Brief summary

This laboratory study is looking at the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin in young patients with cancer. Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about how patients respond to treatment with certain chemotherapy drugs.

Detailed description

OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin hydrochloride in pediatric patients with malignancy. Secondary * Evaluate the relationship between body composition (percent body fat) and the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin hydrochloride in these patients. * Correlate the pharmacokinetics of daunorubicin hydrochloride with gender, age, or ethnic background in these patients. * Explore, in a preliminary fashion, possible relationships between pharmacokinetic results and toxicity. * Explore, in a preliminary fashion, possible relationships between pharmacokinetic results and renal and hepatic function and complete blood count. * Explore, in a preliminary fashion, possible genetic polymorphisms that may influence daunorubicin hydrochloride disposition. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients undergo blood collection prior to, periodically during, and after treatment with daunorubicin hydrochloride for pharmacokinetic analysis. Patients also undergo body composition testing within 7 days before or after the administration of daunorubicin hydrochloride using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study.

Pharmacokinetics of Daunorubicin Chemotherapy Patients
Patients receiving a chemotherapy regimen including daunorubicin hydrochloride administered as an infusion of any duration \< 24 hours on a 1 or a 2 day schedule. Pre-study evaluations no greater than 14 days prior to daunomycin administration. If patients have had significant intercurrent illness or treatment that might affect organ function, laboratory work should be performed at an appropriately closer interval to daunomycin administration. A complete history and physical examination including height, weight and body surface area. Patients should be weighed with only light clothing; shoes must be removed before weight is measured. Patients height should be measured using a stadiometer after removing shoes. Laboratory evaluation: a) CBC with differential and platelet count. b) ALT, AST, bilirubin, creatinine, total protein, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, GGT.
