Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of the study is the clearance of 5-FU at steady state (Clss) measured in ml/min. Among cancer patients treated with 5-FU, we will compare the variation in clearance between the four common DPYD variant allele carriers and DPYD wild-type carriers. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary study parameters are the incidence of 5-FU related toxicities, U/DHU ratio, DPD phenotype (EM, IM, and PM), 5-FU doses, dosage adjustment and time to reach target AUC (cycle number). | — |
