简要总结
Pediatric cancer patients are being asked to take part in this study who have a cancer that is treated with high doses of the drug methotrexate (MTX). In addition, these patients have either had significant side effects to methotrexate in the past or their doctor thinks that they are at high risk for side effects from receiving methotrexate. Methotrexate is a cancer-fighting drug that is very important in the treatment of leukemia.
In this study, investigators are testing a new method of giving high dose methotrexate to cancer patients which may reduce the chances that the level of methotrexate in the blood is too high. When the levels are too high this is thought to lead to an increase in side effects. Side effects are unintended and unwanted results of treatment.
The initial ordered amount of methotrexate and the period over which methotrexate is given will not change from the current standard of care (meaning what is usually done by doctors, and would likely be done if the patient was not on this study). This study is testing a new method of monitoring and potentially adjusting the final amount of methotrexate that the patient will end up receiving based on levels of methotrexate in the blood in the first 24 hours in order to try to prevent side effects in patients with a previous history of side effects from methotrexate or who are at high risk for having side effects.
On this study the investigators will check methotrexate levels in the blood 2 hours after the patient starts receiving the drug and the investigators will lower the dose of methotrexate if needed. Investigators will do the same thing again 6-8 hours later.
Investigators will also collect an optional blood sample from the patient because the investigators want to study how genetic (DNA) differences are involved in how the body processes methotrexate.
详细描述
The study participant will receive the drug methotrexate as a patient in the hospital. High dose methotrexate will be given as a 24-hour infusion as part of the care determined to be necessary by their doctor. Infusion means the drug is given using a needle or tubing inserted into a vein (also called IV).
The standard of care in patients receiving high dose methotrexate is to give the entire dose of methotrexate, without adjustment, and to then check the concentration of methotrexate in the blood at the end of the infusion. Most patients will have a level of methotrexate in their blood which is good to treat cancer and keep side effects at a minimum. However, other patients have a level of methotrexate at the end of the 24-hour infusion which is very high and is thought to lead to an increase in side effects.
In this study, investigators are testing a method of giving methotrexate which may reduce the chances that the level of methotrexate in the blood at the end of the infusion is too high. This will be done by checking the methotrexate level in the blood at two times during the 24-hour infusion and reducing the dose of methotrexate being given if the levels are not thought to be in the correct range (the level is too high). Reducing the dose may result in the patient receiving a lower total dose of methotrexate than initially ordered. However, it may also result in a more preferred concentration of methotrexate in the blood at the end of the infusion.
It is possible that in the past the patient's doctor may have chosen to reduce the amount of methotrexate given because the patient had side effects. In this study, all patients will start out receiving the standard dose of methotrexate. Therefore, by participating in this study, the amount of methotrexate ordered at the start of the infusion may be higher than what the patient received previously.
Before and after the patient receives high dose methotrexate, the patient will receive IV fluids. In order to minimize side effects, methotrexate levels will also be closely monitored after the infusion and the patient will receive supportive medicines as needed. The patient will receive the drug Leucovorin (administered by mouth every 6 hours for minimum of 3 doses). The monitoring and supportive care that the patient will receive at the end of the methotrexate infusion, the amount of IV fluids, and the dose or duration of Leucovorin received will be done based on standard guidelines and are not part of this study.
