About this study

The goal of this observational study is to study the effect of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the CES1 gene (rs2244613) on capecitabine-induced toxicity in Egyptian cancer patients. This study will help in understanding the interindividual variability in the CES1 gene and the effect of a single nucleotide polymorphism in this gene (rs2244613) on capecitabine-induced toxicity in participants already taking capecitabine-based chemotherapy as part of their regular medical care.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Capecitabine-based chemotherapyDrug

    Participants receiving capecitabine in an oral dose of 1,000-1,250 mg/m2 twice daily for the first 14 days of each 21-day cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of gastrointestinal toxicity

    Occurrence and severity of capecitabine-induced gastrointestinal toxicity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE V5.0) in relation to the variation in patients' genotype of rs2244613 in the CES1 gene.

    Measured: Six months

  2. Occurrence of hand-foot syndrome

    Occurrence and severity of capecitabine-induced Hand-foot syndrome will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE V5.0) in relation to the variation in patients' genotype of rs2244613 in the CES1 gene.

    Measured: Six months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Occurrence of hematological toxicity

    Occurrence and severity of capecitabine-induced hematological toxicity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE V5.0) in relation to the variation in patients' genotype of rs2244613 in the CES1 gene.

    Measured: Six months

  2. Occurrence of hepatic toxicity

    Occurrence and severity of capecitabine-induced hyperbilirubinemia will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE V5.0) in relation to the variation in patients' genotype of rs2244613 in the CES1 gene.

    Measured: Six months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer and Breast Cancer, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2025. 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 Egypt. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Raghad Nassar, Teaching Assistant (01004446077 ext. 002, raghad.essam22@pharma.asu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Occurrence of gastrointestinal toxicity (time frame: Six 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 9 Jan 2025.
