OBJECTIVES: Tamoxifen is a prodrug that undergoes cytochrome P450(CYP)-mediated bioactivation to its active metabolite endoxifen, primarily due to CYP2D6. We aimed to investigate the clinical impact of CYP2D6 phenotype on the conversion of tamoxifen to endoxifen as well as the interplay of genetic variation and drug interactions.
METHODS: Samples were analyzed from a cohort of 932 breast cancer patients on tamoxifen therapy. CYP2D6 phenotype, tamoxifen, endoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen, and N-desmethyl tamoxifen plasma concentrations and antidepressant CYP2D6 inhibitor use were analyzed.
KEY FINDINGS: There was a significant effect of CYP2D6 phenotype and CYP2D6 inhibitor use on endoxifen concentrations (pinteraction < 0.05). CYP2D6 inhibition was predictive of patients who attained plasma endoxifen concentrations below the 16 nM and 9 nM threshold. CYP2D6 poor metabolizers and CYP2D6 normal or intermediate metabolizers on strong CYP2D6 inhibitors had the largest proportion of patients below an endoxifen threshold of 16 or 9 nM.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients on tamoxifen should avoid strong CYP2D6 inhibitors as their endoxifen concentrations are similar to CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. The utility of endoxifen concentrations and which threshold to consider in clinical practice remains unclear. Ultimately, the clinical impact of mild or moderate CYP2D6 inhibitors on CYP2D6 normal or intermediate metabolizer depends on the endoxifen threshold applied.
