HERCEPTIN
Oncology Breast Cancer 25-30% of breast and ovarian tumors overexpress HER2 Overexpression is correlated with prognosis Patients positive for HER2 can be treated with Herceptin Herceptin is a monoclonal antibody against the HER2 receptor Improved survival
Examples pharmacodynamics Breast Cancer abnormally high amounts of HER2 protein in 30% of patients Herceptin binds to HER2 slowing tumour growth, 70% of patients do not respond
HER-2 Protein and Herceptin Herceptin (trastuzumab): Metastatic breast cancer Targets tumor cells that over-express the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein Best response attained in women who over-express the HER2 protein HER-2 over-expression in breast cancer cells should be done before patients receive the drug
Herceptin: Prescribing Information HERCEPTIN (Trastuzumab) as a single agent is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress the HER2 protein and who have received one or more chemotherapy regimens for their metastatic disease. HERCEPTIN should be used in patients whose tumors have been evaluated with an assay validated to predict HER2 protein overexpression
Pharmacogenetics = molecular DD Case Study: Herceptin Bimodal response: 2/3 of patients: addition of Herceptin to chemorx no benefit 1/3 of patients: addition of Herceptin to chemorx 50% survival time increased by factor 1.5 (20 29 weeks) High HER2 Low HER2

Tamoxifen Pro-drug widely used treatment in breast cancer patients inhibits estrogen from binding to its receptor, thus inhibiting estrogen-regulated genes (growth factors and angiogenic factors) metabolized by cytochrome P450s into N- desmethyltamoxifen (NDM), 4- hydroxytamoxifen (4-OH tamoxifen) and endoxifen efficacy of tamoxifen therapy among women is heterogeneous due to genetic variants of CYP2D6
On October 18 (2006), a presantation of the study related to Tamoxifen by Dr. Goetz to the FDA led to an advisory committee unanimously recommending a label chance for tamoxifen. This change would include information about the incresaded risk both from genetic factors and drug interactions affecting CYP2D6. The majority of the committee also recommended that CYP2D6 genotype testing as an option for women before they are prescribed tamoxifen.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) & Tamoxifen antidepressants that are often prescribed to treat hot flashes in women who take tamoxifen paroxetine, sertraline, citalopram, fluoxetine and venlafaxine inhibition of CYP2D6 by SSRIs likely to affect metabolism of tamoxifen use of SSRIs associated with a reduced mean plasma concentration of endoxifen (lower response to tamoxifen therapy)
Results with inhibitor without inhibitor Jin et al., 2005
Objectives examine association between genotype (CYP2D6) and plasma concentrations of tamoxifen and its metabolites examine effect of CYP2D6 inhibitors on plasma concentrations of endoxifen examine SSRIs and their association with plasma concentrations of endoxifen
Mary 55 years PHARMACOGENETICS Drug gene interactions Tamoxifen+CYP2D6 Carol 55 years CYP2D6 PM CYP2D6*4/*4 CYP2D6 EM OK CYP2D6*1/*1!!! Noeffects, risk of disease relapse Improved benefit from tamoxifen
Conclusion & Significance higher plasma endoxifen concentration than 4- OH tamoxifen may mean it has a more important role efficacy of tamoxifen therapy among women is heterogeneous due to genetic variants of CYP2D6 use of SSRIs associated with a reduced mean plasma concentration of endoxifen (lower response to tamoxifen therapy)

Conclusions UGT1A1 genotype (UGT1A1*28)and total bilirubin levels are strongly associated with severe diarrhea & neutropenia. UGT 1A1*28 is a variant allele» Variation in the TA repeats in the promoter region Normal allele: 6 TA repeats (6/6) Variant allele: 7 TA repeats (7/7) UGT 1A1*28 is associated with reduced gene expression and reduced glucuronidation in human liver microsomes. Grade 4 neutropenia is more common (p=0.001) in patients with 7/7 genotype patients A strong correlation between genotype and diarrhea (P=0.01)
Utility of UGT1A1 Polymorphism in the Use of Irinotecan Excluding 7/7 patients from standard dose of irinotecan treatment will reduce the overall incidence of grade 4 neutropenia from 10.1% to 5.7%. 7/7 genotype patients may get a alternate irinotecan regimen? Genotypic testing combined with bilirubin levels will allow better patient selection for Irinotecan therapy. Physicians will be better informed about use of Irinotecan as a single agent or in combination therapy. Genotypic testing will allow 7/7 genotype patients with a choice for equally efficacious alternate therapy.
6-Mercaptopurine (6MP) and Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) ALL is a life-threatening disease and 6MP can cause life-threatening toxicities Dose titration (dosing size, duration and intensity) is major determinant of long-term EFS and myelosuppressive effects 6MP is metabolized to pharmacologically active thiopurine nucleotides by thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) TPMT activity shows trimodal variation in the general population
TPMT Genetic Polymorphism Well-documented, causal link between TPMT polymorphism and clinical effects, including toxicity Genotypes with reduced (10% of the population) or no (0.3% of the population) activity are at a substantially increased risk of myelosuppression and secondary cancer Pharmacogenetic tests are available and feasible to use for identifying these patients and guide optimal dosing
