Cytochrome P450 2B6*5 Increases Relapse after Cyclophosphamide-Containing Conditioning and Autologous Transplantation for Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Cyclophosphamide (Cy) is a prodrug that depends on bioactivation by hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes for its cytotoxicity. We evaluated the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP enzymes on the efficacy of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for lymphoma. SNPs of 22 genes were analyzed in 93 patients with Hodgkin (n = 52) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 41) treated with high-dose Cy followed by autologous HCT between 2004 and 2012. Preparative regimens contained Cy (120 mg/kg) combined with carmustine/etoposide (n = 61) or Cy (6000 mg/m(2)) with total body irradiation (n = 32). Lack of complete remission as measured by pretransplant positron emission tomography was the sole clinical factor associated with increased risk of relapse (HR, 2.1). In genomi
