Trial summary

Studies have shown that different percentages of body fat can alter the way drugs are distributed in the body. This study will use blood samples taken at different time points for patients taking Neupogen to determine if higher body weights affect drug exposure. Read more about this study

  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Obese and non-obese patients receiving filgrastim

Who may be able to join

  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years

About this study

Studies have shown that different percentages of body fat can alter the way drugs are distributed in the body. This study will use blood samples taken at different time points for patients taking Neupogen to determine if higher body weights affect drug exposure. The information gathered from this study will help understand if patients with higher body weights need a different dosing plan.

Patients in this study will have blood draws once before they take Neupogen and 6 times after they take the Neuopen (for a total of 24 hours). These patients will be in the hospital already and will not need to make additional trips back to have blood drawn. A total of about 5-6 tablespoons of blood will be drawn for this study. 15 obese patients and 15 matched, non-obese patients will be enrolled into this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematological Malignancy and Neutropenia, run by Aaron Cumpston, PharmD, BCOP 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 5 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 17 Dec 2020. 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 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?

Systemic clearance of filgrastim in obese and non-obese patients (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01719432, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Dec 2020.
