Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether the CYP3A4/5 and ABC transporter genetic polymorphisms could affect the pharmacokinetics of lenvatinib in Chinese healthy subjects. METHODS Thirty-two healthy Chinese volunteers were enrolled and took oral administration of 8 mg lenvatinib. Plasma concentration of lenvatinib was determined by UPLC-MS/MS, the CYP3A4*1G, CYP3A5*3, ABCB1 (3435 C>T, 1236 C>T, 2677 G>T/A), ABCG2 (421 C>A, 34 G>A), and ABCC2-24 C>T genotypes were determined by SnapShot Technique. RESULTS In ABCB1 3435T carriers (n = 19), AUC0-120h (815.7 (701.9-923.9) ng·h/mL) and AUC0-∞ (843.3 (722.2-977.7) ng·h/mL) were significantly higher than ABCB1 3435CC homozygous subjects (n = 13, 575.3 (513.7-756.9) ng·h/mL and 590.0 (540.5-782.0) ng·h/mL, respectively); on the contrary, the clearance (CL/F) of ABCB1 3435T carriers was significantly lower (9.5 (8.2-11.1) L/h vs. 13.6 (10.4-14.8) L/h). And the Cmax in CYP3A4*1G/*1G allele carrier subjects was higher than *1 carrier (73.4 ng/mL vs. 53.5 (46.1-60.6) ng/mL), but did not reach the level of significantly statistical difference. Genetic polymorphisms of ABCC2, ABCG2, and CYP3A5 could not influence pharmacokinetic parameters of lenvatinib. CONCLUSIONS This work presented an evidence that the ABCB1 3435 C>T polymorphism could significantly affect the exposure and clearance of lenvatinib. These findings may explain the reasons for the huge inter-individual differences in lenvatinib, and should contribute to clinical individualized treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE This exploratory study aimed to explain the interindividual variabilities of docetaxel pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in Asian nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (n = 54) through the genotyping of CYP3A4, CYP3A5, ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCG2 and SLCO1B3 genes. METHODS Docetaxel was administered over 1 h on days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days at 30 mg/m(2)/dose. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood and genotyped for the selected polymorphisms in the candidate genes. Docetaxel pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated by non-compartmental modelling. RESULTS Patients homozygous for the variant allele (GG) of SLCO1B3 rs11045585 (IVS12-5676A > G) had significantly higher area under the plasma concentration-time curve of docetaxel (P = 0.026) and lower clearance (P = 0.036) compared to patients with AA/AG genotypes. Patients harbouring the heterozygous genotype (GA + GT + TA) for ABCB1 rs2032582 (2677G > T/A) had the highest percentage decrease in nadir haemoglobin from cycle 1 baseline compared to those with GG/TT genotypes (P = 0.006). Similar trend was observed for ABCB1 rs1045642 (3435C > T) with heterozygotes (CT) having the highest percentage decrease in nadir haemoglobin from cycle 1 baseline compared to those with CC/TT genotypes (P = 0.066). CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the cooperative influence of functional polymorphisms in SLCO1B3 and ABCB1 genes may be responsible for the interindividual variability in docetaxel disposition in Asian nasopharyngeal cancer patients.
