Trial summary

RATIONALE: Studying blood samples from cancer patients undergoing pain treatment in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about how pain drugs work in the body. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at fentanyl in patients with cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics of Continuous Infusion Fentanyl in Cancer Patients

RATIONALE: Studying blood samples from cancer patients undergoing pain treatment in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about how pain drugs work in the body. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at fentanyl in patients with cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To describe the pharmacokinetics of prolonged intravenous infusions of fentanyl citrate in adult patients with cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo blood sample collection before and after discontinuation of fentanyl citrate therapy (10 days total). Pharmacokinetic analysis is performed on the samples.

Being tested
fentanyl citrate, pharmacological study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors and Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2013. 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 was stopped early (reason given: poor accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Pharmacokinetics of fentanyl citrate (time frame: two baseline samples, serial samples obtained at 0,4,8,24,48,72,96,168,240 hrs after discontinuing fentanyl). 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 18 Apr 2013.
