Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Implementation of Upfront DPYD Genotyping

open access: yes, 2022
Fluoropyrimidines (FP; 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, and tegafur) are a commonly prescribed class of antimetabolite chemotherapies, used for various solid organ malignancies in over 2 million patients globally per annum.

Cost Implications of Reactive Versus Prospective Testing for Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Deficiency in Patients With Colorectal Cancer: A Single-Institution Experience

open access: yesDose-Response, 2018
Background: Severe toxicity is experienced by a substantial minority of patients receiving fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy, with approximately 20% of these severe toxicities attributable to polymorphisms in the DPYD gene.

A new DPYD genotyping assay for improving the safety of 5-fluorouracil therapy

open access: yes, 2012
Chemotherapeutic use of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) is compromised by 10-20% of patients developing severe toxicity. Recently described genetic variation in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) has been shown to be a major predictor of 5FU toxicity.

Cost‐effectiveness of DPYD genotyping prior to fluoropyrimidine‐based treatment for colorectal cancer in Wales

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Regulatory guidance in the United Kingdom advises DPYD genotyping prior to fluoropyrimidine‐based treatment. This economic evaluation estimated the costs and outcomes associated with DPYD screening prior to prescribing fluoropyrimidines for colorectal cancer in Wales and also considers additional variants to those included in ...

Pharmacogenetics of DPYD and treatment-related mortality on fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy for cancer patients: a meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis

open access: yesBMC Cancer
Background Fluoropyrimidines are chemotherapy drugs utilized to treat a variety of solid tumors. These drugs predominantly rely on the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), which is encoded by the DPYD gene, for their metabolism.

Clinical relevance of pharmacogenomic information for improving prescribing practices in acutely admitted older medical patients

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Safe prescribing and effective medication review during acute hospitalization depends on accurate information about liver and kidney function because these organs are responsible for the elimination of most medications. While estimates for kidney function are widely used, comparable markers of hepatic drug‐metabolizing capacity are not routinely ...

Novel Genetic Variants Explaining Severe Adverse Drug Events after Clinical Implementation of DPYD Genotype-Guided Therapy with Fluoropyrimidines: An Observational Study

open access: yesPharmaceutics
Fluoropyrimidines (FPs) are commonly prescribed in many cancer streams. The EMA and FDA-approved drug labels for FPs recommend genotyping the DPYD*2A (rs3918290), *13 (rs55886062), *HapB3 (rs56038477), alleles, and DPYD rs67376798 before treatment starts.

Dispensing of actionable pharmacogenetic drugs among adults receiving cardiovascular disease medications in the Northern Netherlands: A serial cross‐sectional study

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The extent of pharmacogenetic (PGx) drug dispensing among Dutch adults receiving medications for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unknown. Using the University of Groningen IADB.nl pharmacy database, we performed a serial cross‐sectional study (2019–2023) to estimate the annual prevalence of PGx drug dispensing and annual rates of initiation.

Head and Neck Lymph Node Metastases From Cancer of Unknown Primary: Outcomes From p16‐Guided Mucosal Radiotherapy

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The AJCC 8th edition distinguishes p16‐positive oropharyngeal head and neck carcinoma of unknown primary (HNCUP) due to its superior prognosis. However, standardized radiation volume guidelines are lacking. This study evaluates the safety of p16‐guided mucosal volume reduction.

Mutations at codon 974 of the DPYD gene are a rare event [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Cancer, 1997
A mutation at codon 974 of the dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) gene was previously described in a cancer patient with undetectable DPD enzyme activity who experienced severe toxicity when treated with 5-fluorouracil. We have studied the frequency of this mutation in 29 Scottish subjects with low DPD enzyme activity and in 274 American subjects ...
