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.

This single site study will be conducted at the UT Southwestern Simmons Cancer Center. This
study is designed to measure drug concentrations in the blood of 18 female breast cancer
patients who require doxorubicin (30 minute infusion) and cylcophosphamide (30 minute
infusion) as part of standard medical care. Up to a total of 40 adult female participants
will be consented for the study at the cancer center. Eighteen of these participants are
needed to complete the study. The others will likely be screen failures. The participants
will have no more than 100 ml of blood drawn via a peripheral intravenous catheter just prior
to the doxorubicin infusion, and then at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 12-24, and 24-72 h after
the beginning of the doxorubicin infusion. The 5 hour blood draw is optional. The intravenous
catheter will be removed when the participant is discharged from the cancer center on day 1.
The participant will be asked to return to the cancer center at 12-24 and 24-72 hours to have
the final 2 blood draws conducted.

The participants must be treated with Doxurubicin and Cyclophosphamide in order to
participate in this pharmacokinetic analysis study.

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 < 10 ml/min

- Participants requiring peritoneal or hemodialysis

- Serum bilirubin > 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
