Brief Summary  

We propose a study which will evaluate the pharmacokinetic and toxicity profile of Paclitaxel administered in a population of women from different groups stratified as per the body mass index (BMI). The study aims evaluate the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of Paclitaxel when administered as per the current practice at our institute.

 

Paclitaxel is selected for this study since both hematological and non-hematological toxicity of paclitaxel has been shown to correlate with parameters such as AUC, Cmax and duration of plasma concentrations exceeding 0.1 umol/L.(6)

 

Historically, elimination of paclitaxel from plasma was determined to be biphasic with linear pharmacokinetic behaviour. These early studies, however, used variable infusion schedules of the drug with 1-, 6-, and 24-h infusions, and were hampered by suboptimal analytical techniques. Currently with better techniques elimination of paclitaxel has been found to have a three-phase elimination curve and non-linear pharmacokinetic behavior, particularly with shorter infusions. Typical values reported for the α, β, and gamma (γ) half-lives are 0.19h (range0.01–0.40), 1.90h (range 0.50–2.80), and 20.70h (range 4.00–65.00), respectively.(7)

 

Paclitaxel exhibits non-linear pharmacokinetics in that it has a disproportionate increase in the maximal plasma concentration Cmax) and area under the concentration curve (AUC) as the dose increased, suggesting saturation of elimination at higher concentrations of paclitaxel. Several studies with paclitaxel given as a 6-h infusion have documented non linear pharmacokinetics with doses higher than 250mg/m2. While others believe that a lesser dose of 135mg/m2 is the critical threshold for non-linear kinetics. Similar findings were noted with 3-h infusion schedules.(8)

 

Paclitaxel is bound to proteins in plasma, tissues, and tubulins. Estimates of magnitude of protein binding reach as high as 98% with equilibrium dialysis and ultracentrifugation studies. Supporting extensive drug binding in vivo, total volumes of distribution have been reported as significantly larger than that of total body water ranging from 50L/m2  to over 650L/m2 depending on infusion arrangement.(8)
