Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients prescribed 5-FU/Capecitabine as part of their standard of care treatment will provide an additional 2 blood samples and a single dried blood spot for therapeutic drug monitoring.

Samples will be collected by either doctor, research nurse or pathology collector. The first sample is collected at the patient's screening visit with other routine blood samples. The second sample will be collected additionally during the patient's treatment and will require 10 minutes for collection.

Levels of drug will be provided back to clinician and dose of 5-FU/Capecitabine may change based on individual clinicians clinical judgement.

The level of drug in blood sample will be correlated with level of drug in dried blood spot for feasibility of using dried blood spot and/or whole blood samples for ongoing therapeutic drug monitoring of 5-FU/Capecitabine.

The change (is applicable) and outcome will be collected.

Pharmacokinetics
Statistical methods / analysis
This is a non-interventional non-comparative clinical study. Demographic and clinical data will require simple statistical comparison of the 5-FU pk parameters (AUC) and toxicity. Univariate and multivariate analysis using logistic regression to identify potential predictive factors for toxicity (age, gender, ECOG PS, creatinine, other standard blood parameters, 5-FU dose, and 5-FU pk, uracil and DPD parameters) will be undertaken

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible for blood samples to be used to monitor whether the correct dose of cancer medicines are being provided to patients.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who is receiving Fluorouracil (5-FU) or Capecitabine for the treatment of cancer.

Study details
All participants in this study will need to provide two blood samples and one dried blood spot sample at two visits with a pathologist. Any results from these samples will then be provided to your oncologist.

It is hoped that this research will help determine if it is possible to monitor the dose of medication needed per individual using blood samples.
