The effects of cytochrome P450 enzyme induction (including CYP3A4, CYP2C and CYP2D6) by rifampicin on the metabolism and plasma pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen and its metabolites.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
In this randomized crossover pharmacokinetic study we will investigate the effects of cytochrome P450 enzyme induction (including CYP3A4, CYP2C and CYP2D6) by rifampicin on the metabolism and plasma pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen and its metabolites.
Induction of the expression of these CYP-enzymes will probably lead to an increased metabolism of tamoxifen into its (active) metabolites, including endoxifen. If it appears that endoxifen concentrations are significant higher after induction, there is a possibility created to increase endoxifen concentrations in future patients.
The study will be performed in one center (Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands). Twelve patients who use tamoxifen monotherapy (20 or 40 mg) for at least 4 weeks (to guarantee steady state) will be included in this PK study. Patients will be co-treated with rifampicin during 15 days (1 tablet of 600 mg rifampicin per day). Before and after rifampicin co-administration, pharmacokinetic sampling will be performed during a 24 hour clinical period. Blood samples will be analysed by a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectometry method. The differences in pharmacokinetic parameters will be statistically evaluated using a paired Student's t-test.
