The commonly used antiseizure medication lamotrigine is a substrate to ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) transporter. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the common loss-of-function polymorphism ABCG2 c.421C>A (rs2231142) on the lamotrigine trough concentrations at steady state in adults with epilepsy.
In two consecutive studies (Study 1, Study 2) in patients on lamotrigine monotherapy, carriers of the variant ABCG2 c.421C>A allele (CA/AA) were considered exposed, and wild-type homozygotes (CC) were considered controls. They were mutually balanced on covariates (age, sex, body weight, several polymorphisms in genes encoding other transporter proteins and lamotrigine-metabolizing enzymes that have been suggested to affect exposure to lamotrigine) to estimate the exposure effect (geometric means ratios, GMRs) in each study separately and overall (individual patient data meta-analysis). The overall estimate was evaluated for sensitivity to residual confounding.
In both studies (exposed n = 28 vs. controls n = 103; exposed n = 44 vs. controls n = 153, in Study 1 and Study 2, respectively) and overall (exposed n = 72 vs. controls n = 256), dose-corrected lamotrigine trough concentrations were moderately lower in the exposed patients: frequentist GMR [95% CI] = 0.82 [0.63-1.08]; GMR = 0.69 [0.60-0.81] and GMR = 0.72 [0.63-0.83] in Study 1, Study 2 and overall, respectively; Bayes GMR [95% CrI] = 0.83 [0.68-1.00]; GMR = 0.69 [0.58-0.83] and GMR = 0.75 [0.65-0.86] in Study 1, Study 2 and overall, respectively. Estimates appeared resistant to unmeasured confounding-the E-values for the pooled point estimates were high, and estimates corrected for a strong hypothetical bias were GMR = 0.78 [0.68-0.90] frequentist and GMR = 0.81 [0.70-0.93] Bayes.
Polymorphism ABCG2 c.421C>A moderately reduces lamotrigine concentrations in adults with epilepsy.
常用的抗癫痫药物拉莫三嗪是ATP结合盒转运体G亚家族成员2(ABCG2)转运蛋白的底物。本研究的目的是评估常见的功能丧失性多态性ABCG2 c.421C>A(rs2231142)对癫痫成年患者稳态下拉莫三嗪谷浓度的影响。
在两项连续的研究(研究1、研究2)中,对接受拉莫三嗪单药治疗的患者,将ABCG2 c.421C>A变异等位基因(CA/AA)携带者视为暴露组,野生型纯合子(CC)视为对照组。在协变量(年龄、性别、体重、编码其他转运蛋白和拉莫三嗪代谢酶的基因中的几种多态性,这些多态性被认为会影响拉莫三嗪的暴露)上对两组进行相互平衡,以分别估计每项研究及总体(个体患者数据荟萃分析)中的暴露效应(几何均数比,GMRs)。对总体估计值进行残余混杂敏感性评估。
在两项研究中(研究1中暴露组n = 28,对照组n = 103;研究2中暴露组n = 44,对照组n = 153)以及总体(暴露组n = 72,对照组n = 256)中,暴露组患者经剂量校正的拉莫三嗪谷浓度均适度降低:研究1、研究2及总体的频率学派GMR[95%CI]分别为0.82[0.63 - 1.08]、0.69[0.60 - 0.81]和0.72[0.63 - 0.83];研究1、研究2及总体的贝叶斯GMR[95%CrI]分别为0.83[0.68 - 1.00]、0.69[0.58 - 0.83]和0.75[0.65 - 0.86]。估计值似乎对未测量的混杂具有抗性——合并点估计值的E值较高,针对强假设偏倚校正后的估计值,频率学派GMR = 0.78[0.68 - 0.90],贝叶斯GMR = 0.81[0.70 - 0.93]。
ABCG2 c.421C>A多态性会适度降低癫痫成年患者体内的拉莫三嗪浓度。
