Detailed Description

– Busulfan is an alkylating antineoplastic agent used commonly during the conditioning regimen in patients undergoing Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). Due to the fact that this drug has a variable metabolism in different individuals, the investigators performed the plasmatic dosage of chemotherapy before starting the conditioning regimen (test dose) as a way to predict the best dose to them during the conditioning. Busulfan toxicities depends on the "Area Under Curve" and Concentration Steady State (CSS). – The investigators randomized in groups according to the route of drug administration: per oral and intravenously. Dose test will be performed before conditioning and othe pharmacokinetics (Pk) study will be made in the first day of conditioning. The test dose of P.O busulfan will be 1 mg/Kg/dose and 32 mg/m2 for I.V busulfan. The target dose of busulfan during the conditioning will depends on the Pk obtained during the test dose. In the first day of regimen, other samples will be analysed and the new AUC will be adjusted. We will have a control group who have never performed monitoring before (retrospective group) – Test Dose for oral busulfan will be performed with peripheral blood samples at the time: 0h (before taking busulfan), 30', 1h, 1,5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h and 6h. In the first day of conditioning other samples will be collected again in the same moments. – Test dose for I.V busulfan will be performed on time 0h, 30', 45', 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h and 8h after receiving I.V busulfan. If the patients will receive I.V busulfan during conditioning, the blood samples should be collected on time 0h, 30', 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7h and 8h after taking busulfan. The blood samples will be centrifuged (4º C/ 3200 rpm/10 minutes) and analysed. – Patients will be monitored with pharmacokinetic's drug and clinical outcomes. The investigators will evaluate acute and chronic toxicities after Stem Cell Transplantation.

Interventions

  • Other: Analyze the pharmacokinetics of busulfan for transplantation
    • Evaluate the Bu pharmacokinetics (PK) when the drug will be received by P.O or I.V and we will establish the target “Area Under Curve- AUC” based on a single daily dose (test dose) before HSCT. The test dose of orally Bu is 1 mg/Kg and the blood samples are collected and processed in time: 0h, 30 min, 1h, 1,5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h and 6h after drug intake. After extraction of the plasma samples busulfan, quantitative analyzes of busulfan on human plasma will be performed by the liquid chromatograph. For the patients that will receive intravenously busulfan, the test dose is 32 mg/m2 and blood samples are collected in time: 0h, 30′, 45′, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h and 8h after drug intake. The dose during the conditioning will depend on the test dose and the AUC target.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Other: Orally Busulfan PK
    • Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of orally busulfan
  • Other: Intravenously Busulfan PK
    • Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of intravenously busulfan

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures
