About this study

To investigate effect of genetic variations on the toxicities and find optimal target population, the investigators planned to analyze the genetic polymorphisms of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase.

Read the detailed description

Transfusion-associated iron overload induces systemic toxicity. Recently, deferasirox, a convenient long acting oral agent, has been introduced in clinical practice with promising efficacy. However, some patients experience drug-related toxicities and cannot tolerate it. To investigate effect of genetic variations on the toxicities and find optimal target population, we planned to analyze the genetic polymorphisms of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A (UGT1A) subfamily, multi-drug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) among pediatric patients received deferasirox.

What is being measured

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

  1. Genetic polymorphism associated with side effects of deferasirox

    Genetic polymorphism associated with side effects of deferasirox

    • Side effects:

    Increased AST or ALT > 5 x ULN or increased bilirubin > 3 x ULN which was thought to be caused by deferasirox Serum creatinine level increase > 50% above the baseline value.

    • Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
    • Candidate genes exhibit polymorphisms and encodes proteins that are involved in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of deferasirox.

    Candidate genes : MRP2, BCRP, UGT1A subfamily

    Measured: up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemosiderosis, 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 14 Jul 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.

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?

Genetic polymorphism associated with side effects of deferasirox (time frame: up to 1 year). 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 14 Jul 2014.
