Early increase in tamoxifen dose in CYP2D6 poor metaboliser breast cancer patients and survival: A propensity score matching analysis

Purpose: Tamoxifen is a drug used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancers, primarily metabolised by the CYP2D6 enzyme into active metabolites such as endoxifen. CYP2D6 displays varying degrees of activity depending on its genotype. This study aims to analyse the effect of an early increase in t...

description Purpose: Tamoxifen is a drug used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancers, primarily metabolised by the CYP2D6 enzyme into active metabolites such as endoxifen. CYP2D6 displays varying degrees of activity depending on its genotype. This study aims to analyse the effect of an early increase in tamoxifen dose in poor metabolisers (PM) on survival. Methods: We enrolled 220 patients diagnosed with breast cancer who were treated with tamoxifen. CYP2D6 polymorphisms were determined, and the phenotype was estimated according to the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analysed considering the entire patient group, and a subgroup of 110 patients selected by Propensity Score Matching (PSM). All women were treated with 20 mg/day of tamoxifen for 5 years, except PM, who initially received 20 mg/day for 4 months, followed by 40 mg/day for 4 months and 60 mg/day for 4 months before returning to the standard dose of 20 mg/day until completing 5 years of treatment. Results: The analysis of the influence of CYP2D6 polymorphisms in the complete group and in the PSM subgroup revealed no significant differences for DFS or OS. Furthermore, DFS and OS were analysed in relation to various covariates such as age, histological grade, nodal status, tumour size, HER-2, Ki-67, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Only age, histological grade, nodal status, and chemotherapy treatment demonstrated statistical significance. Conclusion: An early increase in tamoxifen dose in PM patients is not associated with survival differences among CYP2D6 phenotypes.
