The protocol was designed to test the associations between CYP2D6, CYP3A5 genotypes and phenotypes (extensive metabolizer [EM], intermediate metabolizer [IM] and poor metabolizer [PM]) and TAM, N-desmethyl tamoxifen (NDMT), endoxifen (END) and 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4OHT) concentrations.Patients and methods: One hundred and thirty-four Thai breast cancer patients from the Thai Tamoxifen Project undergoing TAM treatment who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were recruited. Plasma samples were assessed for the concentrations of TAM and its metabolites using high-performance liquid chromatography. The data are presented as actual values and metabolic ratios (MR). The hypotheses were tested using Kruskal–Wallis or Mann–Whitney U test, including the simple main effects analysis.Results: The patients had stage 0–IV breast cancer. The mean age and body mass index were 51.6±11.6 years and 24.0±4.3, respectively. Also, 53.0% of them were premenopausal, 10.4% were perimenopausal and 36.6% were postmenopausal, while 23.1% were CYP2D6-EM/CYP3A5-EM and 20.9% carried only CYP2D6 and CYP3A5 incomplete alleles. The median concentrations of TAM, NDMT, END and 4OHT were 374.7 (interquartile range [IQR] 230.2) ng/mL, 1,064.9 (IQR 599.6) ng/mL, 54.5 (IQR 52.5) ng/mL and 5.0 (IQR 3.1) ng/mL, respectively. MR (TAM-NDMT) and MR (NDMT-END) were statistically different (p=0.013 and p=0.014, respectively), while MR (4OHT-END) was not statistically different within the CYP2D6 phenotype (p=0.594). MR (TAM-4OHT) was not statistically different within the CYP2D6 phenotype (p=0.079), but it was potentially different from CYP3A5-PM (p=0.056). None of the MR was statistically different within the CYP3A5 phenotype.Conclusion: CYP2D6 polymorphisms appear to affect END concentration through an NDMT subpathway and potentially affect 4OHT concentrations through a 4OHT subpathway in CYP3A5-PM group.
