NCT03465202

Brief Summary

This is a multi-centre prospective non-interventional study designed to evaluate the effects of patient age on the pharmacokinetics of capecitabine and its metabolites 5'DFCR, 5'DFUR, and 5-FU. In addition, the study will assess the correlation between the pharmacokinetic parameters calculated and cytidine deaminase, biomarkers of aging, clinical frailty, treatment outcome, and toxicity. To be enrolled, patients must have breast or colorectal cancer and be eligible to receive capecitabine monotherapy in accordance with its approved clinical usage in the UK. Treatment will be administered according to NICE guidelines as well as the clinical judgement of the prescribing physician. One hundred patients (50 breast cancer patients, 50 colorectal cancer patients) who are about to start treatment with capecitabine monotherapy will be recruited to the study and undergo study procedures within the first week of treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Area under the curve (AUC) of capecitabine and metabolites

    Measurement of AUC of capecitabine and its metabolites 5'deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (5'DFCR), 5'deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'DFUR), and 5-fluorouracil.

    0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours post dose

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Toxicities and grades as scaled by Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) version 4.03

    Six months

  • Progression free survival as measured by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.1

    From time of enrollment until first documented progression

  • Response as measured by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.1

    From time of enrollment to first documented response

  • Grip strength measured in kg

    During 6-hour pharmacokinetic study session

  • Frailty as measured by the Edmonton Frail Scale

    During 6-hour pharmacokinetic study session

  • +5 more secondary outcomes
