About this study

Docetaxel, Cisplatin, 5-Fluorouracile (=TPF) is a mainstay for treating head and neck cancers, but elderly or fragile patients are often precluded because of the risk of severe toxicities associated with this protocol. DPD (Dihydro Pyrimidine Dehydrogenase) deficiency is a pharmacogenetic syndrome responsible for most of the severe/lethal toxicities showing in 5-FU (5-Fluorouracile)-treated patients, and our institute has developed a strategy for the routine determination of Dihydro Pyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPD) status prior to starting giving the 5-FU so as to roughly adapt drug dosage according to the Dihydro Pyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPD) status. This project aims at developing a Bayesian strategy to further individualize 5-FU dosing to reach a target exposure of area under curve (AUC). To this end, 100 patients with head and neck cancer and scheduled for a Docetaxel, Cisplatin, 5-Fluorouracile (=TPF) regimen will be included.

Read the detailed description

Crop the plasma exposure of 5-FU (5-Fluorouracile) around a predefined target area under the curve 30 (AUC30) in patients with head and neck cancer treated with Docetaxel, Cisplatin, 5-Fluorouracile (=TPF) protocols and correlate adaptive Bayesian procedure to tolerability.

  • Develop a population die from a group of 20 patients for which a pharmacokinetic study will be carried out
  • Evaluate obtaining effective concentration of 5-FU in the context of a Docetaxel, Cisplatin, 5-Fluorouracile (=TPF) protocol adapted by the Bayesian procedure.
  • Compare recommendations in terms of dosage adjustment of Bayesian approach with the recommendations of a simplified graphical approach.
  • Test the measure of Dihydro Pyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPD) activity Dihydrouracil/Uracile (UH2 / U ratio) as a co-variable adjustment of 5-Fluorouracile (5-FU) regimens in Pharmacogenomics/Pharmacokinetic (PGx / PK) model.
  • Evaluate a prototype of urinary dipsticks for the early detection of toxicity from the assay as a marker of Dihydro Pyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPD) activity.
  • Assess the cost-benefit of dosage targeting, in terms of reduction resulting costs to the management of chemotherapy-induced toxicities.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of 5-FU (5-Fluorouracile)

    Concentration of 5-FU in nanograms per milliliter. Circulating 5-FU will be quantified by immunoassay.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Toxicities

    will be graded according to Common toxicity Criteria (CTC) 2.0 standards.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cisplatin, Docetaxel and 5-Fluorouracile in people with Patients With Head and Neck Cancer (ORL), run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 9 inclusion and 12 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 26 May 2023. 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 France. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

Determination of 5-FU (5-Fluorouracile) (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 May 2023.
