Trial summary

Thiotepa is a chemotherapy drug used extensively in bone marrow transplantation. Thiotepa is a prodrug that undergoes metabolic conversion in the liver by CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 to its primary active metabolite, triethylene phosphoramide (TEPA). 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 autologous and allogeneic HCT for the treatment of malignant and nonmalignant disorders. Patients receiving thiotepa 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 thiotepa in a clinic or any other out-patient setting.

Who may be able to join

  • be between 0 to 17 years of age;
  • meet protocol specific eligibility criteria for autologous or allogeneic HCT
  • will be receiving thiotepa as part of their conditioning regimen.

Who cannot join

  • Any child 7-17 years of age unwilling to provide assent
  • Parent or guardian unwilling to provide written consent

About this study

Official title: Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Thiotepa and TEPA in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT).

Thiotepa is a chemotherapy drug used extensively in bone marrow transplantation. Thiotepa is a prodrug that undergoes metabolic conversion in the liver by CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 to its primary active metabolite, triethylene phosphoramide (TEPA). The goal of this study is to determine what causes some children to have different drug concentrations of thiotepa and TEPA 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 certain clinical and genetic factors cause changes in thiotepa and TEPA drug levels in pediatric bone marrow transplant patients and that high levels may cause severe side-effects.

Read the detailed description

Thiotepa is an alkylating agent with potent antitumor and immunosuppressive properties used in conditioning regimens of pediatric hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to promote stem cell engraftment. Thiotepa is a prodrug that undergoes metabolic conversion in the liver by CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 to its primary active metabolite, TEPA.

This is a single-center, prospective, non-interventional pharmacokinetics (PK) study investigating the clinical pharmacology of thiotepa and TEPA in 60 children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) at University of California, San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital. Patients would receive thiotepa regardless of whether or not they decide to consent to PK sampling.

Thiotepa doses will not be adjusted based on PK data. The investigators will apply the combination of a limited sampling strategy and population PK methodologies to determine specific factors influencing thiotepa and TEPA exposure in pediatric HCT recipients. Population PK methodologies support the use of sparse sampling and therefore allow the investigators to investigate drug levels in a pediatric population that would otherwise not be feasible using traditional intensive PK sampling.

Subjects will undergo PK sampling of plasma thiotepa and TEPA drug concentrations over the duration of thiotepa therapy (3 to 5 days).

To evaluate sources of variability impacting thiotepa and TEPA 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 thiotepa for HCT in pediatric patients.

    Area-under-the-curve (AUC) will be derived from the empirical Bayes estimates of individual clearance

    Measured: 2 hours post start of infusion

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

    Area-under-the-curve (AUC) will be derived from the empirical Bayes estimates of individual clearance

    Measured: 4 hours post start of infusion

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

    Area-under-the-curve (AUC) will be derived from the empirical Bayes estimates of individual clearance

    Measured: 6 hours post start of infusion

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

    Area-under-the-curve (AUC) will be derived from the empirical Bayes estimates of individual clearance

    Measured: 24 hours post start of infusion

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

    Death due to any cause within 1 month post-transplant will be considered an event.

    Measured: 1 month post transplant

  2. Event free survival according to the AUC of thiotepa

    Death due to any cause within day 3 months post-transplant will be considered an event.

    Measured: 3 months post transplant

  3. Event free survival according to the AUC of thiotepa

    Death due to any cause within day 1 year post-transplant will be considered an event.

    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 21 Sep 2023. 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 thiotepa for HCT in pediatric patients. (time frame: 2 hours 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?
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 21 Sep 2023.
