Trial summary

Everolimus shows a large interpatient variability with fixed dose administration. These very different exposure levels between individuals can result in supratherapeutic or subtherapeutic exposure levels and consequently in over- or undertreatment, respectively. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Dried Blood SPOT Analysis of Everolimus in Cancer Patients

Everolimus shows a large interpatient variability with fixed dose administration. These very different exposure levels between individuals can result in supratherapeutic or subtherapeutic exposure levels and consequently in over- or undertreatment, respectively. Dose individualization based on the measured drug concentration could theoretically result in less toxicity and more efficacy.

Nowadays everolimus exposure is determined by everolimus concentration in whole blood. Therefore, a vena puncture is always necessary. This is invasive and requires patients to come to the hospital. It would be convenient for patients to have their everolimus blood concentration determined by dried blood spot (DBS) analysis. With DBS only a single drop of blood from the finger is necessary, which can be done at home and sent by regular mail for analysis. Previous studies have shown the feasibility of this approach. In patients with cancer treated with everolimus 10mg once daily, the correlation between everolimus DBS concentrations and whole blood concentration is yet unknown. Therefore, the investigators want to determine the everolimus concentration collected with DBS from a finger prick with everolimus concentration from whole blood and everolimus concentration collected with DBS from whole blood.

In addition, possibly a relatively high everolimus concentration in saliva could be correlated with the incidence and severity of oral mucositis. Determination of drug concentration in saliva has also been proven to be feasible before.

Therefore, in this study the investigators want to determine whether the everolimus concentration in saliva correlates with the incidence of oral mucositis and how everolimus concentration in saliva correlates with everolimus concentration in whole blood.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation everolimus concentration DBS with whole blood

    Correlation between trough everolimus concentration from DBS analysis collected with finger prick with trough everolimus concentration in whole blood, measured at any time during everolimus treatment

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation everolimus concentration whole blood with saliva

    Correlation between trough everolimus concentration from whole blood with trough everolimus concentration in saliva, measured at any time during everolimus treatment

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site 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 4 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 16 Oct 2017. 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 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?

Correlation everolimus concentration DBS with whole blood (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 16 Oct 2017.
