Validation of Capillary Microsampling for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of CDK4/6 Inhibitors in Breast Cancer Patients (TDHOME) (TDHOME)

April 13, 2026 updated by: Institut Curie

Validation of Capillary Microsampling for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) of CDK4/6 Inhibitors in Breast Cancer Patients

This is a prospective validation study, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study, evaluating the concordance between capillary microsampling (using the VAMS Mitra device) and venous sampling in patients undergoing CDK4/6 therapy.

Conditions

Detailed Description

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) could serve as a valuable tool to minimize adverse events and maximize the efficacy of treatment in breast cancer patients receiving CDK4/6 inhibitors (ribociclib, abemaciclib, palbociclib). However, current TDM performed via venous blood draws can be inconvenient, especially for repeated sampling.

This study aims to evaluate the reliability of capillary (fingertip) microsampling-which could be performed at home as a less invasive alternative to standard venous sampling for measuring residual drug concentrations.

Five blood samples will be collected at a single time point during treatment, in accordance with the routine TDM schedule (the treatment duration will remain as per the prescribed CDK4/6 regimen): 4 capillary samples (using the VAMS Mitra device) including 2 samples collected by the study nurse who will train the patient to perform the 2 following samples him/herself; and 1 venous sample (5 mL heparinized tube).

Experimental: Blood samples collection in breast cancer in patients receiving CDK4/6 inhibitors

Five blood samples will be collected at a single time point during treatment, in accordance with the routine TDM schedule (the treatment duration will remain as per the prescribed CDK4/6 regimen).

The patients will also complete an acceptability Questionnaire following the samplings.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Measurement of the concordance between the drug concentrations obtained from capillary and venous sampling.
Time Frame: Day 1
The primary objective of the study is therefore to validate the reliability of capillary sampling (using the VAMS Mitra device) as an alternative to venous sampling for TDM of CDK4/6 inhibitors (ribociclib, abemaciclib, or palbociclib) in breast cancer patients. The primary endpoint will be the concordance between drug concentrations obtained from venous and capillary samples, assessed through Bland-Altman analysis.
Day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Intra-patient's variability of the measurements from microsamplings
Time Frame: Day 1
Reproducibility of capillary microsampling will be evaluated from the four replicate VAMS collections (two patient-collected, two nurse-collected). We will estimate within-patient variability as the coefficient of variation (CV %) across replicates and report duplicate %-difference.
Day 1
Acceptability of the device, as assessed by a patient satisfaction questionnaire.
Time Frame: Day 1
A satisfaction questionnaire for the use of VAMS-type microsampling device will be completed by the patient after the samples collection. Patient acceptability and usability of VAMS will be summarized descriptively with exploratory comparisons by age, sex, and collection setting (clinic vs home where applicable).
