Trial summary

Docetaxel is used as a first line anti-cancer drug in the treatment of several cancers, mainly breast- and metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma. Anti-cancer drugs are being dosed based on patients estimated Body Surface Area in order to equalize total drug exposure. Read more about this study

About this study

Docetaxel is used as a first line anti-cancer drug in the treatment of several cancers, mainly breast- and metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma.

Anti-cancer drugs are being dosed based on patients estimated Body Surface Area in order to equalize total drug exposure. Nevertheless, docetaxel treatment is characterized by highly interindividual pharmacokinetic variation leading to toxicity and under-treatment.

The investigators will determine which anthropometric parameters, LBM, total body weight (TBW) or BSA correlate best to docetaxel exposure (AUC) for both males and females.

Docetaxel is used as a first line anti-cancer drug in the treatment of several cancers, mainly breast- and metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma.

Anti-cancer drugs are being dosed based on patients estimated Body Surface Area in order to equalize total drug exposure. Nevertheless, docetaxel treatment is characterized by highly interindividual pharmacokinetic variation leading to toxicity and under-treatment.

For most anti-cancer drugs, including docetaxel, other anthropometric parameters, such as Lean Body Mass (LBM), have been suggested to be superior to Body Surface Are (BSA) as a determinant for dosing but this has not been implemented in clinical practice.

The investigators will determine which anthropometric parameters, LBM, total body weight (TBW) or BSA correlate best to docetaxel exposure (AUC) for both males and females.

The investigators will determine if occurrence of docetaxel toxicity can be related to dose/LBM.

The investigators will determine which methods to measure LBM: DEXA, Bioelectrical Impedance Assessments (BIA) or formula estimates are accurate enough for dosing calculations to be used for dosing docetaxel.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lean body massOther

    Lean Body mass (DEXA scan and Bioelectrical Impedance Assessments) within one week prior to the first docetaxel dose

  • Total body weightOther

    Total Body weight (TBW) (scale) within one week prior to the first docetaxel dose

  • bloodsamplingOther

    Blood samples will be taken during the first docetaxel administration of the first cycle, just before docetaxel infusion (t=0 min.), 30 min after start of infusion (t=30 min.), just prior to end of infusion (t=55 min.) and between 3 to 6 hours post start infusion following a limited sampling model

What is being measured

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

  1. anthropometric parameters related to exposure

    To determine which anthropometric parameters, LBM, total body weight (TBW) or BSA correlates best to docetaxel exposure (AUC) for both males and females

    Measured: within one week prior to first docetaxel dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. relation between docetaxel toxicity and dose/LBM

    can docetaxel toxicity be related to dose/LBM? docetaxel toxicity is defined as: number of rates of grade 3/4 toxicity, dose delay, dose reduction, treatment termination and combinations of all four as Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Measured: 1 cycle (21 days)

  2. determine the best method to measure lean body mass

    To determine which methods to measure LBM: Bioelectrical Impedance As-sessments (BIA) or formula estimates are accurate enough for dosing calculations to be used for dosing docetaxel. These methods will be compared to the LBM derived from the DEXA scan as the general accepted, accurate and validated method for determining LBM.

    Measured: within one week prior to first docetaxel dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Carcinoma, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2015. 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 Netherlands. 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?

anthropometric parameters related to exposure (time frame: within one week prior to first docetaxel 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 13 Aug 2015.
