Lean Body Mass as a Determinant of Docetaxel Pharmacokinetics and Toxicity (LEANDOC)

August 12, 2015 updated by: Radboud University Medical Center

Docetaxel is used as a first line anti-cancer drug in the treatment of several cancers, mainly breast- and metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma.

Anti-cancer drugs are being dosed based on patients estimated Body Surface Area in order to equalize total drug exposure. Nevertheless, docetaxel treatment is characterized by highly interindividual pharmacokinetic variation leading to toxicity and under-treatment.

The investigators will determine which anthropometric parameters, LBM, total body weight (TBW) or BSA correlate best to docetaxel exposure (AUC) for both males and females.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Docetaxel is used as a first line anti-cancer drug in the treatment of several cancers, mainly breast- and metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma.

Anti-cancer drugs are being dosed based on patients estimated Body Surface Area in order to equalize total drug exposure. Nevertheless, docetaxel treatment is characterized by highly interindividual pharmacokinetic variation leading to toxicity and under-treatment.

For most anti-cancer drugs, including docetaxel, other anthropometric parameters, such as Lean Body Mass (LBM), have been suggested to be superior to Body Surface Are (BSA) as a determinant for dosing but this has not been implemented in clinical practice.

The investigators will determine which anthropometric parameters, LBM, total body weight (TBW) or BSA correlate best to docetaxel exposure (AUC) for both males and females.

The investigators will determine if occurrence of docetaxel toxicity can be related to dose/LBM.

The investigators will determine which methods to measure LBM: DEXA, Bioelectrical Impedance Assessments (BIA) or formula estimates are accurate enough for dosing calculations to be used for dosing docetaxel.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
TAC regimen
Female subject diagnosed with breast carcinoma and will receive docetaxel treatment according to standard hospital protocol
Lean Body mass (DEXA scan and Bioelectrical Impedance Assessments) within one week prior to the first docetaxel dose
Total Body weight (TBW) (scale) within one week prior to the first docetaxel dose
Blood samples will be taken during the first docetaxel administration of the first cycle, just before docetaxel infusion (t=0 min.), 30 min after start of infusion (t=30 min.), just prior to end of infusion (t=55 min.) and between 3 to 6 hours post start infusion following a limited sampling model
PRODOC regimen
male subject diagnosed with metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma and will receive docetaxel treatment according to standard hospital protocol
Lean Body mass (DEXA scan and Bioelectrical Impedance Assessments) within one week prior to the first docetaxel dose
Total Body weight (TBW) (scale) within one week prior to the first docetaxel dose
Blood samples will be taken during the first docetaxel administration of the first cycle, just before docetaxel infusion (t=0 min.), 30 min after start of infusion (t=30 min.), just prior to end of infusion (t=55 min.) and between 3 to 6 hours post start infusion following a limited sampling model

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
anthropometric parameters related to exposure
Time Frame: within one week prior to first docetaxel dose
To determine which anthropometric parameters, LBM, total body weight (TBW) or BSA correlates best to docetaxel exposure (AUC) for both males and females
within one week prior to first docetaxel dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
relation between docetaxel toxicity and dose/LBM
Time Frame: 1 cycle (21 days)
can docetaxel toxicity be related to dose/LBM? docetaxel toxicity is defined as: number of rates of grade 3/4 toxicity, dose delay, dose reduction, treatment termination and combinations of all four as Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)
1 cycle (21 days)
determine the best method to measure lean body mass
Time Frame: within one week prior to first docetaxel dose
To determine which methods to measure LBM: Bioelectrical Impedance As-sessments (BIA) or formula estimates are accurate enough for dosing calculations to be used for dosing docetaxel. These methods will be compared to the LBM derived from the DEXA scan as the general accepted, accurate and validated method for determining LBM.
within one week prior to first docetaxel dose
