New dosing method for Kids' cancer drug aims to reduce side effects
NCT ID NCT05359237
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a new method for giving the cancer drug vincristine to infants and young children. The goal is to see if this new way of calculating the dose leads to similar drug levels in the blood as the standard method used in older children. About 83 children up to 12 years old are taking part. Researchers will collect blood samples to compare how the drug is processed in different age groups.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must be =\< 12 years of age at the time of study enrollment. Patients will be stratified into 4 age groups: * 0 to 6 months * 6 months and 1 day to 12 months * 12 months and 1 day to 36 months * 36 months and 1 day to 12 years with a BSA ≥ 0.6 m\^2 * Newly diagnosed and relapsed cancer diagnosis that is being treated with vinCRIStine at the 1.5 mg/m\^2 dose level * Any disease status * Patients must have a Lansky performance status of 50 or higher * Patients must be receiving a treatment regimen that includes 1.5 mg/m\^2 vinCRIStine (maximum dose 2 mg) * Patients with a BSA \< 0.6 m\^2 must be dosed according to the Children's Oncology Group (COG) BSA-banded infant dosing table for the 1.5mg/m2 dose level for vinCRIStine * Note: Patients can be studied after any dose of vinCRIStine * Patients who are NOT enrolled on a COG clinical trial and who have a BSA \< 0.6 m\^2 and who are being dosed according to another infant dosing method (e.g., the 30-Rule) can receive a dose of vinCRIStine from the infant dosing table for the pharmacokinetic study. These patients will NOT be part of the Dose Modification Assessment * Patients with a seizure disorder may be enrolled if on allowable anticonvulsants and well controlled as evidenced by no increase in seizure frequency in the prior 7 days * Nervous system toxicities (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\]) version (v)5 resulting from prior therapy must be grade =\< 2 * Central venous access device in place (e.g., percutaneous indwelling central catheter \[PICC\], port, Broviac) or scheduled to be placed prior to the dose of vinCRIStine and that can be used for pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling * VinCRIStine may be given as an outpatient, as long as all sample time points can be collected, which will require return for hour 24 sampling Exclusion Criteria: * Azoles antifungals and macrolide antibiotics: Patients who are currently receiving an azole or macrolide (e.g., fluconazole, isavuconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, ketoconazole, eryromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin, roxithromycin, or telithromycin) are not eligible * CYP3A4/5 inducers/inhibitors: Patients receiving any medications or substances that are considered moderate or strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4/5 are not eligible. Moderate or strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4/5 should be avoided from 14 days prior to enrollment to the end of the study. * Note the following are allowed: * Dexamethasone for CNS tumors or metastases, on a stable dose * Aprepitant for management of nausea and vomiting * Anticonvulsants: Patients receiving moderate or strong CYP3A4/5 enzyme inducing anticonvulsants are not eligible. * Patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease * A baseline neurological disorder with manifestations that overlap with vinCRIStine-associated neurotoxicities * Patients being treated on a Children Oncology Group (COG) clinical trial, that does not use the infant dosing tables for vinCRIStine are not eligible for this study. * Patients receiving a modified dose (\< 1.5 mg/m\^2) of vinCRIStine due to prior toxicity * Patients who in the opinion of the investigator may not be able to comply with the sampling requirements of the study
