Official title
Validation of Capillary Microsampling for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) of CDK4/6 Inhibitors in Breast Cancer Patients
Overview
This is a prospective validation study, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study, evaluating the concordance between capillary microsampling (using the VAMS Mitra device) and venous sampling in patients undergoing CDK4/6 therapy.
Detailed description
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) could serve as a valuable tool to minimize adverse events and maximize the efficacy of treatment in breast cancer patients receiving CDK4/6 inhibitors (ribociclib, abemaciclib, palbociclib). However, current TDM performed via venous blood draws can be inconvenient, especially for repeated sampling.
This study aims to evaluate the reliability of capillary (fingertip) microsampling-which could be performed at home as a less invasive alternative to standard venous sampling for measuring residual drug concentrations.
Five blood samples will be collected at a single time point during treatment, in accordance with the routine TDM schedule (the treatment duration will remain as per the prescribed CDK4/6 regimen): 4 capillary samples (using the VAMS Mitra device) including 2 samples collected by the study nurse who will train the patient to perform the 2 following samples him/herself; and 1 venous sample (5 mL heparinized tube).
Interventions
- Other Capillary samples using the VAMS Mitra device
Five blood samples will be collected at a single time point during treatment, in accordance with the routine TDM schedule (the treatment duration will remain as per the prescribed CDK4/6 regimen). * 4 capillary samples (using the VAMS Mitra device) including 2 samples collected by the study nurse then 2 samples collected by the patient. * 1 venous sample (5 mL heparinized tube).
Primary outcome measures
- Measurement of the concordance between the drug concentrations obtained from capillary and venous sampling. [Time frame: Day 1]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Intra-patient's variability of the measurements from microsamplings [Time frame: Day 1]
- Acceptability of the device, as assessed by a patient satisfaction questionnaire. [Time frame: Day 1]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Adult patients (≥ 18 years) with breast cancer.
- Patients currently receiving ribociclib, abemaciclib, or palbociclib.
- Patients capable of performing capillary sampling (with or without assistance).
- Patient information and signing of informed consent.
- Patient ability to comply with protocol requirements.
- Patients covered by a health insurance system.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients with altered mental status or psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude a valid patient informed consent.
- Persons deprived of their liberty or under guardianship.
