Abstract
PURPOSE Genetic variants may influence the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKPD) of cyclophosphamide (CY). CY plays a critical role in conditioning chemotherapy for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), but its use is limited by toxicity. We explored the effect of genetic variants, potentially affecting PKPD of CY, and outcomes after HCT. METHODS This observational pharmacogenomic study included 85 adults with hematologic malignancies who received reduced intensity conditioning with CY, fludarabine, and total body irradiation. We collected recipient DNA prior to HCT and evaluated 97 candidate variants in 66 genes and 3 metabolism phenotypes potentially involved in PKPD pathways of CY. In multivariable analysis we investigated the association between the genotypes and four clinical outcomes: Day 180 non-relapse mortality (NRM) and day 180 overall survival (OS), acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD) grades 2-4, and engraftment. p values were not adjusted for multiple testing. RESULTS The median recipient age was 63 years (range 21-75). Acute myeloid leukemia was the most common diagnosis (34%; n = 29). In multivariable analysis adjusted for exposure to phosphoramide mustard, the final active metabolite of CY, we identified 6 variants in 6 genes associated with at least one of the clinical outcomes. An ABCC4 variant (rs9561778) was associated with poor Day 180 NRM (p < 0.01), MUTYH variant (rs3219484) with higher Day 180 NRM and aGVHD (both p < 0.01), and SYNE1 variant (rs4331993) with better Day 180 OS and engraftment (both p ≤ 0.01). CONCLUSION The present study suggests that genetic variants influencing the PKPD of CY may help identify patients at risk for inferior outcomes after HCT using CY-based reduced-intensity conditioning.

[PMID: 34175369 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2021.107924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
DLBCL is the most common lymphoma representing approximately one third of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas and about 40% of patients do not benefit of the standard first-line immune-chemotherapeutic treatment (i.e., R-CHOP - rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) that is administered as upfront therapy to substantially all patients independently from the stage of disease and other prognostic parameters. The administration of other pharmacological treatments is in fact limited to selected patients, unfitting for R-CHOP. Although clinical prognostic scores, i.e. International Prognostic Index (IPI), and molecular classifiers based on the cell of origin are available, at present no biomarkers predictive of R-CHOP response has been identified and validated. Constitutional polymorphisms of genes involved in the mechanism of action of drugs included in R-CHOP have been suggested by many authors to play a role in the efficacy and in some case in the toxicity of this treatment. Thus, it is conceivable that in the future, after proper validation, some polymorphisms can be used as pharmacogenetic biomarkers of therapeutic outcome in this disease setting. This review discusses the status of the art on molecular biomarkers predictive of DLBCL prognosis and deals with the relevant issue of the variability in response to DLBCL drug treatment. Overall, this review focuses on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that, based on a candidate gene approach or on a GWAS analysis, have been suggested to play a role in response to R-CHOP. In particular, SNPs discovered by a candidate gene approach are related to gene involved in drug transport (i.e. ATP-binding cassette transporters), drug metabolism, drug detoxification enzymes, oxidative stress, apoptosis, DNA repair, immunity and angiogenesis. Data from a GWAS analysis performed in DLBCL patients treated with R-CHOP, identified two SNPs associated with clinical outcomes related to genes involved in pivotal cellular processes and in transcriptional regulation and cell cycle progression, respectively. Ongoing prospective pharmacogenetic clinical trials, including a GWAS study we performed, have also been discussed.

Detection of Rare Germline Variants in the Genomes of Patients with B-Cell Neoplasms. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13061340. [PMID: 33809641 PMCID: PMC8001490 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13061340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The global importance of rare variants in tumorigenesis has been addressed by some pan-cancer analysis, revealing significant enrichments in protein-truncating variants affecting genes such as ATM, BRCA1/2, BRIP1, and MSH6. Germline variants can influence treatment response and contribute to the development of treatment-related second neoplasms, especially in childhood leukemia. We aimed to analyze the genomes of patients with B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders for the discovery of genes enriched in rare pathogenic variants. We discovered a significant enrichment for two genes in germline rare and dysfunctional variants. Additionally, we detected rare and likely pathogenic variants associated with disease prognosis and potential druggability, indicating a relevant role of these events in the variability of cancer phenotypes. Abstract There is growing evidence indicating the implication of germline variation in cancer predisposition and prognostication. Here, we describe an analysis of likely disruptive rare variants across the genomes of 726 patients with B-cell lymphoid neoplasms. We discovered a significant enrichment for two genes in rare dysfunctional variants, both of which participate in the regulation of oxidative stress pathways (CHMP6 and GSTA4). Additionally, we detected 1675 likely disrupting variants in genes associated with cancer, of which 44.75% were novel events and 7.88% were protein-truncating variants. Among these, the most frequently affected genes were ATM, BIRC6, CLTCL1A, and TSC2. Homozygous or germline double-hit variants were detected in 28 cases, and coexisting somatic events were observed in 17 patients, some of which affected key lymphoma drivers such as ATM, KMT2D, and MYC. Finally, we observed that variants in six different genes were independently associated with shorter survival in CLL. Our study results support an important role for rare germline variation in the pathogenesis and prognosis of B-cell lymphoid neoplasms.
