Classification of Adverse Drug Reactions




ON TARGET
     • Predictable from the known primary or secondary
     pharmacology of the drug
     • Exaggeration of the pharmacological effect of the drug
     • Clear dose-dependent relationship

OFF TARGET
      • These are not predictable from a knowledge of the basic
      pharmacology of the drug
      • Exhibit marked inter-individual susceptibility (idiosyncratic)
      • Complex dose dependence

prescribers about adverse drug reactions that can cause serious injury or
death. An issue here is the benefit/risk ratio.

Irinotecan Metabolism & Toxicity

Irinotecan (Campostar®) is a topoisomerase-I inhibitor pro-drug widely used for
treatment of metastatic and recurrent colorectal cancer

The most common dose-limiting adverse effects of irinotecan are neutropenia &
diarrhoea

UGT normally conjugates to & increases hydrophilicity of bilirubin, drugs &
xenobiotics

Variations in uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene may
help predict which patients develop adverse effects

Frequency of the inactive allele varies:
        African (43%), European (39%) Asian(16%)

Conclusions

 Understanding the complex mechanisms of DILI requires an integrated bioanalytical
 approach – DMPK, genomics, metabolomics & proteomics

 Understanding mechanisms of DILI will assist with

          Identifying biochemical risk factors

          Developing biomarkers of efficacy & toxicity

          Using potentially toxic drugs more safely

 Off-target idiosyncratic drug toxicity cannot be predicted from the chemistry of the
 drug and/or its metabolite because such reactions are by definition (largely) a function
 of the biology of the individual.

  • 35. Systemic chemotherapy causes hepatotoxicity Normal Steatohepatitis (Irinotecan) • 19-79% incidence of sinusiodal injury with oxaliplatin vs 5FU alone • steatosis 30-47% patients treated with 5FU • Irinotecan ~20% incidence of steatohepatitis vs 4.4% • ~15% increase in 90 day mortality with SOS (Oxaliplatin) steatohepatitis
  • 36. Chemotherapy-induced liver damage Oxaliplatin Irinotecan Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome causes Steatohepatitis causes an increase in 90 increased operative bleeding but no day operative mortality increase in operative mortality ‘Blue’ liver ‘Yellow’ liver
  • 37. Systemic chemotherapy causes hepatotoxicity Steatohepatitis (Irinotecan) Steatosis • Impaired hepatic defence • Enhanced oxidative stress • BMI is an independent risk factor in steatohepatitis
  • 38. Systemic chemotherapy causes hepatotoxicity SOS (Oxaliplatin) • Drug kills endothelial cells • Leads to sinusoidal disruption • Activation of hepatic stellate cells • Matrix deposition • Sloughing of erythrocytes & blebbing of cytoplasmic processes
  • 39. Conclusions Understanding the complex mechanisms of DILI requires an integrated bioanalytical approach – DMPK, genomics, metabolomics & proteomics Understanding mechanisms of DILI will assist with Identifying biochemical risk factors Developing biomarkers of efficacy & toxicity Using potentially toxic drugs more safely Off-target idiosyncratic drug toxicity cannot be predicted from the chemistry of the drug and/or its metabolite because such reactions are by definition (largely) a function of the biology of the individual.

  5. The physiological role of the liver is hepatic clearance.Interference with this process, can itself be a cause of DILIDawson et al quantified the inhibition of BSEP ABCB 11 by 85 pharmaceuticals using taurochalate uptake in inverted plasma membrane vesicles from Sf 21 cells which express these proteins.Overall they found that inhibition of both human BSEP and the rat ortholog (rBsep) correlates with the propensitiyOf numerous pharmaceuticals to cause to cause cholestatic DILI
  6. What are we trying to predict?
  7. We believe that neoadjuvant chemotherapy is beneficial for patients undergoing resection of colorectal liver metastases. These data are from the EORTC study, where 364 patients with resectable colorectal hepatic metastases were randomized to six cycles of neoadjuvant FOLFOX, followed by surgery and six further cycles of chemotherapy, or surgery alone. Those who received perioperative chemotherapy and were resected had a 9.2% improvement in 3-year disease-free survival.
  8. However, there is growing recognition that preoperative systemic chemotherapy can adversely affect normal hepatic parenchyma. Patients who receive systemic oxaliplatin are more likely to develop sinusoidal obstructive syndrome, whilst those treated with Irinotecan are more likely to developed steatosis and steatohepatitis. Sinusoidal obstructive syndrome is associated with increased intraoperative bleeding, but no increase in morbidity and mortality. Steatohepatitis is associated with increased post-operative morbidty, and Vauthey at el demonstrated a strong correlation between steatohepatitis and 90-day mortality after resection.
