About this study

Official title: A Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic-Pharmacogenetic Study of Actinomycin-D and Vincristine in Children With Cancer

This laboratory study is evaluating how well dactinomycin and vincristine work in treating young patients with cancer. Studying samples of blood and urine in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn how dactinomycin and vincristine affect the body and how patients will respond to treatment.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of dactinomycin in infants, children, and adolescents with cancer.

II. To identify demographic or physiological factors that are determinants of dactinomycin disposition.

III. To characterize the PKs of vincristine (VCR) in infants, children, and adolescents with cancer.

IV. To identify demographic or physiological factors that are determinants of VCR disposition.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To examine the correlation of dactinomycin and VCR systemic exposure metrics with toxicity outcomes.

II. To explore the PK, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacogenetic relationships of dactinomycin and VCR in children with cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo blood and urine collection prior to, periodically during, and after treatment with dactinomycin and vincristine for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacogenetic analysis. Samples are analyzed using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay. Genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells is isolated and analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and genotyping assays for genetic variation in genes relevant to the pharmacology of dactinomycin and vincristine.

After the final pharmacokinetic sample is collected, patients are followed for up to 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma, run by Children's Oncology Group at 38 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, Australia, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Population PK parameters for dactinomycin and VCR (time frame: Not Provided). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 May 2017.
