Consenso español para la prevención y el tratamiento de la infección bronquial por Pseudomonas aeruginosa en el paciente con fibrosis quística

2015

Resumen Pseudomonas aeruginosa es el patogeno mas importante en la infeccion broncopulmonar en fibrosis quistica (FQ). Solo se erradica en la infeccion inicial, mientras que la reduccion de su carga bacteriana es el objetivo terapeutico en la infeccion cronica y exacerbaciones. El cribado neonatal y la farmacocinetica/farmacodinamica han cambiado el manejo del paciente con FQ. Se debe realizar un seguimiento microbiologico en los pacientes sin infeccion por P. aeruginosa. En la infeccion inicial se recomienda tratamiento inhalado (28 dias) con colistina (0,5-2 MU/8 h), tobramicina (300 mg/12 h) o aztreonam (75 mg/8 h) con o sin ciprofloxacino oral (15-20 mg/kg/12 h, 2-3 semanas). En la infe…

Impact of NADPH oxidase functional polymorphisms in acute myeloid leukemia induction chemotherapy.

2016

Efficacy and toxicity of anthracycline treatment in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). NADPH oxidase is the major endogenous source of ROS and a key mediator of oxidative cardiac damage. The impact of NADPH oxidase polymorphisms (CYBA:rs4673, NCF4:rs1883112, RAC2:rs13058338) was evaluated in 225 adult de novo AML patients. Variant alleles of NCF4 and RAC2 were related to higher complete remission (P=0.035, P=0.016), and CYBA homozygous variant showed lower overall survival with recessive model (P=0.045). Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity was associated to NCF4 homozygous variant (P=0.012) and CYBA heterozygous genotype (P=0.027). Novel associations…

Impact of novel polymorphisms related to cytotoxicity of cytarabine in the induction treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

Increased Hospital Stay and Allograft Disfunction in Renal Transplant Recipients with Cyp2c19 AA Variant in SNP rs4244285

2012

Pharmacogenetics correlates certain genetic variants, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), with blood drug levels, efficacy, and adverse effects of the treatment. Tacrolimus is mainly metabolized via CYP3A4/5, whereas CYP2C19 and CYP3A4/5 are responsible for omeprazole metabolism. Omeprazole inhibits tacrolimus metabolism via CYP3A5 in patients carrying variant alleles of CYP2C19, increasing tacrolimus blood concentrations. Seventy-five renal transplant recipients treated with tacrolimus and concomitant omeprazole were genotyped in a panel of 37 SNPs with use of Sequenom MassArray. The patients with CYP2C19*2/*2 genotype (n = 4) showed a median posttransplantation hospital stay o…

SNPs and taxane toxicity in breast cancer patients

2014

Aim: In order to identify genetic variants associated with taxanes toxicity, a panel with 47 SNPs in 20 genes involved in taxane pathways was designed. Patients & methods: Genomic DNA of 113 breast cancer patients was analyzed (70 taking docetaxel, 43 taking paclitaxel). Results: Two SNPs associated with docetaxel toxicity were identified: CYP3A4*1B with infusion-related reactions; and ERCC1 Gln504Lys with mucositis (p ≤ 0.01). Regarding paclitaxel toxicity: CYP2C8 HapC and CYP2C8 rs1934951 were associated with anemia; and ERCC1 Gln504Lys with neuropathy (p ≤ 0.01). Conclusion: Genes involved in DNA repair mechanisms and reactive oxygen species levels influence taxane toxicity in cance…

PKP-020 Impact of nadph oxidase functional polymorphisms in acute myeloid leukaemia induction chemotherapy

2016

Background NADPH oxidase, a key mediator of oxidative cardiac damage and remodelling, modulates anthracycline clinical cardiotoxicity. Purpose Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of NADPH oxidase genes could lead to interindividual differences in treatment outcome in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients. Material and methods The main three NADPH oxidase polymorphisms (CYBA:rs4673, NCF4:rs1883112 and RAC2:rs13058338) were evaluated in 225 adult patients at the initial diagnosis of AML using a mass spectrometry based multiplex genotyping assay (Sequenom).

Impact of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) on Immunosuppressive Therapy in Lung Transplantation.

2015

Lung transplant patients present important variability in immunosuppressant blood concentrations during the first months after transplantation. Pharmacogenetics could explain part of this interindividual variability. We evaluated SNPs in genes that have previously shown correlations in other kinds of solid organ transplantation, namely ABCB1 and CYP3A5 genes with tacrolimus (Tac) and ABCC2, UGT1A9 and SLCO1B1 genes with mycophenolic acid (MPA), during the first six months after lung transplantation (51 patients). The genotype was correlated to the trough blood drug concentrations corrected for dose and body weight (C0/Dc). The ABCB1 variant in rs1045642 was associated with significantly hig…

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the impact of WT1 polymorphism rs16754 in the effectiveness of standard chemotherapy in patients with acute …

2015

The polymorphism rs16754 of the WT1 gene has been described as a possible prognostic marker in different acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cohorts; however, it is not supported by all the studies. We performed the first meta-analysis evaluating the effect of this polymorphism upon the effectiveness of standard AML therapy. Fourteen cohort studies were included (3618 patients). Patients with the variant allele showed a significant higher overall survival (OS) at 5 years (OR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.06-1.45, P = 0.007, with dominant model). WT1 did not influence complete remission, but a higher disease-free survival was observed with the variant allele. In the subgroup analysis, Caucasians, pediatric and …

Genotype and Allele Frequencies of Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes and Drug Transporter Genes Affecting Immunosuppressants in the Spanish White Population

2013

Interpatient variability in drug response can be widely explained by genetically determined differences in metabolizing enzymes, drug transporters, and drug targets, leading to different pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic behaviors of drugs. Genetic variations affect or do not affect drug responses depending on their influence on protein activity and the relevance of such proteins in the pathway of the drug. Also, the frequency of such genetic variations differs among populations, so the clinical relevance of a specific variation is not the same in all of them. In this study, a panel of 33 single nucleotide polymorphisms in 14 different genes (ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCG2, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, CYP2C…

PKP-003 Influence of cytarabine metabolic pathway polymorphisms in effectiveness of acute myeloid leukaemia induction treatment

2017

Background Cytarabine is considered the most effective chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Purpose Several studies suggest that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involving the metabolic pathway of cytarabine could influence treatment outcomes, although their clinical relevance remains undetermined.

Spanish Consensus on the Prevention and Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bronchial Infections in Cystic Fibrosis Patients

2014

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the main pathogen in bronchopulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. It can only be eradicated at early infection stages while reduction of its bacterial load is the therapeutic goal during chronic infection or exacerbations. Neonatal screening and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic knowledge has modified the management of CF-patients. A culture based microbiological follow-up should be performed in patients with no infection with P. aeruginosa. At initial infection, inhaled colistin (0,5-2 MU/tid), tobramycin (300 mg/bid) or aztreonam (75 mg/tid) with or without oral ciprofloxacin (15-20 mg/kg/bid, 2-3 weeks) are recommended. In chronic infections, trea…

Selection of optimal prophylactic aminoglycoside dosage in cancer patients: population pharmacokinetic approaches.

1994

We report an alternative dose-finding approach for the selection of optimal prophylactic aminoglycoside dosage in specific (sub)populations of patients. Relative a priori utility of several intervals of gentamicin or tobramycin (AMG) peak and trough serum levels were assigned by a group of pharmacokinetics experts, assuming prophylactic administration for laryngectomy interventions. A group of 27 adult patients, with normal renal function, undergoing elective surgery for laryngeal problems and treated prophylactically with gentamicin (80 mg t.i.d.) or tobramycin (100 mg t.i.d.) was studied. Two blood samples (peak and trough) were drawn at steady-state for AMG assay. Three different methods…

Pharmacogenomics and the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

2016

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and biologically heterogeneous malignancy that is primarily treated with combinations of cytarabine and anthracyclines. Although this scheme remains effective in most of the patients, variability of outcomes in patients has been partly related with their genetic variability. Several pharmacogenetic studies have analyzed the impact of polymorphisms in genes encoding transporters, metabolizers or molecular targets of chemotherapy agents. A systematic review on all eligible studies was carried out in order to estimate the effect of polymorphisms of anthracyclines and cytarabine pathways on efficacy and toxicity of AML treatment. Other emerging gene…

Bayesian pharmacokinetic-guided prophylaxis with recombinant factor VIII in severe or moderate haemophilia A

2018

Introduction: Personalised pharmacokinetics (PK) using Bayesian analysis with limited sampling is assumed to help to optimise prophylaxis in haemophilia A (HA) patients. Materials and methods: Our prospective, observational study analysed the influence of PK parameters on clinical variables (bleeding rates, joint status, adherence, and consumption) using myPKFiT (R) in a cohort of twenty-one severe and moderate HA patients on prophylaxis with recombinant FVIII (Advate (R)) in two periods of one year, the first before PK-based tailoring and the second after PK-guided prophylaxis. Intra-individual and inter-individual coefficients of variation (CV) of half-life (t(1/2)) were calculated. Resul…

Influence of ABCB1 polymorphisms upon the effectiveness of standard treatment for acute myeloid leukemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of ob…

2015

The ABCB1 gene encodes for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an efflux pump for a variety of xenobiotics. The role of ABCB1 polymorphisms in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) outcomes of standard chemotherapy (cytarabine plus anthracyclines) remains controversial. A systematic search was made of studies evaluating the association between ABCB1 polymorphisms 1236C>T, 2677G>T/A and 3435C>T and effectiveness variables. We found seven cohort studies (1241 patients) showing a significantly higher overall survival (OS) among carriers of the variant allele of 1236C>T at year 4 (odds ratio (OR): 1.47, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07-2.01), 2677G>T/A at years 4-5 (OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.01-1.86) and 3435C>T at year…

Impact ofABCsingle nucleotide polymorphisms upon the efficacy and toxicity of induction chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia

2016

Anthracycline uptake could be affected by efflux pumps of the ABC family. The influence of 7 SNPs of ABC genes was evaluated in 225 adult de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. After multivariate logistic regression there were no significant differences in complete remission, though induction death was associated to ABCB1 triple variant haplotype (p = .020). The ABCB1 triple variant haplotype was related to higher nephrotoxicity (p = .016), as well as this haplotype and the variant allele of ABCB1 rs1128503, rs2032582 to hepatotoxicity (p = .001; p = .049; p  .001). Furthermore, the variant allele of ABCC1 rs4148350 was related to severe hepatotoxicity (p = .044), and the variant al…

Pharmacogenetics of Metabolic Genes of Anthracyclines in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

2018

Background Anthracyclines in combination with cytarabine have been the standard therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for decades with high efficacy. However, the majority of patients will show initial resistance or will relapse after initial complete remission. Genetic variability in genes involved in anthracyclines metabolic pathway could be one of the causes of the interindividual differences in clinical outcomes. Methods A systematic review of published studies in AML cohorts was carried out in order to analyze the influence of polymorphisms in genes of anthracycline metabolism on efficacy and toxicity. Results Polymorphisms in the main enzymes of anthracyclines metabolism (CBR, AKR,…
