Genetic Variants Associated with Fluoropyrimidine-Induced Toxicity in Real-World Patients After Pre-Emptive DPYD Pharmacogenetic Testing [PDF]
Background/Objectives: As a treatment, fluoropyrimidines are often associated with early moderate-to-severe toxicity. Although pre-emptive DPYD genotyping enables genotype-guided dosing, significant adverse events still occur in patients classified as ...

Global Investigation of Clinical Implementation Strategies for DPYD Testing to Guide Fluoropyrimidine Therapy [PDF]
Fluoropyrimidines are a vital component of chemotherapy regimens. Deleterious DPYD variants reduce activity of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, the rate‐limiting enzyme of fluoropyrimidine catabolism, resulting in reduced fluoropyrimidine clearance and ...

DPYD genotyping in patients receiving capecitabine: an exploratory analysis from the D-TORCH study [PDF]
Introduction: Deficiency of the dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase enzyme can result in capecitabine-related toxicity due to genetic alterations in the DPYD gene, leading to complete or partial DPD deficiency and poor or intermediate metabolizer phenotypes.

Do Socio-Economic Determinants Influence DPYD Testing? A Real-World Study of 1478 Cancer Patients Receiving Fluoropyrimidine Chemotherapy [PDF]
Background: The DPYD gene encodes dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), an enzyme essential for metabolising chemotherapeutic agents such as capecitabine, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and tegafur.

DPYD-guided fluoropyrimidine dose adjustment in colorectal cancer DPYD carriers: start slower to finish stronger [PDF]
IntroductionFluoropyrimidines (FP) are the mainstay of colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, but can cause severe toxicity in up to 40% of patients. Variants in the DPYD gene are associated with these adverse events.

Background Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is a key enzyme in the metabolism of fluoropyrimidines. Variations in the encoding DPYD gene are associated with severe fluoropyrimidine toxicity and up-front dose reductions are recommended.
