Study Overview

Implementation and Quality Assurance of DPYD-genotyping in Patients Treated With Fluoropyrimidines.

The purpose of this study is to examine the benefits of a clinical implementation of a DPYD-genotype test to patients starting treatment with fluoropyrimidines (Fluorouracil (5-FU), capecitabine, tegafur).

Patients with specific genetic mutations in the DPYD-gene have lower activity of the dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) enzyme, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the metabolism of fluoropyrimidines. Fluoropyrimidines are commonly used as chemotherapeutic drugs and include 5-Fluorouracil, capecitabine, and tegafur. Patients with decreased DPD activity are at higher risk of serious adverse events when treated with standard doses of fluoropyrimidines This study will examine the clinical implementation of the pre-emptive DPYD-genotype test. The test will analyze four of the most common genetic mutations(SNPs) in the DPYD-gene that leads to significant decreased DPD-activity In patients with DPYD-variant mutations, the recommended starting dose is 50%. This dose reduction will possibly reduce the rate of serious adverse events. Patients who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for a DPYD-mutation will not be treated with fluoropyrimidines due to the high risk of fatal adverse effects. Aim To reduce the overall incidence of severe adverse reactions(grade >= 3) to chemotherapy regimens containing 5-FU, capecitabine, or S1 in an unselected population of colorectal, non-colorectal GI cancer, or breast cancer patients through pre-emptive DPYD-genotyping. Design The investigators will conduct an open clinical trial using historical controls. The investigators will implement pre-emptive genotype testing of about 1000 consecutive patients subject to 5-FU, capecitabine, or S1 treatment for colorectal, non-colorectal GI, or breast cancer. The investigators will use a historical control group of about 500 consecutive similar patients. Genotype and Phenotype Patients included in the study who are genotyped for DPYD will have blood collected for a post hoc phenotype test. The blood samples will be used to measure levels of uracil. Some patients in the historic cohort have donated blood to an independent biobank at the time of their cancer treatment. These samples will be used for post hoc DPYD-genotype analysis after the necessary ethical approvals. Cost-effectiveness An economic analysis will be undertaken to examine if implementing the DPYD-genotype is cost-effective.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
: Retrospective

Historic group. Patients treated in the historic control group did not receive DPYD-genotype before treatment with fluorouracil, capecitabine, tegafur. They received standard start doses of 5-FU, capecitabine, tegafur.

: Prospective

Participants enrolled in the prospective group will give a blood sample for immediate DPYD genotyping. Once the results from these tests are in, the treating oncologist have immediate access to the participant's genetic test results and can make dosi
