An Open-label Randomized Clinical Trial to Compare the Toxicities and Efficacy of Pharmacokinetically-guided and BSA Fixed Dosing Strategy of Docetaxel and Paclitaxel in Chinese Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, and Breast Cancer Patients.

Detailed Summary

As cytotoxic agents, DTX and PTX have a narrow therapeutic window. BSA dosing leads to great inter-individual PK variability, which is a major contributor for severe toxicity, especially in East-Asian populations. DTX exposures measured by area under plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), PTX exposures measured by the time above a plasma concentration of 0.05 µmol/L (TC\>0.05), are the most biologic effects associated PK parameters for DTX and PTX, respectively, which could positively predict related toxicities such as neutropenia, peripheral neuropathy, etc. So, we conducted a randomized clinical trial to compare the effect on related toxicities and efficacy of PK-guided dosing strategy and BSA dosing strategy.
