ABSTRACT: Lenvatinib is a substrate of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. In this study, we aimed to evaluate how CYP3A4/5 and ABC transporter polymorphisms affected the mean steady-state dose-adjusted plasma trough concentrations (C0) of lenvatinib in a cohort of 40 Japanese patients with thyroid cancer. CYP3A4 20230G?>?A (*1G), CYP3A5 6986A?>?G (*3), ABCB1 1236C?>?T, ABCB1 2677G?>?T/A, ABCB1 3435C?>?T, ABCC2 -24C?>?T, and ABCG2 421C?>?A genotypes were determined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. In univariate analysis, there were no significant differences in the mean dose-adjusted C0 values of lenvatinib between the ABCB1, ABCG2, and CYP3A5 genotypes. However, the mean dose-adjusted C0 values of lenvatinib in patients with the CYP3A4*1/*1 genotype and ABCC2 -24T allele were significantly higher than those in patients with the CYP3A4*1G allele and -24C/C genotype, respectively (P?=?0.018 and 0.036, respectively). In multivariate analysis, CYP3A4 genotype and total bilirubin were independent factors influencing the dose-adjusted C0 of lenvatinib (P?=?0.010 and 0.046, respectively). No significant differences were found in the incidence rates of hypertension, proteinuria, and hand-foot syndrome following treatment with lenvatinib between the genotypes of CYP3A4/5 and ABC transporters. Lenvatinib pharmacokinetics were significantly influenced by the CYP3A4*1G polymorphism. If the target plasma concentration of lenvatinib for efficacy or toxicity is determined, elucidation of the details of the CYP3A4*1G genotype may facilitate decision-making related to the appropriate initial lenvatinib dosage to achieve optimal plasma concentrations.
