About this study

Official title: Impact of Obesity on the Pharmacokinetics of Anticancer Therapy in Children With High Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

This clinical trial is studying body mass index in younger patients receiving prednisone/prednisolone, vincristine, daunorubicin, and pegaspargase for high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the affect of body mass index on the way anticancer drugs work in the body. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To compare the pharmacokinetics of prednisone/prednisolone, vincristine, and daunorubicin hydrochloride among obese, middle-weight, and underweight children aged 10 to less than 20 years of age undergoing induction therapy for high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

II. To examine the relationship between the above parameters and response status as defined by early response and induction failure

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to body mass index (BMI) (greater than or equal to 95th percentile [obese] vs 10th to 95th percentile [normal or at risk for overweight] vs less than or equal to 10th percentile [underweight]).

Patients receive anticancer therapy as prescribed by their treating clinicians. Patients receive prednisone/prednisolone orally twice on either day 1 or day 8. Patients also receive daunorubicin hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes and vincristine IV once on the same day.

Blood samples are obtained on either day 1 or day 8** of induction therapy for pharmacokinetic analysis of prednisone, daunorubicin hydrochloride, and vincristine activity levels.

Blood samples are analyzed via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultrafiltration, a Nessler reaction, ELISA, and liquid chromatography using reverse-phase chromatography, fluorescent detection, and solid-phase extraction.

Demographic information, including ethnicity, is also collected. Weight and height is recorded at diagnosis and on the day pharmacokinetic assessment of vincristine, prednisone, and daunorubicin hydrochloride begins.

NOTE: **Patients who are being sampled on day 8 of induction therapy and who have received intravenous corticosteroid therapy in the first week of induction must have received at least six oral prednisone/prednisolone doses prior to the morning prednisone/prednisolone dose on day 8.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetic parameters of prednisone/prednisolone

    Two multiple comparisons (normal weight versus obese and normal weight versus underweight groups) will be conducted with a priori planned contrasts using the Bonferroni adjustment method.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 to 8, 10 and 12 hours

  2. Pharmacokinetic parameters of daunorubicin hydrochloride

    Two multiple comparisons (normal weight versus obese and normal weight versus underweight groups) will be conducted with a priori planned contrasts using the Bonferroni adjustment method.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 to 36 hours, and 48 to 72 hours

  3. Pharmacokinetic parameters of vincristine sulfate

    Two multiple comparisons (normal weight versus obese and normal weight versus underweight groups) will be conducted with a priori planned contrasts using the Bonferroni adjustment method.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24 to 36 hours, and 48 to 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. RER and SER status

    To examine the relationship between pharmacokinetic parameters and RER versus SER status, univariate and multiple logistic regressions will be performed.

    Measured: Up to 1.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Untreated Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Children's Oncology Group 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?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 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 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Pharmacokinetic parameters of prednisone/prednisolone (time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 to 8, 10 and 12 hours). 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 7 Aug 2018.
