About this study

Official title: Effect of CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 Activity on Pharmacokinetics of Paclitaxel, Correlation With Adverse Events in Cancer Patients With and Without Liver Impairment

The study aims to assess the pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel and its two major metabolites in patients with normal and impaired liver functions.

Read the detailed description

population pharmacokinetic study in patients with normal or impaired liver functions, receiving paclitaxel for cancer treatment.

40 Patients with histologically confirmed solid tumors will be enrolled in the study:

  • 20 patients have normal liver functions as defined by transaminase < 2.6 x ULN and bilirubin values < 1.26 x ULN.
  • 20 patients with liver impairment as defined by transaminase 2.6 - 10 x ULN and bilirubin values 1.26 - 5 x ULN.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Blood samplesOther

    Plasma concentrations of paclitaxel and its metabolites will be obtained during the first treatment cycle. The samples for paclitaxel analysis will be collected in ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid tubes at 7-time points: just before infusion, in the middle of the infusion, at the end of infusion, at 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours post-infusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. plasma concentrations of paclitaxel

    determination of plasma concentration and pharmacokinetic analysis of paclitaxel

    Measured: predose till 6 hours post infusion of paclitaxel

  2. plasma concentrations of 6-α-hydroxypaclitaxel

    determination of plasma concentration and pharmacokinetic analysis of 6-α-hydroxypaclitaxel

    Measured: predose till 6 hours post infusion of paclitaxel

  3. plasma concentrations of 3'-p-hydroxypaclitaxel

    determination of plasma concentration and pharmacokinetic analysis of 3'-p-hydroxypaclitaxel

    Measured: predose till 6 hours post infusion of paclitaxel

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Probing CYP 3A4 activity

    metabolite ratio of 6-α-hydroxypaclitaxel/paclitaxel

    Measured: predose till 6 hours post infusion of paclitaxel

  2. Probing CYP 2C8 activity

    metabolite ratio of 3'-p-hydroxypaclitaxel/paclitaxel

    Measured: predose till 6 hours post infusion of paclitaxel

  3. Incidence of adverse effects

    Complete blood count, liver functions and neuropathy evaluation (according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5) will be assessed

    Measured: baseline ( before first dose) till 100 days after the first dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Diseases, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ahmed M Mohamed, Master (01126109080, dr_ahmed_mostafa@med.asu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

plasma concentrations of paclitaxel (time frame: predose till 6 hours post infusion of paclitaxel). The study lists 3 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 28 Apr 2021.
