Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate whether glucarpidase rescue after high-dose methotrexate reduces delay to subsequent cycle of chemotherapy due to methotrexate toxicity;Secondary Objective: 1.To investigate whether glucarpidase rescue after high-dose methotrexate reduces the incidence, severity and duration of methotrexate associated adverse effects 2.To study the pharmacokinetics of methotrexate and 4-deoxy-4-amino-N10-methylpteroic acid (DAMPA) after glucarpidase administration 3.To evaluate any adverse effects associated with the use of glucarpidase 4.To investigate the economic impact of using glucarpidase versus standard rescue 5.To investigate the effect of glucarpidase on the quality of life of patients treated with high dose methotrexate 6.To assess the anti-glucarpidase antibody response ;Primary end point(s): Assessment of fitness to receive chemotherapy on day 15 of each cycle (fitness criteria described in section 8 of the protocol);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: day-7-0, day 1, day 2, day 8, Day 9, Day 15, day 22, day 23, day 29, day 30, day 36,

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Incidence of methotrexate-associated toxicity (CTCAE v3.0 grade =2) 2. Serum methotrexate and DAMPA concentrations 3. Anti-glucarpidase IgG antibody response and neutralisation of glucarpidase activity 4. Number of days required in hospital per cycle and total dose of folinic acid required per cycle 5.Quality of life assessment (QLQ-C30 version 3, FACT-G and PedsQL 3.0 cancer module acute version) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: day-7-0, day 1, day 2, day 8, Day 9, Day 15, day 22, day 23, day 29, day 30, day 36, Day 51, day 111, day 201
