child experiences severe side-effects during their bone marrow transplant. The hypothesis is that certain clinical and genetic factors cause changes in thiotepa and TEPA drug levels in pediatric bone marrow transplant patients and that high levels may cause severe side-effects.

Detailed Description

Thiotepa is an alkylating agent with potent antitumor and immunosuppressive properties used in conditioning regimens of pediatric hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to promote stem cell engraftment. Thiotepa is a prodrug that undergoes metabolic conversion in the liver by CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 to its primary active metabolite, TEPA.

This is a single-center, prospective, non-interventional pharmacokinetics (PK) study investigating the clinical pharmacology of thiotepa and TEPA in 60 children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) at University of California, San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital. Patients would receive thiotepa regardless of whether or not they decide to consent to PK sampling.

Thiotepa doses will not be adjusted based on PK data. The investigators will apply the combination of a limited sampling strategy and population PK methodologies to determine specific factors influencing thiotepa and TEPA exposure in pediatric HCT recipients. Population PK methodologies support the use of sparse sampling and therefore allow the investigators to investigate drug levels in a pediatric population that would otherwise not be feasible using traditional intensive PK sampling.

Subjects will undergo PK sampling of plasma thiotepa and TEPA drug concentrations over the duration of thiotepa therapy (3 to 5 days).

To evaluate sources of variability impacting thiotepa and TEPA exposure clinical data will be obtained from the patient's medical chart on each day of PK sampling.

A single blood draw for the collection of DNA and genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms of genes involved in fludarabine activation, transport or elimination will occur in all patients.

To assess exposure-response relationships neutrophil engraftment, treatment-related toxicity, and survival data will be collected through day 100 post-transplant.

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

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The target population for the proposed study includes children 0-17 years of age undergoing autologous and allogeneic HCT for the treatment of malignant and nonmalignant disorders. Patients receiving thiotepa over 3 to 5 days are eligible to participate. All patients enrolled in this study will undergo PK sampling on the inpatient pediatric BMT unit at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. The proposed research will not study any patients receiving thiotepa in a clinic or any other out-patient setting.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. be between 0 to 17 years of age;
  2. meet protocol specific eligibility criteria for autologous or allogeneic HCT
  3. will be receiving thiotepa as part of their conditioning regimen.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any child 7-17 years of age unwilling to provide assent
  • Parent or guardian unwilling to provide written consent

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.

Analysis of the Area under the Plasma Concentration versus Time Curve (AUC) of thiotepa for HCT in pediatric patients.
Time Frame: 2 hours post start of infusion
