Trial summary

Fludarabine is a chemotherapy drug used extensively in bone marrow transplantation. The goal of this study is to determine what causes some children to have different drug concentrations of fludarabine in their bodies and if drug levels are related to whether or not a child experiences severe side-effects during their… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: The target population for the proposed study includes children 0-17 years of age undergoing alloHCT for the treatment of malignant and nonmalignant disorders. Patients receiving fludarabine over 3 to 5 days are eligible to participate. All patients enrolled in this study will undergo PK sampling on the inpatient pediatric BMT unit at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. The proposed research will not study any patients receiving fludarabine in a clinic or any other out-patient setting.

Who may be able to join

  • Children 0-17 years of age
  • Undergoing alloHCT for the treatment of malignant or nonmalignant disorder
  • Receiving fludarabine-based preparative regimen

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: Population Pharmacokinetics of Fludarabine in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Fludarabine is a chemotherapy drug used extensively in bone marrow transplantation. The goal of this study is to determine what causes some children to have different drug concentrations of fludarabine in their bodies and if drug levels are related to whether or not a child experiences severe side-effects during their bone marrow transplant. The hypothesis is that clinical and genetic factors cause changes in fludarabine drug levels in pediatric bone marrow transplant patients and that high levels may cause severe side-effects.

Read the detailed description

Fludarabine is a nucleoside analog with potent antitumor and immunosuppressive properties used in conditioning regimens of pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) to promote stem cell engraftment.

This is a single-center, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) study investigating the clinical pharmacology of fludarabine in 45 children undergoing alloHCT at University of California, San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital.

Patients would receive fludarabine regardless of whether or not they decide to consent to PK sampling.

Fludarabine doses will not be adjusted based on PK data.

We will apply the combination of a D-optimality-based limited sampling strategy and population PK methodologies to determine specific factors influencing fludarabine exposure in pediatric alloHCT recipients and identify exposure-response relationships.

Subjects will undergo PK sampling of plasma (f-ara-a) and intracellular (f-ara-ATP) drug concentrations over the duration of fludarabine therapy (3 to 5 days).

To evaluate sources of variability impacting fludarabine exposure clinical data will be obtained from the patient's medical chart on each day of PK sampling.

A single blood draw for the collection of DNA and genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms of genes involved in fludarabine activation, transport or elimination will occur in all patients.

To assess exposure-response relationships neutrophil engraftment, treatment-related toxicity, and survival data will be collected through day 100 post-transplant.

What is being measured

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

  1. Analysis of the Area under the Plasma Concentration versus Time Curve (AUC) of fludarabine for HCT in pediatric patients.

    Measured: 2hours post start of infusion

  2. Analysis of the Area under the Plasma Concentration versus Time Curve (AUC) of fludarabine for HCT in pediatric patients.

    Measured: 3hours post start of infusion

  3. Analysis of the Area under the Plasma Concentration versus Time Curve (AUC) of fludarabine for HCT in pediatric patients.

    Measured: 6hours post start of infusion

  4. Analysis of the Area under the Plasma Concentration versus Time Curve (AUC) of fludarabine for HCT in pediatric patients.

    Measured: 24hours post start of infusion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Event free survival according to the AUC of fludarabine

    Measured: 1month post transplant

  2. Event free survival according to the AUC of fludarabine

    Measured: 3months post transplant

  3. Event free survival according to the AUC of fludarabine

    Measured: 1 year post transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematologic Malignancies and Nonmalignant Diseases, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 4 Oct 2021. 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 United States. 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?

Analysis of the Area under the Plasma Concentration versus Time Curve (AUC) of fludarabine for HCT in pediatric patients. (time frame: 2hours post start of infusion). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01316549, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Oct 2021.
