ABSTRACT: Purpose
Paclitaxel is a widely used anticancer therapeutic. Peripheral neuropathy is the dose-limiting toxicity and negatively impacts quality of life. Rare germline gene markers were evaluated for predicting severe taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN) in the patients of European ancestry. In addition, the impact of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5 metabolizer status on likelihood of severe TIPN was also assessed.Experimental design
Whole-exome sequencing analyses were performed in 340 patients of European ancestry who received a standard dose and schedule of paclitaxel in the adjuvant, randomized phase III breast cancer trial, E5103. Patients who experienced grade 3-4 (n = 168) TIPN were compared to controls (n = 172) who did not experience TIPN. For th
