Research Abstract |
We examined the relationships between pharmacokinetics and genetic polymorphsims as well as adverse events in patients treated with molecular targeted anticancer agents. The genetic variation (421C>A) of ABCG2, an efflux transporter, was related to increased sunitinib exposure, resulting in the development of side effects. Furthermore, erlotinib-related rash was closely associated with plasma erlotinib level. These findings suggest that therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacogenomic analysis help to prevent adverse events in cancer patients with molecular targeted therapy.
