Phase IBiomarker/Laboratory analysis, TreatmentActive18 and overNCIUMN-2008NTLS060
2008NTLS060, 0806M34981, NCT00895414

Objectives

Primary

  1. To determine if doxorubicin hydrochloride exposure is increased or decreased with concurrent treatment with doxorubicin hydrochloride and enalapril maleate in women with breast cancer.

Secondary

  1. To evaluate the baseline and serial changes in the levels of b-type natriuretic peptide, cardiac troponins, and urine microalbumin after infusion with doxorubicin hydrochloride.
  2. To evaluate the effect of enalapril maleate on the formation of the doxorubicin hydrochloride metabolite, doxorubicinol.
  3. To evaluate the effect of doxorubicin hydrochloride on intracellular leukocytes and platelets, in the presence and absence of enalapril maleate.

Entry Criteria

  • Tissue diagnosis of a breast carcinoma
  • Planning adjuvant doxorubicin hydrochloride every 2 weeks as part of a chemotherapy regimen

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • More than 1 week since prior and no concurrent herbal supplements
  • No concurrent P450 cytochrome inducers or inhibitors
  • No concurrent grapefruit juice
  • No concurrent angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker

Patient Characteristics:

  • Total bilirubin normal
  • AST and ALT normal
  • Creatinine clearance > 60 mL/min
  • Not pregnant or nursing

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Increase or decrease in doxorubicin hydrochloride exposure

Secondary Outcome(s)

Baseline and serial change in b-type natriuretic peptide, cardiac troponins, and urine microalbumin after infusion with doxorubicin hydrochloride
Effect of enalapril maleate on the formation of the doxorubicin hydrochloride metabolite, doxorubicinol
Effect of doxorubicin hydrochloride on intracellular leukocytes and platelets, in the presence and absence of enalapril maleate

Outline

Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 5-10 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 14 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 1 week before course 2, patients also receive oral enalapril maleate once daily until day 8 of course 2.
  • Arm II: Patients receive doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 5-10 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 14 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 1 week before course 1, patients receive oral enalapril maleate once daily until day 8 of course 1.

Blood and urine samples are collected periodically for pharmacokinetic studies by HPLC with fluorescence detection.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
