Summary

To determine the effect of weight on doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide plasma clearance in participants who are normal weight (body mass index [BMI] < 25 kg/m2, overweight or class I obese (BMI 25-34.9 kg/m2), or class II-III obese (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2). The hypothesis is that participants who weigh more will have higher doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide clearances than participants who weigh less. Restated, the area under the drug-concentration time profile, also known as the AUC, in participants will decrease as participant weight increases.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Females, age 18 years of age or older, of all racial and ethnic origins that are scheduled to receive the first cycle of a single intravenous dose of doxorubicin (30 minute infusion) and cylcophosphamide (30 minute infusion) as part of standard medical care for breast cancer. English and/or Spanish speaking participants are eligible to participate.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Pregnant or nursing or unwilling to use a reliable contraception method during the study. The effects of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide on pregnancy are unknown. In addition, the metabolic changes that accompany pregnancy may alter the concentration-time profile of doxorubicin or cyclophosphamide, so that the pregnancy and post-partum state would be a confounding variable.
  • Participants unwilling to comply with study procedures.
  • CrCl 1.19 mg/dL
  • Receipt of the following drugs that: a) Alter doxorubicin concentrations: carbamazepine, cyclosporine, fosphenytoin, paclitaxel, phenytoin, sorafenib, valspodar, verapamil; b) Alter cyclophosphamide concentrations: cyclosporine, nevirapine, ondansetron; c) All other drugs will be reviewed during screening of the patient
