About this study

Official title: Exploratory Study to Evaluate the Effect and Safety of the Use of Ocoxin Oral Solution on the Quality of Life of Paediatric Patients With Advanced Stage Solid Tumours

Exploratory study to evaluate the effect and safety of the use of Ocoxin® oral solution on the quality of life of paediatric patients with advanced stage solid tumours.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, open-label, single-centre, exploratory study in paediatric patients with advanced stage solid tumours receiving oncospecific therapy.

Ocoxin®: The research product, registered as a nutritional supplement (Ocoxin®, oral solution), manufactured by Catalysis S.L. of Spain. It comes in the form of 30 ml single-dose vials.

Forty paediatric patients will be included, distributed as follows: Hodgkin's lymphoma (10), Central Nervous System tumours (10), Sarcoma of any type (10) or Germinal Tumours (10).

Patients will receive one vial of Ocoxin® daily from the start of oncospecific therapy until two weeks after the end of therapy.

Prior to the start of treatment and before each cycle of QT, a haemogram and haemochemistry including albumin, total proteins, transaminases (TGO, TGP) will be performed. Physical examinations will be performed, and the patient's vital signs and body weight will be evaluated.

Prior to the start of treatment, in month three and four weeks after the end of oncospecific therapy, a CT scan will be performed (depending on the type of tumour, the system for evaluating the efficacy of the oncospecific treatment will be adapted).

Quality of life will be assessed using the paediatric quality of life questionnaire (PedsQLTm, version 4.0. Spanish). The questionnaire will be administered to the parent or guardian prior to the start of treatment, at month 3 and at the end of treatment with Ocoxin®. In the case of longer treatment regimens, intermediate quality of life measurements may be taken after the three months and before the end of treatment.

The influence of Ocoxin® Oral solution on the prevention of admissions due to toxicity attributable to cancer-specific therapy and changes in the patient's nutritional status will also be assessed.

Safety will be assessed by collecting adverse events (AEs), analytical parameters, physical examinations and vital signs.

Effect and safety variables will be summarised using descriptive statistics and frequency counts.

What participants receive

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

  • Ocoxin Oral solutionDietary supplement

    Patients will receive one vial of Ocoxin® orally daily, preferably at the same time each day. The duration of treatment will depend on the chemotherapy schedule the patient will receive. Treatment with Ocoxin® will be from the start of oncospecific therapy until two weeks after the end of therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of Life

    Qualitative and quantitative data collection. To assess the effect of Ocoxin® on the quality of life of paediatric patients with advanced solid tumours by the Paediatric Quality of Life Questionnaire (PedsQLTm, version 4.0. Spanish). The questionnaire will be administered to the parent or guardian prior to the start of treatment, at month 3 and at the end of treatment with Ocoxin®. In the case of longer treatment regimens, intermediate quality of life measurements may be taken after the three-month treatment and before the end of treatment.

    Measured: 7 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Degree of toxicity related to oncospecific treatment

    Qualitative and quantitative data collection. To evaluate the influence of Ocoxin® in the prevention of admissions due to toxicity to cancer-specific therapy (NCI-CTC scales). Admissions for toxicity. Information related to the need for admissions for mucositis (World Health Organization mucositis grade) or other causes shall be collected at each assessment during treatment and at the final assessment.

    Measured: 7 months

  2. Nutritional Status

    Qualitative and quantitative data collection. Changes in nutritional status. This will be assessed through body mass index (BMI) behavior at baseline, intermediate assessments, and final assessments.

    Measured: 7 months

  3. Presence of Adverse Events (AE)

    Qualitative and quantitative data collection. Product and non-product related adverse events described and classified as follows:

    Occurrence of any AE: yes/no Type: described according to the CTC nomenclature version 5.0 Duration: To be assessed by the start and end dates of the adverse event Intensity: To be assessed by the categories mild, moderate, severe, serious life-threatening or disabling, or serious life-threatening.

    Causality: assessed as highly probable/certain, probable, possible, possible, unlikely, unrelated, and not assessable/unclassifiable Severity: yes/no. In case of yes, it will be classified according to the categories of: causes death of the patient, threatens life, requires hospitalisation or prolongs an existing hospitalisation, causes disability, significant or persistent disability, causes a birth defect or congenital anomaly.

    Outcome: To be assessed according to the categories of recovered, improved, persists or sequelae.

    Measured: 7 months

  4. Metabolic Status

    Qualitative and quantitative data collection. The metabolic status of patients will be assessed by laboratory tests. The tests described in the evaluations will be performed according to the study schedule (haemogram, albumin, total proteins, TGP, TGO). They will be classified as normal, non-clinically significant abnormal and clinically significant abnormal. Clinically significant abnormal findings in laboratory parameters will be reported as AE.

    Measured: 7 months

  5. Physical Status

    Qualitative data collection. The physical status of patients shall be assessed by physical examination. The patient will be examined prior to study initiation, at on-treatment assessments, and at the end-of-treatment assessment. Any positive findings of clinical relevance on physical examination will be considered as an adverse event and will be described and classified as defined in the protocol for this type of event.

    Measured: 7 months

  6. Response to oncospecific treatment

    Qualitative data collection (the evaluation method used will also include RECIST criteria, iRECIST criteria, Cheeson criteria or other, in which case the method will be specified). Objective response to oncospecific treatment will be assessed by characterising the type of response after clinical evaluation of the patient at the end of the chemotherapy regimen. This will be classified as complete response, partial response, disease stabilisation or progression, following the response criteria established for each treatment protocol according to the underlying disease treated.

    Measured: 7 months
