Trial summary

High dose methotrexate (MTX) is responsible of severe toxicity in patients in whom elimination from plasma is delayed. Factors responsible for MTX accumulation are partly known but some patients still experience toxicity despite adequate measures being taken. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Urinary Ratio of the Coproporphyrins Isomers I and III and Its Relationships With Methotrexate Elimination in Patients With a Lymphoid Malignancy

High dose methotrexate (MTX) is responsible of severe toxicity in patients in whom elimination from plasma is delayed. Factors responsible for MTX accumulation are partly known but some patients still experience toxicity despite adequate measures being taken. Our hypothesis is that renal tubular secretion may be impaired in these patients. This study aims at evaluating the performance of the UCP ratio (urinary ratio of coproporphyrins), a putative biomarker of tubular secretion, in predicting delayed MTX elimination.

Read the detailed description

MTX is a substrate of MRP2, a renal tubular transporter encoded by the ABCC2 gene. It has been shown that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the ABCC2 gene are associated with impairment of MTX elimination. Mutations on the ABCC2 gene are also responsible for the Dubin-Johnson syndrome, characterised by the absence of a functional MRP2 protein. Apart from hyperbilirubinaemia, the main biological perturbation observed in this disease is a typical increase of the urinary ratio of coproporphyrins I (I+ III) (UCP ratio). Our hypothesis is that the UCP ratio could be used as a biomarker of MRP2's activity, thus predicting MTX elimination. One hundred patients treated with high dose MTX will be recruited in this prospective study. Their UCP ratio will be measured before and after MTX administration and correlated with MTX clearance. A genetic analysis will be conducted to study the five more frequents SNPs of ABCC2 in each patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. MTX concentrations

    Measured: at the end of MTX infusion and every 24-hours until concentrations reach 0,2µM.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The UCP I/(I+III) ratio

    Measured: before and at the end of MTX infusion and at the end of hospitalisation.

  2. Five polymorphisms of the ABCC2 gene (-24C/T, 1249G/A, 3563T/A, 4544G/A)

    Measured: during the study

  3. Blood cells count .

    Measured: before MTX infusion and at the end of hospitalisation

  4. Renal function

    Measured: before MTX infusion and at the end of hospitalisation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Central Nervous System Neoplasms and Lymphoma, Large B-Cell, Diffuse, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 2 sites 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 31 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

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?

MTX concentrations (time frame: at the end of MTX infusion and every 24-hours until concentrations reach 0,2µM.). 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 NCT00822432, 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 31 Jul 2012.
