Pharmacokinetics of Daunorubicin in Young Patients With Cancer

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Unspecified Childhood Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific
Registration Number
NCT00673257
Lead Sponsor
Children's Oncology Group
Brief Summary

This laboratory study is looking at the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin in young patients with cancer. Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about how patients respond to treatment with certain chemotherapy drugs.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin hydrochloride in pediatric patients with malignancy.

Secondary

* Evaluate the relationship between body composition (percent body fat) and the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin hydrochloride in these patients.

* Correlate the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin hydrochloride with gender, age, or ethnic background in these patients.

* Explore, in a preliminary fashion, possible relationships between pharmacokinetic results and toxicity.

* Explore, in a preliminary fashion, possible relationships between pharmacokinetic results and renal and hepatic function and complete blood count.

* Explore, in a preliminary fashion, possible genetic polymorphisms that may influence daunorubicin hydrochloride disposition.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo blood collection prior to, periodically during, and after treatment with daunorubicin hydrochloride for pharmacokinetic analysis.

Patients also undergo body composition testing within 7 days before or after the administration of daunorubicin hydrochloride using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Population Estimates for Daunorubicin Hydrochloride ClearancePrior to drug infusion, midpoint, and end of infusion. Also 0.5,1,1.5,2,3,4,6,8 and 12 hours after end of infusion.

Pharmacokinetic parameters of Daunorubicin hydrochloride will be analyzed, samples were drawn according to the following schedule: prior to the drug infusion, at the midpoint of the infusion if infusion is ≥ 30 min in duration, end of infusion and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 (when feasible) hours after the end of the infusion. Samples will also be collected at 24, 48, and 72 (when feasible) hours after the end of the infusion. The concentration time data will be analyzed by model dependent and model-independent means. Pharmacokinetic data will be analyzed using ADAPT II software (Biomedical Simulations Resource, University of Southern California). Mean Daunorubicin hydrochloride Clearance will be assessed.
