Effectiveness and safety of reduced‐dose fluoropyrimidine therapy in patients carrying the DPYD*2A variant: A matched pair analysis
28 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Carriers of the genetic DPYD*2A variant, resulting in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency, are at significantly increased risk of developing severe fluoropyrimidine-associated toxicity. Upfront DPYD*2A genotype-based dose reductions improve patient safety, but uncertainty exists whether this has a negative impact on treatment effectiveness. Therefore, our study investigated effectiveness and safety of...
