About this study

The use of phytotherapies or specific food or dietary supplement (HFDS) is common among cancer patients. They can also be responsible of clinically relevant interaction with anti-cancer treatments. This study aims at assessing the proportion patients using HFDS which are likely to have an interaction with their anticancer treatments. The data is collected through a smartphone/tablet application. The aim of the study is to demonstrate that clinically significant herb-drug interaction with anticancer treatment could be avoid using these devices.

Read the detailed description

The use of herbal treatment, also called phytotherapies, or dietary supplements or specific food (herbs, food or dietary supplements HFDS) is very common and have been evaluated between 30 and 70%, depending on the population and the studies.However, few studies have been made to evaluate the risk of interaction with oncology treatment in real life. Some interaction are very well known by both patients and clinicians, like the inhibition of the cytochrome 3A4 by grapefruit or the induction of the CYP3A4 by Saint John's Wort. However, many other interactions have been demonstrated, like the inhibition of the CYP3A4 by goldenseal extracts (among many others) although this is frequently used phytotherapy, both over the counter or "prescribed" by herb specialists.

This study aims at demonstrating that a smartphone or tablet application could be used to prevent significant interaction between phytotherapy or food or dietary supplements with anticancer treatments.

The application is used to collect data prospectively that will be analysed for interaction retrospectively. The interactions between phytotherapy have been classified in 4 categories :

  • likely (clinically relevant data in the literature between the herb and the anticancer treatment either directly or through documented CYP interaction)
  • possible (animal model or in vitro data in favor of an interaction)
  • unlikely (clinical data or animal model or in vitro data in favor of no interaction)
  • unknown (no data available or data from that could not allow a conclusion due to its poor quality or an ambiguous conclusion) The investigators aim at measuring the proportion of "likely" herb-drug interaction (or dietary supplement or food) in a population of patients followed and treated for a cancer, either local or metastatic.

The investigators also aim at characterizing the population, quantifying the proportion of patients taking HFDS and, to measure the proportion of "possible" herb-drug interaction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of interaction between HFDS (herb food and dietary supplements) and anticancer drugs whith a level of evidence graded as "likely" (clinical evidence) in a cohort of cancer patient using at least 1 HFDS daily.

    Measure of the rate of patients having a consumption of at least 1 phytotherapy, aspecific food (which is a specific ingredient that is eaten daily, like daily consumption of grapefruit juice or green tea) or a dietary supplement and having a likely interaction (justified through a clinically proven cytochrome interaction or direct interaction) with their anticancer treatment. The interaction could be through an inhibition of a major CYP in the metabolism of the chemotherapy. Each potential interaction will be searched in the literature.

    Anticancer treatments include chemotherapy, targeted therapies, hormonotherapies, radiotherapy or surgery.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Rate of patients using HFDS

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Description of the population using HFDS (age, primory tumor, tumor stage : local or metastasis,

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Rate of interaction between HFDS and anticancer drugs whith a level of evidence graded as "possible" (clinical evidence) in a cohort of cancer patient using at least 1 HFDS daily.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, run by Paul Gougis at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Paul Gougis, MD ((0)1 42 17 85 33 ext. +33, paul.gougis@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of interaction between HFDS (herb food and dietary supplements) and anticancer drugs whith a level of evidence graded as "likely" (clinical evidence) in a cohort of cancer patient using at least 1 HFDS daily. (time frame: 1 day). 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 2019.
