1. Influence of CYP2D6 gene polymorphism on the effect of tropisetron in preventing chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting
Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2020;25(7):817-822
Tumors pose a great threat to human health. As a systemic treatment, chemotherapy has held an unshakable position in tumor treatment. Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a common adverse reaction during chemotherapy, which seriously affects patients' mood, quality of life and tumor control. The prevention and treatment of CINV is very important for cancer patients. As a more commonly used 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, tropisetron has a good clinical effect in the prevention and treatment of CINV. However, there are still some patients who do not have a good effect after using tropisetron. More and more studies indicated that these individual differences might be closely related to genetic polymorphisms. In order to provide ideas for clinical individualized medication under the guidance of gene polymorphisms, this article reviewed the influence of CYP2D6 gene polymorphisms on the effect of tropisetron in preventing CINV.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy,safety,and economy of tislelizumab(TIS)as a first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,WanFang Data,SinoMed databases and health technology assessment(HTA)websites were electronically searched to collect the HTA report,systematic review/Meta-analysis and pharmacoeconomic research of TIS as a first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC from the inception to April 30,2024.Two reviewers independently screened literature,extracted data,and evaluated quality,and qualitative descriptive methods were used for rapid health technology assessment(rHTA).Results A total of 9 articles were included,in which 7 systematic review/Meta-analysis and 2 pharmacoeconomic studies.In terms of effectiveness,compared with chemotherapy(CT),TIS+CT could improve the progression free survival(PFS)and objective response rate(ORR)of advanced NSCLC patients.It could also improve PFS in patients with advanced NSCLC who have the any expression of programmed cell death receptor ligand-1(PD-L1),with or without liver metastasis,aged>65 years or<65 years,and with a history of smoking;Compared with CT,TIS+CT could improve the PFS of advanced non squamous NSCLC patients,and could increase the PFS of advanced non squamous NSCLC patients with PD-L1>50%;Compared with CT,TIS+CT could improve the PFS of patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma NSCLC in stages ⅢB and IV,with PD-L1 being 1%-49%,PD-L1>50%,male,age>65 years old,smoking history,ECOG score of 1 point.In terms of safety,compared with camrelizumab+CT and atezolizumab+bevacizumab+CT,TIS+CT could reduce the incidence of serious adverse reactions.In terms of economics,for non squamous NSCLC without epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)mutations and gradual lymphoma kinase(ALK)rearrangements,TIS+CT had certain cost-effectiveness advantages compared to CT in China.The subgroup analysis results showed that the first-line TIS+CT regimen had greater survival benefits in non squamous NSCLC patients with PD-L1 expression>50%,liver metastasis,and a history of smoking.Conclusion TIS+CT first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC has good efficacy,safety,and economy.
