About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetic Study of Capecitabine in Elderly Cancer Patient (≥75 Years)

The aim of the study is to determine blood concentration evolution of capecitabine and its active metabolites, in elderly patient 75 years and more.

Read the detailed description

Blood samples will be taken before 1rst course of chemotherapy of capécitabine for colorectal or breast metastatic cancer.

Pharmacokinetic will be realizes at several times (H0,5, H1, H1,5, H2, H4, H6, H8) and repeated at D14 of the 2d cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Capecitabine in people with Breast Cancer and Colorectal Cancer, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 1 site in France.

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 15 inclusion and 14 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 Aug 2018. 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 France. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Mean value and dispersion of the main plasmatics pharmacokinetics parameters of capécitabine, 5'DFUR, 5-FU and FBAL. (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT00812864, 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 28 Aug 2018.
