About this study

Official title: A Study of Population Pharmacokinetics of Docetaxel (Taxotere) in Caucasian and African-American Cancer Patients

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of docetaxel in treating Caucasian and African American patients who have solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the population pharmacokinetics of docetaxel in Caucasians and African American patients with solid tumors.
  • Compare the pharmacodynamic effect of a single dose of docetaxel in relation to hematological toxicity in these patient populations.
  • Determine the CYP3A4 genotype and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression and their relationship to docetaxel clearance in these patient populations.

OUTLINE: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Patients may receive additional courses beginning 21 days after the first docetaxel dose at the discretion of the physician.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel in people with Bladder Cancer and Breast Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 74 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 14 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 74 sites in United States, Canada, Puerto Rico. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00003565, 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 14 Jul 2016.
