Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Aim of work: 1. To estimate the frequency of Cyp2D6\*1 and \*4 alleles in Egyptian patients maintained on tamoxifen (20 mg/day) for management of ER +ve breast cancer. 2. To measure levels of tamoxifen, 4-hydroxy tamoxifen, N-desmethyl-tamoxifen and 4- hydroxyl-N-desmethyl-tamoxifen (endoxifen) in the serum of these patients. 3. To correlate between the levels of tamoxifen/active metabolite enoxifen ratio and CYP2D6\*1,\*4 genotyping. 4. To investigate which is more valuable investigatory tool for prediction of the clinical outcome (response and/or toxicity) in these patients; either the measurements related to pharmacokinetics: tamoxifen/endoxifen levels or the pharmacogenetic analysis of CYP2D6 \*1,\*4.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (3)
- label
- responding
- description
- patients who received Tamoxifen 20 mg daily for at least 3 years with good response (no relapse) to tamoxifen. Both genotyping assessment and TDM of tamoxifen and its metabolites will be performed and correlated with the records. Follow up for these patients for further assessment of tamoxifen effectiveness will be carried out for 1- 2 years.
- interventionNames
- Drug: Tamoxifen 20 mg
- label
- relapse
- description
- patients who received Tamoxifen 20 mg daily for at least 3 years who were good responder to the drug but then the response has been diminished (relapse) and they have been shifted to another therapy. They will be exposed to genotyping study of CYP 2D6 to recognize the phenotyping style of that patient that may explain diminishing of response to tamoxifen therapy.
- interventionNames
- Drug: Tamoxifen 20 mg
- label
- tamoxifen resistant
- description
- patients who received Tamoxifen 20 mg daily for not more than 1 year with poor response to tamoxifen (early relapse) and clinically will be shifted to use another medication as they were diagnosed as tamoxifen resistant. Like the second group, they will be exposed to genotyping study of CYP2D6 with the same concept.

Inclusion Criteria: * Premenopausal patients will be included in this study, with hormone receptor positive tumors. * The hormone receptor positive tumor is diagnosed by microscopic examination if ≥ 10% of the cells are positive for estrogen by immunohistochemistry analysis. * All patients with normal hepatic and renal function, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase (≤2 upper normal limit) and serum creatinine (≤1.2 mg/dl). Exclusion Criteria: * Patients treated with other hormonal therapy, radiation or chemotherapy will be excluded from the study. * Pregnant or breast feeding women will be excluded from the study. * Patients who are taking drugs that are known to inhibit CYP2D6 activity as SSRIs will be excluded from the study.
