Brief Summary

The primary objective of this pharmacokinetics study is to compare the maximum concentration level of paclitaxel in patients with low/sarcopenic skeletal muscle area (SMA), at the end of a 2-3 hour paclitaxel infusion, to the maximum level in patients with normal SMA at the end of a standard 1-hour infusion with the goal of determining whether lengthening the infusion in patients with low/sarcopenic SMA normalizes the levels to those of patients with normal SMA.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Planned paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2, 1-hour infusion * Evaluable computed tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) scan, or MRI scan (e.g. scan of the chest, abdomen, or pelvis for any indication w/in 1 year) * Female * ≥ 18 years old * Adequate organ function to receive paclitaxel treatment as defined in the protocol * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Concomitant administration of any moderate or strong inducer or inhibitor of CYP2C8, including rifampin or clopidogrel. * History of hypersensitivity reaction to paclitaxel or any components of paclitaxel (e.g., Cremophor EL) that precludes continued treatment with standard dose and infusion length * Pregnant or nursing * Receiving any other dose (i.e., not 80 mg/m2) or infusion rate (i.e., not 60 minute infusion) either due to toxicity during a previous cycle or any other reason
