Drug List and Drug Selection
PharmGKB accessed on October 1, 2016. The following cancer treatment-related drug terms were identified through the PharmGKB Clinical Annotations list: Alkylating agents, anthracyclines and related substances, antineoplastic agents, azathioprine, capecitabine, carboplatin, cetuximab, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, docetaxel, epirubicin, erlotinib, etoposide, fluorouracil, gefitinib, gemcitabine, irinotecan, lapatinib, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, panitumumab, platinum, platinum compounds, purine analogs, pyrimidine analogs, radiotherapy, rituximab, SN-38, sunitinib, tamoxifen, tegafur, thioguanine, trastuzumab.
The following cancer drug terms were included in the search term: Anthracycline, daunorubicin, doxorubicin, idarubicin, mitoxantrone, valrubicin, capecitabine, carboplatin, cetuximab, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, docetaxel, epirubicin, erlotinib, etoposide, fluorouracil, gefitinib, gemcitabine, irinotecan, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, radiotherapy, rituximab, sunitinib, tamoxifen, tegafur, thioguanine, trastuzumab, lapatinib, panitumumab, fludarabine, cladribine, clofarabine, nelarabine, pentostatin, azacitidine, cytarabine, decitabine, purine, pyrimidine.
When drug classes were listed, all drugs within that class were included as categorized within PharmGKB. The only time this was not done was for antineoplastic agents and alkylating agents because they are a broad class description. The PharmGKB Clinical Annotations page was checked for antineoplastic agents with respect to gene TP53 mutations, and relevant agents are on the included drug list: Cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, fluorouracil, paclitaxel.
PharmGKB Clinical Annotations page was checked for alkylating agents with respect to gene NQO1 mutations and the relevant agent is on the list: cyclophosphamide.
PharmGKB lists the following as anthracyclines: Daunorubicin, doxorubicin, idarubicin, mitoxantrone, valrubicin.
PharmGKB lists the following as purine analogs: Azathioprine, cladribine, clofarabine, fludarabine, mercaptopurine, nelarabine, thioguanine, pentostatin. Azathioprine is not indicated for cancer treatment and therefore excluded from the list.
PharmGKB lists the following as pyrimidine analogs: Azacitidine, capecitabine, cytarabine, decitabine, fluorouracil, gemcitabine, tegafur.
PharmGKB lists the following as platinum compounds: Oxaliplatin, carboplatin, cisplatin.
Platinum and platinum compounds were not included in the search as only 3 drugs are in this class and inclusion of these terms is redundant. SN-38 is excluded because it is the active metabolite of irinotecan and inclusion would be redundant.
