Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of SLC22A2 808G>T polymorphism and trough concentrations (C0) of bosutinib on serum creatinine in 28 patients taking bosutinib. At 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after administration, analysis of bosutinib C0 and creatinine was performed at the same time of day. Significant correlations were observed between bosutinib C0 and the change rate of serum creatinine or the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; r = 0.328, P < 0.001 and r = − 0.315, P < 0.001, respectively). These correlations were particularly high in patients having the SLC22A2 808G/G genotype (r = 0.345 and r = − 0.329, respectively); however, in patients having the 808T allele, there were no significant differences. In multivariate analyses, the SLC22A2 808G/G genotype, patient age, bosutinib C0 and second-line or later bosutinib were independent factors influencing the change rate of creatinine. Bosutinib elevated serum creatinine through organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2). We observed a 20% increase in serum creatinine with a median bosutinib C0 of 63.4–73.2 ng/mL. Periodic measurement of serum creatinine after bosutinib therapy is necessary to avoid progression to severe renal dysfunction from simple elevation of creatinine mediated by OCT2 following bosutinib treatment.

Introduction

Bosutinib is a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that acts as a dual inhibitor of Src and ABL kinases1,2. In long-term analyses, patients receiving bosutinib therapy have been reported to show declines in renal function, such as an increase from baseline in serum creatinine values and a decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)3. The decline in eGFR induced by bosutinib is reported to be independent of the dose of bosutinib3, and the mechanisms through which bosutinib induces a decline in renal function are still unclear.

Creatinine is actively secreted from tubular epithelial cells via organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2)4. Because many TKIs, such as imatinib and crizotinib, inhibit OCT2 within the range of clinically observed concentrations57, tubular secretion of creatinine is blocked by these TKIs, resulting in increased creatinine concentrations in serum8. In an in vitro study, Omote et al. reported that crizotinib and imatinib may increase serum creatinine values by more than 10% based on renal creatinine clearance and the plasma concentrations of these TKIs5. Although bosutinib was not previously evaluated5,7, research has suggested that OCT2 may contribute to decreased renal function induced by bosutinib. However, to date, no reports have described the relationships between plasma concentrations of bosutinib and serum creatinine values.

Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in OCT2 (encoded by the SLC22A2 gene) have been identified. Among them, the SNP rs316019 in exon 4 of the SLC22A2 gene is an 808G>T transversion that results in an amino acid change from serine to alanine at codon 2709,10. The OCT2 transport activity in individuals with the SLC22A2 808T allele is significantly lower than that in individuals with the 808G/G genotype1113. Therefore, serum creatinine values in patients with the SLC22A2 808T allele tend to be higher than in those with the 808G/G genotype14,15.

In the current study, we investigated the relationships between trough plasma concentrations of bosutinib and serum creatinine values and assessed the effects of the SLC22A2 808G>T polymorphism in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) receiving bosutinib therapy.

Results

Patient characteristics before bosutinib therapy are listed in Table 1. The mean (± SD) age of patients was 55 ± 16 years, and the mean body weight (± SD) was 64 ± 16 kg. There were no patients with serious renal or hepatic dysfunction before bosutinib therapy. Eight and 20 patients received bosutinib therapy as first-line and second-line or later therapy, respectively (Table 1). The change rates of serum creatinine and eGFR at 1 year after bosutinib therapy were significantly higher in patients receiving second-line or later bosutinib than in those receiving first-line bosutinib (each P = 0.009; Table 2). Three patients had diabetes, and 7 patients had hypertension before bosutinib therapy; however, there were no significant differences in the change rates of serum creatinine and eGFR between patients with and without diabetes or hypertension.

For all plasma samples collected from 1 to 36 months after bosutinib administration, the relationships of bosutinib C0 with serum creatinine, eGFR, or change rates are shown in Fig. 1. There were no significant relationships between bosutinib C0 and serum creatinine values at the same time (Fig. 1A). However, a significant correlation between bosutinib C0 and eGFR was observed (r = − 0.325, P < 0.001; Fig. 1B). In addition, significant correlations between bosutinib C0 and the change rates of serum creatinine and eGFR were also observed (r = 0.328, P < 0.001 and r = -0.315, P < 0.001, respectively; Fig. 1C,D).

Discussion

Changes in serum creatinine and eGFR in CML patients after bosutinib administration were significantly correlated with bosutinib C0 values. In particular, the correlation coefficient between changes in serum creatinine or eGFR and bosutinib C0 was higher in patients with the SLC22A2 808G/G genotype than in the total patient cohort in this study. Because patients with the SLC22A2 808T allele have lower OCT2 transport activity1113, creatinine values in serum always tends to be high; hence, the change rate of serum creatinine following administration of bosutinib in patients with the SLC22A2 808T allele seem low. In contrast, significant elevation of serum creatinine values was observed in patients with the SLC22A2 808G/G genotype. These findings suggested that bosutinib elevated serum creatinine by inhibiting OCT2-dependent transport of creatinine. In addition, multivariate analysis showed that aging was related to elevation of serum creatinine values. To date, a higher bosutinib C0 of more than 91.0 ng/ mL has been reported to be associated with an onset of adverse events, such as delayed diarrhea and liver dysfunction16. Therefore, in elderly patients with the SLC22A2 808G/G genotype, administration of bosutinib at doses that would yield high bosutinib C0 should be avoided.

In a phase 3 trial of bosutinib for CML treatment (the BFORE trial), the median C0 of bosutinib after administration of an initial dose of bosutinib 400 mg once daily was 55.75 ng/mL17, whereas that after administration of an initial dose of bosutinib 500 mg once daily in the Bosutinib Efficacy and Safety in Newly Diagnosed CML (BELA) trial was 67.51 ng/mL17. In pooled data from the two trials, the median C0 of bosutinib was reported to be 61.29 ng/mL17. Our previous study showed that the median bosutinib C0 in the maintenance phase was 63 ng/mL16. Therefore, the target bosutinib C0 to obtain better responses and decrease the risk of adverse events was approximately 62 ng/mL18. In the current study, the median bosutinib C0 from 3 to 36 months after administration of bosutinib ranged from 63.4 to 73.2 ng/mL. Similar to imatinib5,7, an increase in serum creatinine by bosutinib also seemed to occur via inhibition of OCT2; however, bosutinib appeared to inhibit OCT2, even at a plasma concentration of around 62 ng/mL. In particular, the slopes of the change rates of serum creatinine and eGFR during the 6 months after administration of bosutinib were large; accordingly, an increase in serum creatinine of approximately 20% by 6 months after administration of bosutinib was observed. It is possible that the inhibitory effects of bosutinib for OCT2 did not appear to be strong because the time required for elevation of serum creatinine was long. Careful monitoring of serum creatinine is necessary during the 6 months after beginning bosutinib therapy. Consequently, we observed a 20% increase in serum creatinine by transition of the bosutinib C0 to 60–70 ng/mL during the 3 years after bosutinib therapy. For maintenance of the approximately 20% increase in serum creatinine, dose adjustment according to the target bosutinib C0 of approximately 62 ng/mL may be necessary. In the current study, patients having a treatment history of imatinib, nilotinib, or dasatinib also showed elevation of serum creatinine values after bosutinib therapy. This finding was similar to the results of a previous report3. In patients with CML receiving second-line or later bosutinib, a dose escalation regimen based on the target bosutinib C0 of approximately 62 ng/mL may be effective16.

Analysis of the SLC22A2 808G>T polymorphism before bosutinib administration could predict the increase in serum creatinine after the beginning of treatment. However, because the genotype frequency of SLC22A2 808G/G in the Japanese population is 89.0%10,14,15, serum creatinine values in many patients are altered by administration of bosutinib. In the current study, the genotype frequency of SLC22A2 808G/G was 85.7%, and allele frequencies for the different analyzed loci were at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. Therefore, periodic measurement of serum creatinine and bosutinib C0 after bosutinib therapy is more important than analysis of the SLC22A2 808G>T polymorphism before bosutinib administration. In the current study, the daily dose of bosutinib was not a predictor of elevation of serum creatinine. This finding was similar to the results of a previous report3. The plasma concentrations of bosutinib do not show dose dependence, but do exhibit saturation for doses above 300 mg/day1,19,20. This phenomenon may explain why the increase in serum creatinine induced by bosutinib was not dose-dependent. Although the increase in serum creatinine of approximately 20% within 6 months after administration of bosutinib was not clinically significant, periodic measurement of serum creatinine is necessary to avoid progression to severe renal dysfunction from simple elevation of serum creatinine values mediated by OCT2 following bosutinib treatment. Increases in serum creatinine of more than 20% may be related to other causes, such as vascular occlusive events, and are a very important adverse event, particularly in elderly patients with CML.

In multivariate analyses, the proportion of the 4 explanatory variables for the increase in serum creatinine, that is, SLC22A2 808G/G genotype, patient age, bosutinib C0, and history of previous TKI therapy, was 33.3%, which was relatively low. Several factors may have affected this result. For example, after the beginning of bosutinib treatment, OCT2-mediated creatinine transport may be inhibited by the addition of therapeutic agents for other disorders. Alternatively, renal function in patients with a history of diabetes or hypertension may be reduced. However, we were not able to clarify this reason in the current study. In addition, the results from the current study were obtained by analysis of data during the 36 months after bosutinib administration, and the results of long-term use of bosutinib are unclear. Therefore, our current findings should be interpreted within the context of the study limitations. Additional studies may be necessary.

Conclusion

Changes in serum creatinine after bosutinib therapy were significantly correlated with bosutinib C0 values. An increase in serum creatinine of approximately 20% by transition of the bosutinib C0 to 60–70 ng/mL at the maintenance phase was confirmed. In particular, in patients with the SLC22A2 808G/G genotype, significant elevation of serum creatinine by bosutinib was detected. After beginning bosutinib therapy, we may need to confirm the bosutinib C0 and perform periodic measurement of serum creatinine.

Methods

Patients and protocols

Twenty-eight Japanese patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive CML (13 women and 15 men) taking bosutinib (Bosulif; Pfizer, Tokyo, Japan), who were treated at Akita University Hospital from June 2010 through June 2020 were prospectively enrolled in the study. Seventeen patients in this study had participated in our previous studies16. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients prior of bosutinib therapy are listed in Table 1. The study was conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Akita University School of Medicine (approval number: 1140), and all patients provided written informed consent for participation in the study.

Sample collection

Bosutinib was orally administered once daily in the morning. Reductions in bosutinib daily dosage were carried out based on the grade of each side effect. At 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after bosutinib administration, whole blood samples were collected by venipuncture at 24 ± 2 h after administration (trough plasma concentration, C0). Plasma was isolated by centrifugation at 1900×g for 15 min and was stored at − 40 °C until analysis. Plasma concentrations of bosutinib were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography16. Analysis of bosutinib C0 and serum creatinine was performed at the same time of day. Twenty-eight patients who completed these evaluations were retrospectively analyzed.

Identification of genotypes

DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples using a QIAamp Blood Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and was stored at − 80 °C until analysis. Genotyping procedures identifying the G and T alleles of SLC22A2 were performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), as described by Wang et al.12.

Statistical analyses

The clinical characteristics of patients were expressed as numbers or mean values ± standard deviations (SDs) and ranges. The eGFR was calculated using the following formulas: eGFR = 194 × serum creatinine concentration (mg/dL)−1.094 × age−0.287 (× 0.739 for women)21. The change rate in laboratory data = (after bosutinib therapy – before bosutinib therapy)/before bosutinib therapy.

The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was applied to assess the distribution in each dataset. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient tests were used to assess correlations of bosutinib C0 with serum creatinine, eGFR, or the change rates, and all results were expressed as correlation coefficients (r). The bosutinib C0 for each genotype of SLC22A2 808G>T was expressed as the median (quartile 1 and 3), and Mann–Whitney U tests were used to determine differences between genotype groups.

The effects of factors in univariate analysis were evaluated using stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. For each patient, dummy variables (1 and 0) were used to replace the genotypes of SLC22A2 808G>T. Differences or correlations with P values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 for Windows (SPSS IBM Japan Inc., Tokyo, Japan).
