Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM
There exists considerably large interpatient variability in pharmacokinetic exposure of high dose melphalan in multiple myeloma patients with hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the potential impacts of CYP3A4*1B (rs2940574) and CYP3A5*3 (rs776746) variations on pharmacokinetic properties of melphalan and clinical outcomes in multiple myeloma (MM) patients.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Genotypes of CYP3A4*1B (rs2940574) and CYP3A5*3 (rs776746) were determined by validated gene-specific real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assays using DNA samples from 108 MM patients; plasma concentrations of melphalan at different time points were quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
RESULTS
CYP3A4*1B/*1B and CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers appeared to have a short median progression-free survival time and a higher maximum melphalan plasma concentration than non-carriers [792 vs. over 950 days, p=0.08; 9.91 (2.67, 34.03) vs. 8.66 (4.46, 17.61) mg/l, p=0.039].
CONCLUSION
CYP3A4*1B/*1B and CYP3A5*3/*3 variations might influence melphalan therapy in MM patients through yet-to-be-identified mechanisms.
