Effect of Weight on the Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose To determine the effect of weight on doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide plasma clearance in participants who are normal weight (body mass index [BMI] < 25 kg/m2, overweight or class I obese (BMI 25-34.9 kg/m2), or class II-III obese (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2). The hypothesis is that participants who weigh more will have higher doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide clearances than participants who weigh less. Restated, the area under the drug-concentration time profile, also known as the AUC, in participants will decrease as participant weight increases.

Brief Summary
To determine the effect of weight on doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide plasma clearance in
participants who are normal weight (body mass index [BMI] < 25 kg/m2, overweight or class I
obese (BMI 25-34.9 kg/m2), or class II-III obese (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2). The hypothesis is that
participants who weigh more will have higher doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide clearances
than participants who weigh less. Restated, the area under the drug-concentration time
profile, also known as the AUC, in participants will decrease as participant weight
increases.
Detailed Description
This single site study will be conducted at the UT Southwestern Simmons Cancer Center. This
study is designed to measure drug concentrations in the blood of 18 female breast cancer
patients who require doxorubicin (30 minute infusion) and cylcophosphamide (30 minute
infusion) as part of standard medical care. Up to a total of 40 adult female participants
will be consented for the study at the cancer center. Eighteen of these participants are
needed to complete the study. The others will likely be screen failures. The participants
will have no more than 100 ml of blood drawn via a peripheral intravenous catheter just
prior to the doxorubicin infusion, and then at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 12-24, and 24-72 h
after the beginning of the doxorubicin infusion. The 5 hour blood draw is optional. The
intravenous catheter will be removed when the participant is discharged from the cancer
center on day 1. The participant will be asked to return to the cancer center at 12-24 and
24-72 hours to have the final 2 blood draws conducted.

The participants must be treated with Doxurubicin and Cyclophosphamide in order to
participate in this pharmacokinetic analysis study.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Females, age 18 years of age or older, of all racial and ethnic origins that are
scheduled to receive the first cycle of a single intravenous dose of doxorubicin (30
minute infusion) and cylcophosphamide (30 minute infusion) as part of standard
medical care for breast cancer. English and/or Spanish speaking participants are
eligible to participate.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Pregnant or nursing or unwilling to use a reliable contraception method during the
study. The effects of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide on pregnancy are unknown. In
addition, the metabolic changes that accompany pregnancy may alter the
concentration-time profile of doxorubicin or cyclophosphamide, so that the pregnancy
and post-partum state would be a confounding variable.

- Participants unwilling to comply with study procedures.

- CrCl < 10 ml/min

- Participants requiring peritoneal or hemodialysis

- Serum bilirubin > 1.19 mg/dL

- Receipt of the following drugs that: a) Alter doxorubicin concentrations:
carbamazepine, cyclosporine, fosphenytoin, paclitaxel, phenytoin, sorafenib,
valspodar, verapamil; b) Alter cyclophosphamide concentrations: cyclosporine,
nevirapine, ondansetron; c) All other drugs will be reviewed during screening of the
patient
