Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Using the NONMEM software (version VI level 1.1, GloboMax LLC, Hanover, MD) a on-linear mixed-effect population pharmacokinetic model will be calculated [10]. In this model the concentration of free platina in plasma will be used as a measure of the plasma carboplatin concentration. Both interindividual (IIV) and interoccasion variability (IOV) will be modelled. At least three different models for the description of the relationship between carboplatin clearance, plasma creatinine and cystatine C will be tested: The hypothesis that there is not relationship between carboplatin clearance and the concentration of the kidney function paramers will be used as reference. This will be compared with models including plasma cystatine C or creatinine or both. The area-under-the-concentration-time-curve (AUC) as a measure of effective carboplatin exposure will be calculated from carboplatin clearance and dose. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Assessment of effective carboplatin exposure in current pediatric treatment protocols. - Relationship between effective carboplatin exposure and therapy-related complications, which will be assessed using the standard procedures of the individual treatment protocol (blood count, plasma creatinine and cystatin C, audiometry) - Relationship between effective carboplatin exposure and DNA-adducts as measure of carboplatin action on a cellular level. | — |
