A Pharmacokinetic Study of Nutri-PEITC Jelly in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors

October 6, 2018 updated by: Dental Innovation Foundation Under Royal Patronage

A Pharmacokinetic Study of PEITC in Nutri-Jelly in Healthy Head and Neck Cancer Survivors

This research aims to evaluate the absorption and elimination profile of a bioactive compound PEITC in the matrix of Nutri-jelly - a novel edible nutritious gel. Thus, the investigators conducted a pharmacokinetic study in 12 head and neck cancer survivors. After consumed a serving of Nutri-jelly containing 20 mg PEITC, plasma levels of PEITC at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours were specifically measured by ammonia derivatization and analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was performed.

Detailed Description

β-phenylethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) is a phytochemical found in cruciferous vegetables with anti-cancer properties in vitro and in vivo. However, its pharmacokinetic profile in cancer survivors were unknown. A pharmacokinetic study was conducted in head and neck cancer survivors to evaluate the absorption and elimination profile of PEITC in the matrix of Nutri-jelly - a novel edible nutritious gel. Twelve head and neck cancer survivors consumed a serving of Nutri-jelly containing 20 mg PEITC. Plasma levels of PEITC at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours were specifically measured by ammonia derivatization and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was performed. Pharmacokinetic parameters including Cmax, Tmax, half-life, clearance were analyzed.

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.

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
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of PEITC
Time Frame: Day 0 - Day 1
Plasma concentration of PEITC during 24 hours after intake of Nutri-jelly will be measured and the highest concentration will be identified.
Day 0 - Day 1
Time to reach maximum concentration (Tmax)
Time Frame: Day 0 - Day 1
The duration to reach maximum plasma concentration of PEITC will be calculated.
Day 0 - Day 1

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
Area under the curve of plasma concentration of PEITC and time
Time Frame: Day 0 - Day 1
Graph between plasma concentration and time will be plotted. The area under the curve will be calculated.
Day 0 - Day 1
