The impact of UGT2B7 C802T and CYP3A4*1G polymorphisms on pain relief in cancer patients receiving oxycontin.
Supportive Care in Cancer 2018 August
BACKGROUND: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in UGT2B7 C802T and CYP3A4*1G impact drug metabolism. This study aimed to investigate the impact of these SNPs on the efficacy of oxycontin for pain relief in cancer patients.
METHODS: A total of 57 Han Chinese cancer patients (age range 20-70 years) who received oxycontin to ease pain for the first time were enrolled and divided into two groups (refractory group and remission group) according to pain relief. Peripheral blood samples were collected from each patient for sequencing analysis. The genotype and allele frequency between the two groups were analyzed using the chi-square test.
RESULTS: The T allele frequency of UGT2B7 C802T was 25% among all participants, but was higher (32%) in the refractory group (P = 0.047). The variant allele frequency of CYP3A4*1G was 27% and did not differ between the refractory group and remission group.
CONCLUSION: The palliative effect of oxycontin is better in patients with UGT2B7 802CC than in those with 802TT. CYP3A4*1G SNP is unlikely to affect pain relief efficacy of oxycontin.
