About this study

Official title: Exploration of Genetic Polymorphisms Related to Individual Variations of Side Effects of Cyclophosphamide in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Treatment

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the side effects of cyclophosphamide in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Han Chinese and the genetic polymorphisms of drug metabolizing enzymes and pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide.

Read the detailed description

Cyclophosphamide is a widely applied agent in treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus. As an alkylating agent, cyclophosphamide is able to induce several side effects, including thinned hair, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, infection, myelosuppression, etc. However, the remarkable variability of the reactions to the drug -- the incidence of side effect or the outcome of the treatment -- has been observed among patients. Cyclophosphamide is a pro-drug, which require some enzymes in the liver to transform it into an active chemical to arouse alkylating function. And then it undergoes a series of detoxification steps catalyzed by the specific metabolic enzymes. This study is designed to explore the genetic variation among individuals in the key processes of the activation and elimination of cyclophosphamide in order to find out whether these genetic factors are associated to the side effects or efficacy. The further understanding into the factors concerning on the drug might imply possible solution to minimize the incidence of side effects in patients of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic and Adverse Effects, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 20 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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.

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 20 Jun 2012.
