Trial summary

Sunitinib is an anticancer drug, but like most drugs, the effect varies from person to person. This is partly due to a variation in how well each person eradicates the drug from the body. This can lead to toxicity if the drug is eliminated slowly. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Predictive Value of Drug Elimination Gene Polymorphisms on Clearance and Dose Adjustment of Sunitinib (Sutent, SU11248) in Patients With Cancer

Sunitinib is an anticancer drug, but like most drugs, the effect varies from person to person. This is partly due to a variation in how well each person eradicates the drug from the body. This can lead to toxicity if the drug is eliminated slowly. Just as important is inadvertent underdosing in people who eliminate the drug quickly which may lead to a reduced anti-cancer effect. The investigators group has developed a battery of tests that may measure how an individual clears a drug from their body. The investigators intend to apply these tests to a group of patients taking sunitinib to see whether any test will help predict the level of sunitinib in the body and also the side effects. If a test seems to be promising from this study it may be possible to do a simple test on patients before they receive sunitinib so the best dose is chosen. The tests involve identifying the genes that are involved with drug elimination (CYP3A, ABCB1, ABCG2, OCT1, OATP) as well as directly measuring elimination using marker drugs (midazolam clearance and sestamibi liver clearance).

What is being measured

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

  1. To observe the correlation between ABCB1 polymorphisms in Exons 13, 22 and 27 and the clearance of sunitinib at steady state.

    A blood sample will be drawn on day 1 of any treatment cycle and at steady state of the same cycle (between Day 21 and 28 inclusive)

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To determine whether ABCB1 genotype correlates with toxicity-adjusted dose of sunitinib

    Toxicity adjustments will be collected within the first 3 months and correlated with the ABCB1 genotypes.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. To determine the pharmacokinetics at steady state of the sunitinib treatment.

    A blood sample will be drawn on day 1 of treatment cycle and at steady state of the same cycle (between Day 21 and 28 inclusive). The time of the blood collection are at day1 and in the 4th week: pre-drug administration then at 4 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours after drug intake.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. To examine correlations between ABCB1 genotype and toxicity grade according to CTC criteria.

    The toxicity data of the first 3 months of treatment will be collected.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. To examine the correlation between genotype haplotype of other drug elimination genes, such as organic anion transporter proteins (OATP) and other biliary efflux proteins such as MRP2, BCRP with sunitinib clearance and toxicity adjusted dose.

    Investigations of drugelimination and clearance taken with in the first 4 weeks of the study will be collected as well as the toxicity data and dose adjustments within the first 3 month of treatment.

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Correlation of drug elimination phenotype test (sestamibi liver scan and Midazolam clearance) with sunitinib clearance

    sestamibi liver scan and midazolam clearance test will be performed pre-treatment and at steady state (sometime between day 21-28)of study participation.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 7 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 12 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 3 sites in Netherlands, Australia. 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?

To observe the correlation between ABCB1 polymorphisms in Exons 13, 22 and 27 and the clearance of sunitinib at steady state. (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 12 Jul 2012.
