FUSAFE individual patient data meta-analysis (MA) to assess the performance of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) gene polymorphisms for predicting grade 4-5 fluoropyrimidine (FP) toxicity

Abstract

Abstract Background Despite decades of research, performance of DPYD genotyping to predict FP toxicity (tox) is poorly documented. GPCO-UNICANCER and RNPGx groups initiated the FUSAFE MA on individual patient data (IPD) to assess the prognostic value of consensual deleterious DPYD variants on grade (G) 4-5 FP tox. Methods Eligibility criteria included unbiased recruitment of Caucasian patients (pts) without FP dose adjustment based on DPD status. Main endpoint was 12 weeks hematological or digestive G4-5 tox. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), advanced stage (M- vs M+), FP drug (5FU vs capecitabine), FP administration (bolus±continuous vs continuous alone or p.o.) and associated anticancer drugs (AAD) were collected. Multivariable logistic models were applied. Performance was assessed by AUC and diagnostic indices maximizing Youden index. Results From the 18 identified eligible studies (10230 pts), 14 were included (9030 pts), with complete IPD collected for 6403 pts (84% colorectal, 16% M+, 66% 5FU, 80% AAD). G4-5 tox prevalence was 8% (518 events). DPYD variants *2A, D949V, *13 and HapB3 were carried by 0.9%, 1.2%, 0.2% and 3.9% of pts, respectively. The clinical model (M1) retained age, sex, BMI, FP-administration, AAD. Adding variants *2A/D949V/*13 (at least one mutated allele) significantly (p Table . 569P Model AUC (area under the curve) Sensitivity Specificity Positive predictive value Negative predictive value M1 0.725 69.7% 65.4% 15.1% 96.1% M2 0.750 75.5% 62.8% 15.2% 96.7% M3 0.752 76.4% 61.9% 15.0% 96.8% Conclusions This is the largest MA on DPYD genotyping and toxicity. It shows the relevance of clinical variables and of the 3 consensual DPYD variants. Despite its association with tox, HapB3 does not improve the discriminant ability to identify pts at risk of G4-5 toxicity.
