Associations among regorafenib concentrations, severe adverse reactions, and ABCG2 and OATP1B1 polymorphisms.
Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology 2018 October 28
PURPOSE: The ability of predicting severe adverse reactions caused by regorafenib is important. We evaluated regorafenib concentrations for adverse reaction risks and assessed the relevance of laboratory values and gene polymorphisms.
METHODS: A total of 28 Japanese cancer patients who were treated with regorafenib were evaluated for the steady state of serum regorafenib concentrations and adverse reactions for 28 days. In addition, we determined the association of regorafenib concentrations with ABCG2 and OATP1B1 polymorphisms, which are regorafenib transporters.
RESULTS: Regorafenib concentrations were significantly higher in the group with Grade 2 or higher total bilirubin elevation and thrombocytopenia compared with the group with grades 0 or 1 [3.45 (2.18-7.31) vs. 1.76 (0.26-2.77) µg/mL, P = 0.01 and 3.45 (2.12-7.31) vs. 1.76 (0.26-2.77) µg/mL, P = 0.02, respectively]. A strong association was noted between serum regorafenib concentrations and total bilirubin levels, but the physical and genetic factors predicting regorafenib pharmacokinetics could not be clarified.
CONCLUSIONS: Regorafenib concentrations were associated with total bilirubin elevation and thrombocytopenia. Total serum bilirubin could be a useful marker when estimating regorafenib pharmacokinetics.
