Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotypes on clinical outcomes of docetaxel treatment. In the PROMIX trial, 150 breast cancer patients received docetaxel preoperatively. CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotype combinations were transformed into total CYP 3A phenotypes. Seven patients were characterized as poor metabolizer (PM), 22 patients as extensive metabolizer and 121 patients as intermediate metabolizer.The frequency of grade 3/grade 4 adverse events was higher in the PM group (p=0.002). One PM subject who basically lacked enzyme activity died from typhlitis. Total45recurrences were reported after a median of 5-year follow-up; none of these was PM. The allelic variants CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 contribute to the interpatient variations of docetaxel.
