What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether giving the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel over a longer period (2-3 hours instead of 1 hour) can help cancer patients with low muscle mass achieve safer drug levels. Researchers will compare drug concentrations in 22 women with breast, stomach, or esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if adjusting infusion time based on muscle mass normalizes exposure to the drug.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Paclitaxel (Taxol)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to safer and more effective dosing of paclitaxel for cancer patients with low muscle mass.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase pharmacokinetic study with only 22 participants. It focuses on drug levels, not direct treatment outcomes, so benefits for patients are uncertain.

Inclusion Criteria: * Planned paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2, 1-hour infusion * Evaluable computed tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) scan, or MRI scan (e.g. scan of the chest, abdomen, or pelvis for any indication w/in 1 year) * Female * ≥ 18 years old * Adequate organ function to receive paclitaxel treatment as defined in the protocol * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Concomitant administration of any moderate or strong inducer or inhibitor of CYP2C8, including rifampin or clopidogrel. * History of hypersensitivity reaction to paclitaxel or any components of paclitaxel (e.g., Cremophor EL) that precludes continued treatment with standard dose and infusion length * Pregnant or nursing * Receiving any other dose (i.e., not 80 mg/m2) or infusion rate (i.e., not 60 minute infusion) either due to toxicity during a previous cycle or any other reason
