Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2024:10.1007/s00280-024-04694-0. [PMID: 39002021 DOI: 10.1007/s00280-024-04694-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
Variations in pharmacokinetic responses to high-dose methotrexate are essential for the prognosis and management of toxicity in the treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. This systematic review aimed to identify and evaluate genetic polymorphisms that are significantly associated with the pharmacokinetic parameters of methotrexate during the consolidation phase of pediatric ALL treatment. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines, we systematically reviewed the literature from 2013 to 2023. The databases used were PubMed and Scopus. The outcomes of interest are the study design, patient characteristics, sample size, chemotherapy protocol utilized, pharmacokinetic parameters identified, and genetic polymorphisms implicated. We included 31 articles in the qualitative synthesis and found that the SLCO1B1, ABCB1, ABCC2, and MTHFR genes appear to play significant roles in MTX metabolism and clearance. Among these, variations in SLCO1B1 have the most significant and consistent impact on methotrexate clearance. These implicated variants may contribute to the precision and tailoring of HD-MTX treatment in pediatric ALL patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) therapy poses challenges in various neoplasms due to individualized pharmacokinetics and associated adverse effects. Our purpose is to identify early risk factors associated with HDMTX-induced toxicities, paving the way for personalized treatment. AREAS COVERED A systematic review of PubMed and Cochrane databases was conducted for articles from inception to July 2023. Eligible studies included reviews, clinical trials, and real-world analyses. Irrelevant studies were excluded, and manual searches and citation reviews were performed. Factors such as MTX exposure, drug interactions, demographics, serum albumin, urine pH, serum calcium, and genetic polymorphisms affecting MTX transport (e.g. SLCO1B1), intracellular folate metabolism (MTHFR), cell development (ARID5B), metabolic pathways (UGT1A1, PNPLA3), as well as epigenetics were identified. EXPERT OPINION This comprehensive review aids researchers and clinicians in early identification of HDMTX toxicity risk factors. By understanding the multifaceted risk factors associated with hematologic malignancies, personalized treatment approaches can be tailored to optimize therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
The importance of finite element analysis (FEA) is growing in orthopedic research, especially in implant design. However, Young's modulus (E) values, one of the most fundamental parameters, can range across a wide scale. Therefore, our study aimed to identify factors influencing E values in human bone specimens. We report our systematic review and meta-analysis based on the recommendation of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guideline. We conducted the analysis on November 21, 2021. We included studies investigating healthy human bone specimens and reported on E values regarding demographic data, specimen characteristics, and measurement specifics. In addition, we included study types reporting individual specimen measurements. From the acquired data, we created a cohort in which we performed an exploratory data analysis that included the explanatory variables selected by random forest and regression trees methods, and the comparison of groups using independent samples Welch's t test. A total of 756 entries were included from 48 articles. Eleven different bones of the human body were included in these articles. The range of E values is between 0.008 and 33.7 GPa. The E values were most heavily influenced by the cortical or cancellous type of bone tested. Measuring method (compression, tension, bending, and nanoindentation), the anatomical region within a bone, the position of the bone within the skeleton, and the bone specimen size had a decreasing impact on the E values. Bone anisotropy, specimen condition, patient age, and sex were selected as important variables considering the value of E. On the basis of our results, E values of a bone change with bone characteristics, measurement techniques, and demographic variables. Therefore, the evaluation of FEA should be performed after the standardization of in vitro measurement protocol. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Methotrexate (MTX) is subject to therapeutic drug monitoring because of its high pharmacokinetic variability and safety risk outside the therapeutic window. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic model (popPK) of MTX for Brazilian pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients who attended the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brazil. METHODS The model was developed using NONMEM 7.4 (Icon®), ADVAN3 TRANS4, and FOCE-I. To explain inter-individual variability, we evaluated covariates from demographic, biochemical, and genetic data (single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs] related to the transport and metabolism of drugs). RESULTS A two-compartment model was built using 483 data points from 45 patients (0.33-17.83 years of age) treated with MTX (0.25-5 g/m2) in different cycles. Serum creatinine (SCR), height (HT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and a low BMI stratification (according to the z-score defined by the World Health Organization [LowBMI]) were added as clearance covariates. The final model described MTX clearance as [Formula: see text]. In the two-compartment structural model, the central and peripheral compartment volumes were 26.8 L and 8.47 L, respectively, and the inter-compartmental clearance was 0.218 L/h. External validation of the model was performed through a visual predictive test and metrics using data from 15 other pediatric ALL patients. CONCLUSION The first popPK model of MTX was developed for Brazilian pediatric ALL patients, which showed that inter-individual variability was explained by renal function and factors related to body size.

Abstract
The advancement of high-throughput sequencing and genomic analysis revealed that acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a genetically heterogeneous disease. The abundance of such genetic data in ALL can also be utilized to identify potential targets for drug discovery and even drug repurposing. We aimed to determine potential genes for drug development and further guide the identification of candidate drugs repurposed for treating ALL through integrated genomic network analysis. Genetic variants associated with ALL were retrieved from the GWAS Catalog. We further applied a genomic-driven drug repurposing approach based on the six functional annotations to prioritize crucial biological ALL-related genes based on the scoring system. Lastly, we identified the potential drugs in which the mechanisms overlapped with the therapeutic targets and prioritized the candidate drugs using Connectivity Map (CMap) analysis. Forty-two genes were considered biological ALL-risk genes with ARID5B topping the list. Based on potentially druggable genes that we identified, palbociclib, sirolimus, and tacrolimus were under clinical trial for ALL. Additionally, chlorprothixene, sirolimus, dihydroergocristine, papaverine, and tamoxifen are the top five drug repositioning candidates for ALL according to the CMap score with dasatinib as a comparator. In conclusion, this study determines the practicability and the potential of integrated genomic network analysis in driving drug discovery in ALL.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid antagonist, the mechanism of action is to inhibit DNA synthesis, repair and cell proliferation by decreasing the activities of several folate-dependent enzymes. It is widely used as a chemotherapy drug for children and adults with malignant tumors. High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is an effective treatment for extramedullary infiltration and systemic consolidation in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, significant toxicity results in most patients treated with HD-MTX, which limits its use. HD-MTX-induced toxicity is heterogeneous, and this heterogeneity may be related to gene polymorphisms in related enzymes of the MTX intracellular metabolic pathway. To gain a deeper understanding of the differences in toxicity induced by HD-MTX in individuals, the present review examines the correlation between HD-MTX-induced toxicity and the gene polymorphisms of related enzymes in the MTX metabolic pathway in ALL. In this review, we conclude that only the association of SLCO1B1 and ARID5B gene polymorphisms with plasma levels of MTX and MTX-related toxicity is clearly described. These results suggest that SLCO1B1 and ARID5B gene polymorphisms should be evaluated before HD-MTX treatment. In addition, considering factors such as age and race, the other exact predictor of MTX induced toxicity in ALL needs to be further determined.

A Risk Scoring Model for High-Dose Methotrexate-Induced Liver Injury in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Based on Gene Polymorphism Study. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:726229.

Abstract
A study on 70 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) children (age ≤16 years) treated with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) in Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital was conducted. The aim of the study was to establish a risk-scoring model to predict HD-MTX-induced liver injury, considering gene polymorphisms’ effects. Data screening was performed through t-test, chi-square test, and ridge regression, and six predictors were identified: age, MTRR_AA, MTRR_AG, SLCO1B1_11045879_CC, albumin_1 day before MTX administration, and IBIL_1 day before MTX administration (p < 0.1). Then, the risk-scoring model was established by ridge regression and evaluated the prediction performance. In a training cohort (n = 49), the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.76, and metrics including accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were promising (0.86, 0.81, 0.76, 0.91, 0.81, 0.88, respectively). In a test cohort (n = 21), the AUC was 0.62 and negative predictive value was 0.80; other evaluation metrics were not satisfactory, possibly due to the limited sample size. Ultimately, the risk scores were stratified into three groups based on their distributions: low- (≤48), medium- (49–89), and high-risk (>89) groups. This study could provide knowledge for the prediction of HD-MTX-induced liver injury and reference for the clinical medication.

Abstract
This study aimed to establish a predictive model to identify children with hematologic malignancy at high risk for delayed clearance of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) based on machine learning. A total of 205 patients were recruited. Five variables (hematocrit, risk classification, dose, SLC19A1 rs2838958, sex) and three variables (SLC19A1 rs2838958, sex, dose) were statistically significant in univariable analysis and, separately, multivariate logistic regression. The data was randomly split into a "training cohort" and a "validation cohort". A nomogram for prediction of delayed HD-MTX clearance was constructed using the three variables in the training dataset and validated in the validation dataset. Five machine learning algorithms (cart classification and regression trees, naïve Bayes, support vector machine, random forest, C5.0 decision tree) combined with different resampling methods were used for model building with five or three variables. When developed machine learning models were evaluated in the validation dataset, the C5.0 decision tree combined with the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) using five variables had the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC 0.807 [95% CI 0.724-0.889]), a better performance than the nomogram (AUC 0.69 [95% CI 0.594-0.787]). The results support potential clinical application of machine learning for patient risk classification.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is a mainstay therapeutic agent administered at high doses for the treatment of pediatric and adult malignancies, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, osteosarcoma, and lymphoma. Despite the vast evidence for clinical efficacy, high-dose MTX displays significant inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability. Delayed MTX clearance can lead to prolonged, elevated exposure, causing increased risks for nephrotoxicity, mucositis, seizures, and neutropenia. Numerous pharmacogenetic studies have investigated the effects of several genes and polymorphisms on MTX clearance in an attempt to better understand the pharmacokinetic variability and improve patient outcomes. To date, several genes and polymorphisms that affect MTX clearance have been identified. However, evidence for select genes have conflicting results or lack the necessary replication and validation needed to confirm their effects on MTX clearance. Therefore, we performed a systematic review to identify and then summarize the pharmacogenetic factors that influence high-dose MTX pharmacokinetics in pediatric malignancies. Using the PRISMA guidelines, we analyzed 58 articles and 24 different genes that were associated with transporter pharmacology or the folate transport pathway. We conclude that there is only one gene that reliably demonstrates an effect on MTX pharmacokinetics: SLCO1B1.

Abstract
Despite major advances in the management and high cure rates of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), patients still suffer from many drug-induced toxicities, sometimes necessitating dose reduction, or halting of cytotoxic drugs with a secondary risk of disease relapse. In addition, investigators have noted significant inter-individual variability in drug toxicities and disease outcomes, hence the role of pharmacogenetics (PGx) in elucidating genetic polymorphisms in candidate genes for the optimization of disease management. In this review, we present the PGx data in association with main toxicities seen in children treated for ALL in addition to efficacy, with a focus on the most plausible germline PGx variants. We then follow with a summary of the highest evidence drug-gene annotations with suggestions to move forward in implementing preemptive PGx for the individualization of treatment regimens for children with ALL.

Analysis of Drug Metabolizing Gene Panel in Osteosarcoma Patients Identifies Association Between Variants in SULT1E1, CYP2B6 and CYP4F8 and Methotrexate Levels and Toxicities. Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:1241.

Abstract
High-dose methotrexate is a cornerstone agent in the chemotherapeutic treatment of patients with osteosarcoma. However, patients often develop methotrexate-induced toxicities. We aim to identify determinants of methotrexate-induced toxicities in osteosarcoma patients by investigating the relation between drug plasma levels, methotrexate-induced toxicities, and germline variants in genes related to drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. A cohort of 114 osteosarcoma patients was genotyped for 1,931 variants in 231 genes using the Drug Metabolism Enzymes and Transporters Plus array. Methotrexate plasma levels and laboratory measurements during and after high-dose methotrexate treatment concerning renal function, liver damage, and myelopoiesis to reflect toxicity outcomes were obtained. One hundred and thirteen patients and a subset of 545 variants in 176 genes passed quality control checks. Methotrexate plasma levels showed associations with creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, and hemoglobin. Genetic variant rs3736599 in the 5'-untranslated region of SULT1E1 was associated with lower 48 hour methotrexate plasma levels [coef -0.313 (95% CI -0.459 - -0.167); p = 2.60 × 10-5]. Association with methotrexate-induced decreased thrombocyte counts was found for two intronic variants in CYP2B6 {rs4803418 [coef -0.187 (95% CI -0.275 - -0.099); p = 3.04 × 10-5] and rs4803419 [coef -0.186 (95% CI -0.278 - -0.093); p = 8.80 × 10-5]}. An association with increased thrombocyte counts was identified for the intronic variant rs4808326 in CYP4F8 [coef 0.193 (95% CI 0.099 - 0.287); p = 6.02 × 10-5]. Moreover, a secondary analysis with a binary approach using CTCAE toxicity criteria resulted in a nominal significant associations (p < 0.05) for two out of three variants (rs4803418 and rs4808326). This is the first study to identify genetic variants in SULT1E1, CYP2B6, and CYP4F8 to be associated with methotrexate pharmacokinetics and toxicities. Validation of these variants in an independent cohort and further functional investigation of variants in the identified genes is needed to determine if and how they affect methotrexate plasma levels and the development of methotrexate-induced toxicities.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children with distinct characteristics among different subtypes. Although the etiology of ALL has not been fully unveiled, initiation of ALL has been demonstrated to partly depend on genetic factors. As indicated by several genome wide association studies (GWASs) and candidate gene analyses, ARID5B, a member of AT-rich interactive domain (ARID) protein family, is associated with the occurrence and prognosis of ALL. However, the mechanisms by which ARID5B genotype impact on the susceptibility and treatment outcome remain vague. In this review, we outline developments in the understanding of ARID5B in the susceptibility of ALL and its therapeutic perspectives, and summarize the underlying mechanisms based on the limited functional studies, hoping to illustrate the possible mechanisms of ARID5B impact and highlight the potential treatment regimens.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is one of the staples of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment. MTX targets the folate metabolic pathway (FMP). Abnormal function of the enzymes in FMP, due to genetic aberrations, leads to adverse drug reactions. The aim of this study was to investigate variants in pharmacogenes involved in FMP and their association with MTX pharmacokinetics (MTX elimination profile) and toxicity in the consolidation therapy phase of pediatric ALL patients. Eleven variants in the thymidylate synthetase (TYMS), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), SLC19A1 and SLCO1B genes were analyzed in 148 patients, using PCR- and sequencing-based methodology. For the Serbian and European control groups, data on allele frequency distribution were extracted from in-house and public databases. Our results show that the A allele of SLC19A1 c.80 variant contributes to slow MTX elimination. Additionally, the AA genotype of the same variant is a predictor of MTX-related hepatotoxicity. Patients homozygous for TYMS 6bp deletion were more likely to experience gastrointestinal toxicity. No allele frequency dissimilarity was found for the analyzed variants between Serbian and European populations. Statistical modelling did not show a joint effect of analyzed variants. Our results indicate that SLC19A1 c.80 variant and TYMS 6bp deletion are the most promising pharmacogenomic markers of MTX response in pediatric ALL patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is widely used in the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), but the pharmacokinetic properties of HD-MTX in Chinese adult patients with NHL have not yet been established through an approach that integrates genetic covariates. The purposes of this study were to identify both physiological and pharmacogenomic covariates that can explain the inter- and intraindividual pharmacokinetic variability of MTX in Chinese adult patients with NHL and to explore a new sampling strategy for predicting delayed MTX elimination. METHODS A total of 852 MTX concentrations from 91 adult patients with NHL were analyzed using the nonlinear mixed-effects modeling method. FPGS, GGH, SLCO1B1, ABCB1 and MTHFR were genotyped using the Sequenom MassARRAY technology platform and were screened as covariates. The ability of different sampling strategies to predict the MTX concentration at 72 h was assessed through maximum a posteriori Bayesian forecasting using a validation dataset (18 patients). RESULTS A two-compartment model adequately described the data, and the estimated mean MTX clearance (CL) was 6.03 L/h (9%). Creatinine clearance (CrCL) was identified as a covariate for CL, whereas the intercompartmental clearance (Q) was significantly affected by the body surface area (BSA). However, none of the genotypes exerted a significant effect on the pharmacokinetic properties of MTX. The percentage of patients with concentrations below 0.2 µmol/L at 72 h decreased from 65.6 to 42.6% when the CrCL decreased from 90 to 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 with a scheduled dosing of 3 g/m2, and the same trend was observed with dose regimens of 1 g/m2 and 2 g/m2. Bayesian forecasting using the MTX concentrations at 24 and 42 h provided the best predictive performance for estimating the MTX concentration at 72 h after dosing. CONCLUSIONS The MTX population pharmacokinetic model developed in this study might provide useful information for establishing personalized therapy involving MTX for the treatment of adult patients with NHL.

Abstract
Studies had shown that genetic polymorphism plays a significant role in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics variation of high dose methotrexate (MTX), 5000 mg/m2 regimen. The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic variations associated with the serum level and toxicity of MTX in Malaysian children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Thirty-eight patients were genotyped for rs717620 (ABCC2), rs4948496 (ARID5B), rs1801133 (MTHFR) and rs4149056 (SLCO1B1). Serum levels of MTX at 48 h post 24 h of intravenous infusion were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The ABCC2 genotype was significantly associated with the serum levels of MTX at 48 h after treatment (p = 0.017). Patients with CT and TT of rs717620 (ABCC2) and TC and CC of rs4948496 (ARID5B) were significantly associated with leukopenia grade I-IV (Fisher Exact Test; p = 0.03 and 0.02, respectively). The three most common MTX related toxicities were leukopenia (60.5%), increased alanine aminotransferase enzyme (47.4%), and thrombocytopenia (47.4%). Our results demonstrate that by prescreening of patients for ABCC2 and ARID5B associated with the serum levels and adverse effects of MTX would identify patients at risk and therefore help a pediatric oncologist to personalize chemotherapy drugs for precision health.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) forms the backbone of maintenance cycles in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy, including interim maintenance. There is sufficient published data describing toxicities of high dose MTX (HD-MTX), but toxicities with escalating doses of MTX (Capizzi regimen) is not well documented. Capizzi regimen is thought to be relatively safe; we contend that even low escalating doses of MTX have significant toxicities. Our study intends to characterise such events with Capizzi MTX in comparison to that seen with HD-MTX. The retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary care centre of North India. We looked for the presence of six main toxicities: febrile neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, mucositis, hepatic toxicity, renal toxicity and skin toxicity from the clinical records of children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma (intermediate and high risk disease), treated at our centre from November 2013 to July 2018. Intermediate risk ALL (IR-ALL) received Capizzi MTX, whereas high risk ALL (HR-ALL/T-NHL), received HD-MTX. Both these regimens do not use L-asparaginase. A total of 237 cycles of Capizzi escalating MTX and 151 cycles of HD-MTX (B cell: 3 gm/m2 and T cell ALL/T-NHL: 5 gm/m2) during interim maintenance were studied in 93 children. Fifty-four (54) children were of IR (all B cell ALL) and 39 of HR-ALL (21 B-ALL, 18 T-ALL/T-NHL). The combined incidence of toxicities, were similar between the two groups: 68/237 cycles (28.7%) of Capizzi MTX and 45/151 cycles (29.8%) of HD-MTX (P = 0.815). However, mucositis was more commonly witnessed in the later group at 22/151 cycle (14.6%) versus 13/237 cycles (5.5%) in Capizzi MTX (P = 0.002). Nephrotoxicity and skin toxicity was seen only in the HD-MTX group. There was no difference in the severity of toxicity, graded using NCI CTCAE v 5.0, between the two groups. There was no mortality directly attributable to methotrexate toxicity (Grade V toxicity). Serum MTX levels were available in 69/151 (45.7%) cycles of HD-MTX and showed no association with toxicity in this group. Also, there was no difference in the incidence of combined toxicities between groups with (19/69 cycles) or without (26/82 cycles) available serum MTX levels in the HR group (P = 0.577). Male gender, lower baseline ANC and lower BMI had significant association with toxicity. Methotrexate related toxicity is common with both Capizzi and HD-MTX schedule in childhood ALL with a correlation of lower BMI, baseline ANC and male gender. However, it is possible to administer Capizzi as well as HD-MTX in lower middle income countries, with manageable toxicity. Further studies will be required to substantiate our findings and determine the predictors of such events.

Abstract
Background:
Methotrexate (MTX) is one of the leading chemotherapeutic agents with the bestdemonstrated
efficacies against childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Due to the narrow therapeutic
range, significant inter- and intra-patient variabilities of MTX, non-effectiveness and/or toxicity occur abruptly to
cause chemotherapeutic interruption or discontinuation. The relationship between clinical outcome and the systemic
concentration of MTX has been well established, making the monitoring of plasma MTX levels critical in
the treatment of ALL. Besides metabolizing enzymes, multiple transporters are also involved in determining the
intracellular drug levels. In this mini-review, we focused on the genetic polymorphisms of MTX-disposition
related transporters and the potential association between the discussed genetic variants and MTX pharmacokinetics,
efficacy, and toxicity in the context of MTX treatment.
Methods:
We searched PubMed for citations published in English using the terms “methotrexate”, “transporter”,
“acute lymphoblastic leukemia”, “polymorphisms”, and “therapeutic drug monitoring”. The retrieval papers were
critically reviewed and summarized according to the aims of this mini-review.
Results:
Solute carrier (SLC) transporters (SLC19A1, SLCO1A2, SLCO1B1, and SLC22A8) and ATP-binding
cassette (ABC) transporters (ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCC3, ABCC4, ABCC5, and ABCG2) mediate MTX disposition.
Of note, the influences of polymorphisms of SLC19A1, SLCO1B1 and ABCB1 genes on the clinical outcome
of MTX have been extensively studied.
Conclusion:
Overall, the data critically reviewed in this mini-review article confirmed that polymorphisms in the
genes encoding SLC and ABC transporters confer higher sensitivity to altered plasma levels, MTX-induced toxicity,
and therapeutic response in pediatric patients with ALL. Pre-emptive determination may be helpful in individualizing
treatment.

Abstract
High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) plays an important role in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) although there is great inter-patient variability in the efficacy and toxicity of MTX. The relationship between polymorphisms in genes encoding MTX transporters and MTX response is controversial. In the present study, 322 Chinese children with standard- and intermediate-risk ALL were genotyped for 12 polymorphisms. SLCO1B1 rs10841753 showed a significant association with plasma MTX levels at 48 h (P = 0.017). Patients who had the ABCB1 rs1128503 C allele had longer duration of hospitalization than did those with the TT genotype (P = 0.006). No association was found between oral mucositis and any polymorphism. Long-term outcome was worse in patients with the SLCO1B1 rs4149056 CC genotype than in patients with TT or TC (5-year event-free survival [EFS] 33.3 ± 19.2% vs. 90.5 ± 1.7%, P < 0.001), and was worse in patients with the SCL19A1 rs2838958 AA genotype than in patients with AG or GG (5-year EFS 78.5 ± 4.6% vs. 92.2 ± 1.8%, P = 0.008). Multiple Cox regression analyses revealed associations of minimal residual disease (MRD) at day 33 (hazard ratio 3.458; P = 0.002), MRD at day 78 (hazard ratio 6.330; P = 0.001), SLCO1B1 rs4149056 (hazard ratio 12.242; P < 0.001), and SCL19A1 rs2838958 (hazard ratio 2.324; P = 0.019) with EFS. Our findings show that polymorphisms in genes encoding MTX transporters substantially influence the kinetics and response to HDMTX therapy in childhood ALL.

[PMID: 29286579 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.26937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2017] [Revised: 11/28/2017] [Accepted: 11/29/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Many paediatric patients with cancer experience significant chemotherapy side effects. Predisposition to drug reactions is governed by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We performed a systematic review of the literature from 2006 through 2016. Outcomes of interest included patient characteristics, cancer type drug of interest, genes investigated, toxicity identified and genetic polymorphisms implicated. The primary toxicities studied were neurotoxicity cardiotoxicity, osteonecrosis, and thromboembolism and hypersensitivity reactions. The retrieved studies were grouped according to toxicity reported and SNP associations. This review highlights the discoveries to date in pharmacogenomics and paediatric oncology along with highlighting some of the important limitations in the area.

Abstract
Risperidone (R) is the most prescribed antipsychotic drug for patients with a first episode of psychosis (FEP). In a naturalistic cohort of chronic psychiatric inpatients, we demonstrated that clinicians adjust R dosage by CYP2D6 activity, despite being blinded to the genotype, which we described as an "intuitive pharmacogenetic" process. The aim of the present study is to replicate our previous findings of intuitive pharmacogenetic in a cohort of FEP patients using CYP2D6 phenotype extrapolated from genotypes. 70 FEP patients, under baseline treatment with R monotherapy were genotyped using the iPLEX® ADME PGx multiplex panel and TaqMan® Genotyping and Copy Number Assays. Plasma concentrations of R and its metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone (9-OH), were determined. The predictive properties of those variables associated with R dosage were tested using a multiple linear regression model as well as regression trees. Significant differences in the mean daily dosage of R among CYP2D6 phenotypes were observed (Kruskal-Wallis test p=0.02): PM (4.00±2.3mg/mL), IM (4.56±2.44), EM (6.22±4.0mg/day) and UM (10.20±4.91mg/day). However, non-significant differences were observed in the R/9-OH ratio or in the Concentration/Dose ratio. Regression tree provided better estimations of R dosage than the multiple linear regression model (MAE=0.958 and R2=0.871). We confirm the "intuitive pharmacogenetic" dosing of R according to the CYP2D6 phenotype in a FEP cohort. The results presented provides a rationale for the clinical use of CYP2D6 genotyping in personalized medicine.

Abstract
Methotrexate is an antifolate agent used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and various types of cancers. It is a unique antiproliferative agent because it can be administered by multiple routes with a wide variation of dosing. Methotrexate pharmacokinetics have generated numerous papers focusing on descriptive data and pharmacodynamics. Methotrexate is one of the rare anticancer agents which pharmacokinetics are routinely monitoring to control excessive toxicity when administrated at high dose (>1 g/m2). The identification of transporters involved in its disposition has permitted the understanding and the prevention of most drug interactions. Pharmacogenetic factors affecting the expression of MRP2 and OATP1B1 partly explain the interindividual variability of methotrexate clearance. The remaining challenge in methotrexate pharmacokinetics is to further understand unexplained delayed renal elimination despite the implementation of preventive measures.

Abstract
Cancer treatment is becoming more and more individually based as a result of the large inter-individual differences that exist in treatment outcome and toxicity when patients are treated using population-based drug doses. Polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters can significantly influence uptake, metabolism, and elimination of anticancer drugs. As a result, the altered pharmacokinetics can greatly influence drug efficacy and toxicity. Pharmacogenetic screening and/or drug-specific phenotyping of cancer patients eligible for treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs, prior to the start of anticancer treatment, can identify patients with tumors that are likely to be responsive or resistant to the proposed drugs. Similarly, the identification of patients with an increased risk of developing toxicity would allow either dose adaptation or the application of other targeted therapies. This review focuses on the role of genetic polymorphisms significantly altering the pharmacokinetics of anticancer drugs. Polymorphisms in DPYD, TPMT, and UGT1A1 have been described that have a major impact on the pharmacokinetics of 5-fluorouracil, mercaptopurine, and irinotecan, respectively. For other drugs, however, the association of polymorphisms with pharmacokinetics is less clear. To date, the influence of genetic variations on the pharmacokinetics of the increasingly used monoclonal antibodies has hardly been investigated. Some studies indicate that genes encoding the Fcγ-receptor family are of interest, but more research is needed to establish if screening before the start of therapy is beneficial. Considering the profound impact of polymorphisms in drug transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes on the pharmacokinetics of chemotherapeutic drugs and hence, their toxicity and efficacy, pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic profiling should become the standard of care.

Abstract
The availability of licensed paediatric drugs is lagging behind those for adults, and there is a lack of safe formulations in suitable doses that children are able and willing to take. As a consequence, children are commonly treated with off-label or unlicensed drugs. As off-label and unlicensed drug use are associated with a greater risk for harm than on-label drug use, a range of global initiatives have been developed to realize "better" medicines for children. This review describes the challenges and achievements of the European Union to realize this goal, with a focus on paediatric drug development and formulation design. In 2007, a European Paediatric Regulation was installed enforcing companies to consider children in the early development of drugs with a new drug substance, for a new indication or with a new route of administration. The Regulation, e.g. requires companies to develop a paediatric investigation plan discussing the proposed clinical trials in children of different ages and the formulations for future marketing. Since 2013, the pharmaceutical design of any newly marketed paediatric drug should comply with the "Guideline on the Pharmaceutical Development of Medicines for Paediatric Use." Companies should, e.g. justify the route of administration, dosage form, formulation characteristics, safety of excipients, dosing frequency, container closure system, administration device, patient acceptability and user information. In this review, the guideline's key aspects are discussed with a focus on novel formulations such as mini-tablets and orodispersible films, excipients with a potential risk for harm such as azo dyes and adequate user instructions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The present article reviews the recent literature on the main aspects of acute kidney injury (AKI) developing in patients with hematological malignancies admitted to ICU. RECENT FINDINGS Up to two thirds of critically ill patients with hematological malignancies develop AKI. Current mortality rates range from 40 to 60% for most patients with hematological malignancies, except for recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in whom outcomes remain very poor. Renal function recovery occurs in most patients with AKI, but is dependent on the underlying causes. AKI is usually multifactorial, resulting from causes common to other ICU patients and related to the underlying malignancy or its treatment. New targeted therapies and treatment strategies are potentially associated with AKI. Management of these patients requires a high degree of suspicion, close monitoring of metabolic parameters, and use of preventive strategies to limit risk of AKI or to mitigate its severity. SUMMARY AKI is a frequent and severe complication in critically ill patients with hematological malignancies. As the clinical management is complex, close collaboration with hematologists is paramount.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of the adverse effects of chemotherapy is essential to improve outcome of children with leukemia. Some genetic polymorphisms can predict treatment-related toxicity, and be used individually in dose modification of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and methotrexate (MTX) in maintenance therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We investigated associations between clinical course and candidate gene polymorphisms less evaluated in Japanese patients. METHODS Fifty-three children who received maintenance chemotherapy were enrolled in this study. The scheduled dose of oral 6-MP was 40 mg/m(2) daily and that of oral MTX was 25 mg/m(2) weekly. The doses were adjusted according to white blood cell count (target range, 2.5-3.5 × 10(9) /L) and aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase level (< 750 IU/L). Eight polymorphisms in six candidate genes, TPMT, ITPA, MRP4, MTHFR, RFC1, and SLCO1B1, were genotyped using the Taqman PCR method. Clinical course was reviewed retrospectively from medical records. RESULTS The average dose of 6-MP was lower in the patients with at least one variant allele at SLCO1B1 c.521 T > C than in the patients with wild homozygous genotype. The other analyzed polymorphisms were not associated with toxicity, 6-MP, or MTX dose. CONCLUSIONS Polymorphism of SLCO1B1 c.521 T > C could be a strong predictor of 6-MP dose reduction in maintenance chemotherapy in childhood ALL.
