Pharmacogenetics of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Uruguay: adverse events related to induction phase drugs. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1278769. [PMID: 38044950 PMCID: PMC10690766 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1278769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
In Uruguay, the pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cure rate is 82.2%, similar to those reported in developed countries. However, many patients suffer adverse effects that could be attributed, in part, to genetic variability. This study aims to identify genetic variants related to drugs administered during the induction phase and analyze their contribution to adverse effects, considering individual genetic ancestry. Ten polymorphisms in five genes (ABCB1, CYP3A5, CEP72, ASNS, and GRIA1) related to prednisone, vincristine, and L-asparaginase were genotyped in 200 patients. Ancestry was determined using 45 ancestry informative markers (AIMs). The sample ancestry was 69.2% European, 20.1% Native American, and 10.7% African, but with high heterogeneity. Mucositis, Cushing syndrome, and neurotoxicity were the only adverse effects linked with genetic variants and ancestry. Mucositis was significantly associated with ASNS (rs3832526; 3R/3R vs. 2R carriers; OR: = 6.88 [1.88-25.14], p = 0.004) and CYP3A5 (non-expressors vs. expressors; OR: 4.55 [1.01-20.15], p = 0.049) genes. Regarding Cushing syndrome, patients with the TA genotype (rs1049674, ASNS) had a higher risk of developing Cushing syndrome than those with the TT genotype (OR: 2.60 [1.23-5.51], p = 0.012). Neurotoxicity was significantly associated with ABCB1 (rs9282564; TC vs. TT; OR: 4.25 [1.47-12.29], p = 0.007). Moreover, patients with <20% Native American ancestry had a lower risk of developing neurotoxicity than those with ≥20% (OR: 0.312 [0.120-0.812], p = 0.017). This study shows the importance of knowing individual genetics to improve the efficacy and safety of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Abstract
Vincristine (VCR), an effective antitumor drug, has been utilized in several polytherapy regimens for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma. However, clinical evidence shows that the metabolism of VCR varies greatly among patients. The traditional based body surface area (BSA) administration method is prone to insufficient exposure to VCR or severe VCR-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (VIPN). Therefore, reliable strategies are urgently needed to improve efficacy and reduce VIPN. Due to the unpredictable pharmacokinetic changes of VCR, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may help to ensure its efficacy and to manage VIPN. At present, there is a lot of supporting evidence for the suitability of applying TDM to VCR therapy. Based on the consensus guidelines drafted by the International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology (IATDMCT), this review aimed to summarize various available data to evaluate the potential utility of VCR TDM for cancer patients. Of note, valuable evidence has accumulated on pharmacokinetics variability, pharmacodynamics, drug exposure-clinical response relationship, biomarkers for VIPN prediction, and assays for VCR monitoring. However, there are still many relevant clinical pharmacological questions that cannot yet be answered merely based on insufficient evidence. Currently, we cannot recommend a therapeutic exposure range and cannot yet provide a dose-adaptation strategy for clinicians and patients. In areas where the evidence is not yet sufficient, more research is needed in the future. The precision medicine of VCR cannot rely on TDM alone and needs to consider the clinical, environmental, genetic background and patient-specific factors as a whole.

Abstract
Vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) is a common adverse effect of vincristine (VCR) for which there is no preventative or curative treatment. Here, we report a case of a patient suffering from severe VCR-related neurotoxicity. To explore the possible causes of severe VIPN in this patient, a set of genes involved in VCR metabolism, transport or are related to the cytoskeleton, microtubules, and inherited neurological diseases gene polymorphisms were examined via pharmacogenetic analyses. The genotyping results revealed the presence of a complex pattern of polymorphisms in CYP3A5, ABCC2, SYNE2, BAHD1, NPSR1, MTNR1B, CEP72, miR-4481 and miR-3117. A comprehensive understanding of all the pharmacogenetic risk factors for VIPN may explain the occurrence of severe neurotoxicity in our patient. This case brings to light the potential importance of pharmacogenetic testing in clinical practice. It also exemplifies the importance of developing early-detection strategies to optimize treatment regimens through prior risk stratification while reducing adverse drug reactions and personalizing therapy.

Pharmacogenomics of Vincristine-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Children with Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14030612.

Abstract
Simple Summary Vincristine is a drug that is part of the treatment for many children with cancer. Its main side-effect is vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN), which often presents as tingling, pain, and lack of strength in the hands and feet. It is not yet possible to predict which children will suffer from VIPN. In this review, we report on all genetic variations that are associated with VIPN. We found that variations in genes related to vincristine transport, cell structure, hereditary nerve disease, and genes without a previously known connection to vincristine or VIPN are related to VIPN. Variations in genes involved in vincristine breakdown are not significantly associated with VIPN. In conclusion, genetic variations affect a child’s tendency to develop VIPN. In the future, this information might be used to predict the risk of VIPN and adapt treatment on this. Abstract Vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) is a debilitating side-effect of vincristine. It remains a challenge to predict which patients will suffer from VIPN. Pharmacogenomics may explain an individuals’ susceptibility to side-effects. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we describe the influence of pharmacogenomic parameters on the development of VIPN in children with cancer. PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were searched. In total, 1597 records were identified and 21 studies were included. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed for the influence of CYP3A5 expression on the development of VIPN. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in transporter-, metabolism-, cytoskeleton-, and hereditary neuropathy-associated genes and SNPs in genes previously unrelated to vincristine or neuropathy were associated with VIPN. CYP3A5 expression status was not significantly associated with VIPN. The comparison and interpretation of the results of the included studies was limited due to heterogeneity in the study population, treatment protocol and assessment methods and definitions of VIPN. Independent replication is essential to validate the clinical significance of the reported associations. Future research should aim for prospective VIPN assessment in both a discovery and a replication cohort. Ultimately, the goal would be to screen patients upfront to determine optimal vincristine dosage with regards to efficacy and risk of VIPN.

Abstract
During the last few decades, pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cure rates have improved significantly with rates exceeding 90%. Parallel to this remarkable improvement, there has been mounting interest in the long-term health of the survivors. Consequently, modified treatment protocols have been developed and resulted in the reduction of many adverse long-term consequences. Nevertheless, these are still substantial concerns that warrant further mitigation efforts. In the current review, pediatric-ALL survivors’ late adverse events, including secondary malignant neoplasms (SMNs), cardiac toxicity, neurotoxicity, bone toxicity, hepatic dysfunction, visual changes, obesity, impact on fertility, and neurocognitive effects have been evaluated. Throughout this review, we attempted to answer a fundamental question: can the recent molecular findings mitigate pediatric-ALL chemotherapy’s long-term sequelae on adult survivors? For SMNs, few genetic predisposition factors have been identified including TP53 and POT1 variants. Other treatment-related risk factors have been identified such as anthracyclines’ possible association with breast cancer in female survivors. Cardiotoxicity is another significant and common adverse event with some germline variants been found, albeit with conflicting evidence, to increase the risk of cardiac toxicity. For peripheral neurotoxicity, vincristine is the primary neurotoxic agent in ALL regimens. Some germline genetic variants were found to be associated with the vincristine neurotoxic effect’s vulnerability. However, these were mainly detected with acute neuropathy. Moreover, the high steroid doses and prolonged use increase bone toxicity and obesity risk with some pharmacogenetic biomarkers were associated with increased steroid sensitivity. Therefore, the role of these biomarkers in tailoring steroid choice and dose is a promising research area. Future directions in pediatric ALL treatment should consider the various opportunities provided by genomic medicine. Understanding the molecular bases underlying toxicities will classify patients into risk groups and implement a closer follow-up to those at higher risk. Pharmacogenetic-guided dosing and selecting between alternative agents have proven their efficacy in the short-term management of childhood ALL. It is the right time to think about a similar approach for the life-long consequences on survivors.

Abstract
Adult cancer disparities have been documented for decades and continue to persist despite clinical advancements in cancer prevention, detection, and treatment. Pediatric cancer survival has improved significantly in the United States for the past 5 decades to over 80%; however, disparate outcomes among children and adolescents with cancer still affect many populations in the United States and globally, including racial and ethnic minorities, populations with low socioeconomic status, and residents of underserved areas. To achieve equitable outcomes for all children and adolescents with cancer, it is imperative that concerted multilevel approaches be carried out to understand and address health disparities and to ensure access to high-quality cancer care. Addressing social determinants of health, such as removing barriers to health care access and ensuring access to social supports, can reduce pediatric cancer disparities. Nevertheless, public health policy, health system interventions, and innovative delivery of evidence-based services are critically needed. Partnerships among patients, caregivers, and health care providers, and among health care, academic, and governmental institutions, have a pivotal role in reducing cancer disparities and improving outcomes in the 21st century.

Abstract
Cancer is a challenging, multifaceted disease that involves a combination of biological and nonbiological factors. Aside from COVID-19, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States and the first among Hispanic Americans. The Hispanic population is the largest minority group in the United States, which is rapidly growing in size. Unfortunately, U.S. Hispanics and other minority groups experience many different health disparities, resulting in poor survival outcomes and a reduced quality of life. Factors such as genomic mutations, lower socioeconomic status, lack of education, reduced access to health care, comorbidities, and environmental factors all contribute to these health-care inequalities. In the context of blood cancer health disparities, Hispanic patients are often diagnosed at a younger age and have worse outcomes compared with non-Hispanic individuals. In this commentary, we highlight the existing knowledge about cancer health disparities in the Hispanic population, with a focus on chronic and acute leukemia. In our experience at the U.S./Mexican border, analysis of several different blood cancers demonstrated that younger Hispanic patients with acute lymphoid or myeloid leukemia have higher incidence rates and worse prognoses. A combined approach, involving improved health-care access and better knowledge of the underlying factors, will allow for more timely diagnoses and the development of intervention strategies aimed at reducing or eliminating the disparities.

Abstract
Introduction: One of the most common side effects during vincristine (VCR) use is the establishment of VCR-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN). Among several risk factors that can influence the development of VIPN, such as cumulative dose and patient's age, sex, ethnicity, and genetic variants, this review is focused on the genetic variability. Areas covered: A literature research was performed firstly using the following PubMed search string ((((CIPN OR (vincristine AND neurotoxicity OR (vincristine AND neuropathy))) AND (polymorphisms OR (genetic variants OR (genetic factors OR (genetic profile OR (pharmacogenetics OR (genome-wide OR (genetic risk OR (expression genotype))))))))))) but also other relevant papers cited by the selected articles were included. Based on the obtained results, we identified two main categories of genes: genes involved in pharmacokinetics (genes related to metabolism and transport) or pharmacodynamics (genes related to mechanism of action) of VCR. Expert opinion: Despite several clinical retrospective studies investigating the possible correlations between patient genotype and VIPN onset, contrasting and inconsistent results are reported. In conclusion, given the clinical relevance of VIPN, further and more focused research would be fundamental in order to identify genetic variants able to predict its development and to allow a safer management of treated patients.

Abstract
Tacrolimus trough and dose requirements vary dramatically between individuals of European and African American ancestry. These differences are less well described in other populations. We conducted an observational, prospective, multicenter study from which 2595 kidney transplant recipients of European, African, Native American, and Asian ancestry were studied for tacrolimus trough, doses, and genetic determinants of metabolism. We studied the well-known variants and conducted a CYP3A4/5 gene-wide analysis to identify new variants. Daily doses, and dose-normalized troughs were significantly different between the four groups (P < .001). CYP3A5*3 (rs776746) was associated with higher dose-normalized tacrolimus troughs in all groups but occurred at different allele frequencies and had differing effect sizes. The CYP3A5*6 (rs10264272) and *7 (rs413003343) variants were only present in African Americans. CYP3A4*22 (rs35599367) was not found in any of the Asian ancestry samples. We identified seven suggestive variants in the CYP3A4/5 genes associated with dose-normalized troughs in Native Americans (P = 1.1 × 10-5 -8.8 × 10-6 ) and one suggestive variant in Asian Americans (P = 5.6 × 10-6 ). Tacrolimus daily doses and dose-normalized troughs vary significantly among different ancestry groups. We identified potential new variants important in Asians and Native Americans. Studies with larger populations should be conducted to assess the importance of the identified suggestive variants.

Abstract
Oral mucositis in oncologic patients is the most undesirable event of the chemotherapeutic treatment. This study aimed to identify damage to the oral cavity resulting from chemotherapy in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This is a prospective study with a sample of 42 children and adolescents evaluated for 10 consecutive weeks after diagnosis. The modified Oral Assessment Guide (OAG) was used, and data were analyzed by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (α = 5%). Changes to the normal lips and saliva were positively related to an increase in the OAG score during all 10 weeks of evaluation. Alterations to the labial mucosa were correlated with an increase in the OAG score from the 2nd to 10th week, which was also found for changes in the tongue and in the swallowing function in Weeks 1, 6, 8, 9, and 10 and for gum changes from the 5th to 7th week. No significant vocal changes were correlated with the total OAG score at any point during the monitoring period. Changes in lips, cheek and/or palatal mucosa, labial mucosa, and gum areas and in swallowing function were positively correlated with an increase in the severity of oral mucositis in patients with ALL after beginning chemotherapeutic treatment.
