Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to document what course of action physicians choose for their patients when they develop taxane acute pain syndrome (TAPS) and to identify patients at the greatest risk of TAPS by examining specific human genome markers such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and Copy Number… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multi-Centre Study to Investigate the Natural History of Taxane Acute Pain Syndrome (TAPS) in Patients Receiving Taxane Chemotherapy for Breast or Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to document what course of action physicians choose for their patients when they develop taxane acute pain syndrome (TAPS) and to identify patients at the greatest risk of TAPS by examining specific human genome markers such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and Copy Number Variations (CNVs) that may explain the genetic (hereditary) component.

What participants receive

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

  • Quality of life and brief pain inventoryOther

    blood collection and quality of life questionnaires and a pain medication diary

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of TAPS

    Participant will be asked prior to each taxane chemotherapy if they experienced TAPS and complete quality of life questionnaires

    Measured: Every 21 days over 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The intervention used to reduced TAPS severity

    The intervention used to reduced TAPS severity including

    1. Analgesia - pain medication diary
    2. Exercise
    3. other

    Measured: Every 21 days over 12 weeks

  2. The TAPS associated treatment modification

    The TAPS associated treatment modification

    1. Taxane dose reduction
    2. Chemotherapy treatment delay
    3. Taxane discontinuation
    4. No further treatment pursued ii. Or Switch to non-taxane chemotherapy due to taxane toxicity

    Measured: Every 21 days over 12 weeks

  3. Collection of whole blood and archived tissue for future SNP analysis

    Profiling of SNPs will aid to understand the genetic basis for TAPS and outcomes. We will also collect serum and plasma for profiling serum metabolites, drug metabolites and correlate with genotypes (SNPs)

    Measured: At baseline and at one month from the end of Taxane chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Pain, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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 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 6 Sep 2019. 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 Canada. 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?

The incidence of TAPS (time frame: Every 21 days over 12 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 6 Sep 2019.
