Scientific titleOral bioavailability of docetaxel in combination with cyclosporin A and activity of the combination in advance breast cancer: A randomised controlled trial
Study acronymN98ODO
Study objectives1. The systemic exposure of docetaxel after oral administration of docetaxel in combination with cyclosporin A (CsA) is on average at least 50% of the systemic exposure after intravenous administration of the same dose-equivalent.
2. The combination of a single oral dose of docetaxel and CsA is well tolerated by the patients.
3. Oral docetaxel without CsA results in a low systemic exposure (<5% of a dose normalized i.v. administration)
4. Weekly oral docetaxel + CsA at a dose equivalent of 30-35mg/m2 i.v. is active in advanced anthracycline pre-treated breast cancer
Ethics approval(s)The instiutional review board (Protocol Toetsingscommissie [PTC]), Dutch Cancer Institute, Antonie von Leeuwenhoek Hospital (NKI-AVL) approved on 4th of November 1998 (ref: EV98330)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCancer, advanced breast cancer
InterventionThe study consist of two parts.
1. Part I is Proof of concept study. It consist of two groups of patients:
1.1. Group I is treated in the course 1 with a single oral dose of docetaxel with CsA and 3 weeks later course 2 and all subsequent courses (6 max) consist of a single agent docetaxel i.v., 3 weekly schedule
1.2. Group II is treated in the course 1 with a single oral dose of docetaxel (no CsA) and 3 weeks later course 2 and all subsequent courses (6 max) consist of a single agent docetaxel i.v., 3 weekly schedule

2. Part II Anti-tumour activity is given weekly oral docetaxel with CsA, (q week 8) to patients with measurable disease according to WHO criteria, after 1 prior anthracycline containing pretretment regimen for advanced disease.

Safety Assessments are performed during the baseline, every course/weekly and at the end of the treatment - medical history, physical examination, performance status WHO, Hb, Wbc+diff, platelets, chemistry, chest X-ray, tumour evaluation.
PK analyses are determined on the first 2 occasions of drug administration
Efficacy is estimated during the tumour evaluation (CT, X-rays and US) during the baseline and every second course according to WHO criteria.
In amendment 2 the mass balance part of the study has been added. Three evaluable patients who are enrolled in the part II study were asked to collect their urine and faeces up to 48 hours which will be further analyzed for docetaxel and metabolites using validated analytical assays.
