Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of genetic polymorphisms of drug metabolizing enzymes on the pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide and its active metabolite, 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, and on the pharmacodynamics. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: One hundred and three Japanese patients with malignant lymphoma or breast cancer treated with cyclophosphamide (500-750 mg/m) participated in this study. The plasma concentrations...
