Table 3. MAGMA gene analyses for individual toxicities.
| Toxicity | Treatment group | Gene | P-value | Validation chemo P-value | Validation cetuximab status P-value | Pooled P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neutropenia | FOLFOX | RPL17-C18orf32 | 8.9 × 10−7 | .57 | .53 | — |
| C18orf32 | 1.3 × 10−6 | .56 | .51 | — | ||
| RPL17 | 1.5 × 10−6 | .56 | .52 | — | ||
| XELOX | MROH5 | 6.6 × 10 −7 | 3.3 × 10 −2 | .09 | 3.7 × 10 −7 | |
| Stomatitis | FOLFOX | SCAF4 | 1.3 × 10−6 | .07 | .61 | — |
| Vomiting | XELOX | LRRC69 | 1.2 × 10−7 | .77 | .73 | — |
| SLC26A7 | 4.3 × 10−7 | .81 | .60 | — | ||
| PIP4P2 | 9.7 × 10−7 | .94 | .34 | — |
Note: Significance was set at a Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold of P < 2.5 × 10−6. Only MROH5 was significantly associated with neutropenia in patients treated with XELOX and was independently validated in patients receiving XELOX + cetuximab (P = 3.3 × 10−2), with a pooled P = 3.7 × 10−7 (in bold) (and P = 5.8 × 10−7 when also including the FOLFOX cohort).
Abbreviations: Validation cetuximab status, Validation in the COIN and COIN-B group with the alternative chemotherapy regimen but with the same cetuximab status; Validation chemo, validation in the COIN and COIN-B group with the same chemotherapy regimen but alternative cetuximab status.
