Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma

Brief summary

High-dose methotrexate (MTX) is the main componement of first line treatment in primary central nervous system lymphoma. Renal toxicity is the main dose limiting toxicity because of major MTX elimination by the kidneys. MTX crystallizes in renal tubules, leading to a renal failure (RF) and further delaying its elimination. When RF occurs, MTX accumulates, prolonging the duration of treatment exposure. MTX prolonging exposure can cause life-threatening complications and delay further treatments in the patient. Preventive measures have been developped, such as alkaline fluid hyperhydration and folic acid administration, to try to reduce the risk of these adverse events. In suspected severe RF in link to MTX is suspected, glucarpidase can be administared. However, this is an expensive treatment and not all patients recover normal renal function despite its use. MTX is an essential treatment for the management of PCNSL which is currently a curable disease especially in patients who are able to receive a consolidation treatment as thiotepa-based intensive consolidation followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (IC-ASCT). IC-ASCT requires a normal renal function, which could be impaired by severe RF secondary to MTX. The purpose of the study is to investigate how early dosing MTX could be used to simulate late concentrations. Early monitoring of MTX elimination could be implemented to identify patients at risk of delayed elimination and thus introduce rapid mesures as early administration of glucarpidase.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Accuracy measurement of Bayesian model48 hours post MTXDetermine, in patients with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNL), the most efficient Bayesian model for predicting the delay in MTX elimination using a pharmacometry approach (in silico modeling based on a population approach) based on the early dosage of methotrexate in plasma.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Determine the Bayesian model for predicting renal toxicity of MTX T48H using a pharmacometric approach (in silico modeling) based on early dosing of methotrexate in plasma48 hours post MTXRenal toxicity shall be defined as acute renal failure graded according to CTCAE V5 in relation to the value of serum creatinine before administration of MTX.
Determine the bayesian model for predicting MTX clearance 72 hours after MTX using a pharmacometric approach (in silico modeling) based on early dosing of methotrexate in plasma72 hours post MTXDelay in elimination will be defined by a methotrexate dosage 72 hours after administration (T72H) beyond 0.2 μmol/L.

Estimate in an exploratory approach the performance of the Bayesian model for predicting overexposure to MTX at 48 hours using a pharmacometric approach (in silico modeling)48 hours post MTXCorrelation between, early dosage of methotrexate in plasma and other parameters of interest measured at baseline (before MTX administration) such as patient age, albumin and creatinine clearance. Overexposure to MTX is defined by a measured T48H \> 10 μmol/L.
