Kaplan–Meier analyses for an association between (Z)-endoxifen concentrations, metabolic ratio (MR) Desmethyltamoxifen (DM-Tam)/(Z)-endoxifen or CYP2D6 phenotype score and distant relapse-free survival (DRFS) in the POSH cohort. Kaplan–Meier analyses for DRFS and the three predictor variables classified into groups. (a) Steady-state endoxifen concentrations split into four equally-sized patient groups (<14.1, 14.1–24.7, 24.7–35 and >35 nM), (b) MR DM-Tam/(Z)-endoxifen classified by conditional inference trees into three splits (<31, 31–115 and >115), (c) CYP2D6 phenotypes grouped into EM (plus UM), hetEM and PM. Corresponding Mantel–Cox log-rank tests are stratified for ethnicity. EM, extensive metabolizer; hetEM/IM, heterozygous EM/IM; IM, intermediate metabolizer; PM, poor metabolizer; POSH, Prospective study of Outcomes in Sporadic versus Hereditary breast cancer; UM, ultra rapid metabolizer.
