Brief Summary
In this study it will be determined whether the rate of severe toxicity associated with fluoropyrimidine treatment (capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil) can be significantly diminished by individualized dosing of fluoropyrimidines based on upfront phenotypic assessment of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Safety: incidence of severe fluoropyrimidine-related toxicity (CTCAE grade 3 to 5) in wild type patients
Patients with a pre-treatment uracil concentration above 16 ng/ml will be followed until end of treatment (expected average of 1 year). Otherwise, patients will be followed for the first 2 cycles (each cycle is 28 days).
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Safety: incidence of severe treatment-related toxicity (CTCAE grade 3 to 5) in heterozygous carriers of c.1236G>A or c.2846A>T DPYD variants
Patients will be followed during fluoropyrimidine treatment, expected average of 1 year
Assessment of pharmacokinetics: Such profile parameters will include Cmax, Tmax, AUC and elimination half-life
During the first administration of fluoropyrimidine treatment
Cost-effectiveness: medical costs that are made during fluoropyrimidine treatment seen from a health care perspective
Patients will be followed during fluoropyrimidine treatment, expected average of 1 year
Assessment of feasibility of dose titration following an initial dose reduction
During fluoropyrimidine treatment, expected average of 1 year
Assessment of geriatric parameters for grade 3-5 toxicity and/or treatment discontinuation
During fluoropyrimidine treatment, expected average of 1 year
Study Arms (3)
Wild type for DPYD
EXPERIMENTALPatients screened for four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DPYD (DPYD\*2A, c.2846A\>T, c.1236G\>A/HapB3 and DPYD\*13) that are found to be wild type for these SNPs
heterozygous carrier of c.1236G>A or c.2846A>T DPYD variant
EXPERIMENTALPatients screened for four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DPYD (DPYD\*2A, c.2846A\>T, c.1236G\>A/HapB3 and DPYD\*13) that are found to be heterozygous for c.1236G\>A or c.2846A\>T of these SNPs
Homozygous or compound heterozygous carrier of DPYD variants
EXPERIMENTALPatients screened for four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DPYD (DPYD\*2A, c.2846A\>T, c.1236G\>A/HapB3 and DPYD\*13) that are found to be homozygous or compound heterozygous for these SNPs
Interventions
Patients that are found to be wild type and have a pre-treatment uracil concentration above 16 ng/mL will receive a reduced dosage of capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil (50% reduction). The dose will be titrated after 2 cycles , to achieve maximal safe exposure. Patients that are wildtype with a uracil concentration below 16 ng/mL will receive a normal (full) dose.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Pathologically confirmed malignancy for which treatment with a fluoropyrimidine is considered to be in the patient's best interest
- Patient need to be of Western descent
- Age ≥ 18
- Able and willing to give written informed consent
- WHO performance status of 0, 1 or 2
- Able and willing to undergo extra blood sampling for study related analysis
- Adequate baseline patient characteristics, in the opinion of the treating physician (complete blood count, hepatic function which involves serum bilirubin, AST, ALT, and renal function)
You may not qualify if:
- Prior treatment with fluoropyrimidines
- Patients with known substance abuse, psychotic disorders, and/or other diseases expected to interfere with study or the patient's safety in the opinion of the treating physician
- Patients treated with the combination of a fluoropyrimidine and irinotecan
