Abstract 2642
Background
About 20% of breast cancer (BC) patients do not attain tamoxifen’s (TAM) active metabolite endoxifen (ENDX) target concentrations when receiving 20 mg TAM once daily (q.d.). Thus, individualised dosing of up to 120 mg TAM q.d. for ENDX target attainment (TA) has been proposed. Combining concentrations and antiestrogenic activities of ENDX and its 3 precursors, the antiestrogenic activity score (AAS) has been developed as alternative TA metric. We aimed to integrate experimental and clinical data from diverse sources in an innovative modelling approach to identify patient groups at risk of treatment failure and to assess whether ENDX- or AAS-guided dosing would be more favourable for TA applying in silico simulation.
Methods
In vitro data from enzyme kinetic experiments, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters from previous clinical studies and in vivo data from three clinical trials were synthesised into a minimal nonlinear mixed-effects physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (NLME-PBPK) model. Using simulation, lowest doses needed for TA, applying either the ENDX (≥5.97 ng/mL) or the AAS (≥1798) threshold, were investigated in a representative virtual BC population with various CYP2D6 activity scores (AS) and age.
Results
The developed NLME-PBPK model captured individual TAM and 3 metabolite concentration profiles from 406 BC patients well. Bioactivation to ENDX was 4.5-fold higher in CYP2D6 normal (NM) than in poor metabolisers (PM). Patients with low CYP2D6 activity and young age showed highest risks for ENDX non-TA. Among all patients, 76% received the same dose irrespective of the TA metric used. For the remaining 23% with different dose selections, applying the AAS instead of the ENDX target, TA increased in NM and intermediate metabolisers (IM) (+21.7% and +6.9%, respectively), while TA decreased in PM (-11.7%).
Conclusions
Our modelling approach combined pharmacogenetic factors, physiological changes and variability on PK parameters in a quantitative manner and allowed to translate PK information on TAM and its three major metabolites into individualised dosing. While ENDX-guided dosing was preferable for PM in our simulation, AAS-guided dosing was superior for NM and IM.
