About this study

The purpose of this study is to analysis of the pharmacokinetics of fludarabine for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in pediatric patients.

Read the detailed description

Fludarabine is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children. However, no pharmacokinetic study has thus far been conducted in pediatric patients. Fludarabine can cause adverse reactions which include neurotoxicity, damage to lungs. Pharmacokinetic study is critical to predict the safety of fludarabine in pediatric patients.

Through an individualized pharmacokinetic study (which entails numerous samplings) of fludarabine in pediatric patients, this study aims to develop a sampling-minimized analysis method and study the population pharmacokinetics.

Through a pharmacokinetic analysis, we aim to evaluate whether pediatric patients show similar population pharmacokinetics of adults, for whom fludarabine is authorized, and evaluate the safety (toxicity) and efficacy (event free survival).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fludarabine in people with Acute Leukemia and Chronic Leukemia, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2014. 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 South Korea. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hyoung Jin Kang, MD, PhD (+82 2 2072 0177, kanghj@snu.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Analysis of the pharmacokinetics of fludarabine for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in pediatric patients (time frame: 0hr (pre-dose), 30 min, 1, 3, 5, 8, 24hrs post-dose). 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 20 Aug 2014.
