Pemetrexed in Maintenance in Patients With Impaired Renal Function, 2 Dose Calculation Strategies

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03607149
Lead Sponsor
Centre Georges Francois Leclerc
Brief Summary

Pemetrexed is used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Its elimination is mainly renal and its nephrotoxicity requires an interruption of treatment when the CrCLCG falls below 45 mL / min. Patients with NSCLC frequently have impaired renal function by other cytotoxic drugs.

The dose adjustment of pemetrexed is performed as a function of body surface area (SC) without any pharmacokinetic rational. The challenge is to treat patients with renal insufficiency (RR) with a safe dose, based on CRCL, providing equivalent biological exposure to patients with preserved renal function.

Detailed Description

* Primary objective: Evaluate the impact of calculating the dose of pemetrexed to be administered versus creatine clearance according to Cockcroft-Gault (CrCLCG) versus body surface area (SC) on median time before discontinuation of treatment for renal function ≤ 45mL / min in patients treated for non-small cell lung cancer predominantly non-squamous in maintenance.

* Secondary objective: To evaluate the impact of calculating the dose of pemetrexed to be administered versus CRCLCG versus SC over time to treatment discontinuation, progression-free survival (PFS), and patient overall survival.
