The Individualized Treatment of 6-mercaptopurine in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in China

Phase 2
Conditions
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Pediatric
Interventions
Procedure: Standard treatment
Procedure: Individualized treatment
Registration Number
NCT04228393
Lead Sponsor
Wei Zhao
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of individualized treatment of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) in Chinese children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and to investigate the dose-concentration-response (DER) relationship between thiopurine metabolites and adverse events. The individualized administration of 6-MP was established in Chinese children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Detailed Description

To inflict minimal pain on the child contributing blood samples, opportunistic sampling design was chosen to collect pharmacokinetic samples.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
leukopenia6 weeks

Leukopenia was graded by common toxicity criteria as follows: Grade 3, 1.0-2.0 × 109/L, and Grade 4, \< 1.0 × 109/L.

thiopurine-induced leukopenia6-weeks

Resolution of leukopenia was determined after 6-MP dose reduction or discontinuation, both in the absence of other apparent causes for the leukopenia or its disappearance.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
hepatotoxicity6 weeks

Hepatotoxicity was defined as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT) levels 2-fold above the upper limit without cytolysis.

6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN) concentrations in erythrocytes.3 months

Peripheral blood samples were obtained from steady-state plasma concentrates by opportunistic sampling design.

6-methylmercaptopurine nucleotides (6-MMPN) concentrations in erythrocytes.3 months

Peripheral blood samples were obtained from steady-state plasma concentrates by opportunistic sampling design.
