About this study

Official title: Phase II Pharmacokinetic Study to Assess the Age-dependency in the Clearance of Doxorubicin in Paediatric Patients With Solid Tumours and Leukaemia

Analyze pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin in children with cancer. Furthermore investigate the predictive role of troponin and natriuretic peptides for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity .

Read the detailed description
  • Paediatric patients up to the age of 17 years will be included. Number and time points of PK sampling will depend on age and tumour type.
  • PK samples will be collected from two doxorubicin administrations. Analyzing samples from two doxorubicin administrations will allow distinguishing between interindividual, intraindividual and residual variability.
  • Doxorubicin and its major metabolite doxorubicinol will be measured in plasma using HPLC
  • In addition, the natriuretic peptide BNP and the precursors NT-pro ANP and NT-proBNP as well as troponin T will be measured in plasma up to 28 days after doxorubicin administration to evaluate their use as clinical markers for cardiotoxicity.
  • A data set of max 5 samples (3 +2 (in the 1st + 2nd Doxorubicin sampling periods)) will be collected in the younger children (< 3 years) and a data set of max. 8 samples ( 5 + 3) will be collected in the older children. Samples will be taken at predefined time points/ time intervals.
  • An additional DNA sample will be taken and analyzed for genetic polymorphisms. The influence of genotype on pharmacokinetics and metabolism will be investigated by appropriate statistical methods, including population pharmacokinetic analyses. Genes to study would include MDR1 and SLC22A16, both involved in the transport of doxorubicin and AKR1A1 and CBR1, both involved in the reduction of doxorubicin to doxorubicinol. Selected genotypes will be incorporated as covariates into the population pharmacokinetic models developed. The potential impact of genetic variation will be evaluated in the context of other sources of variability such as age, weight, gender etc

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess age-dependency in pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin in paediatric patients with solid tumours and leukaemia

    Measure doxorubicin and doxorubicinol concentration in blood plasma. Collect samples at two different doxorubicin infusions.

    Measured: 24h

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assess interindividual, intraindividual and residual variability of PK parameters in children

    Measure doxorubicin and doxorubicinol concentration in blood plasma. Collect samples at two different doxorubicin infusions.

    Measured: 24h

  2. Assess relationship between PK parameters and patient characteristics

    Measure doxorubicin and doxorubicinol concentration in blood plasma. Collect samples at two different doxorubicin infusions.

    Measured: 24h

  3. Explore in a preliminary fashion genetic polymorphisms that may influence doxorubicin clearance

    Obtain one whole blood sample per patient, if separate consent was given.

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Evaluate the potential role of natriuretic peptides and troponin as indicators for subclinical cardiotoxicity

    Measure troponin T, troponin I, BNP, NT-proBNP, NT-proANP. Collect samples at two different doxorubicin infusions before and up to 1month after doxorubicin administration.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing doxorubicin in people with Wilms Tumor and Neuroblastoma, run by University Hospital Muenster at 23 sites in 4 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 7 inclusion and 1 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 28 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in France, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Assess age-dependency in pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin in paediatric patients with solid tumours and leukaemia (time frame: 24h). 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 28 Jun 2013.
