Severe hyperglycaemia following pazopanib treatment: The role of drug-drug-gene interactions in a patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma-A case report.
Pazopanib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with hyperglycaemia as a known adverse event, but case reports of severe hyperglycaemia are exceptional. We report a case of severe hyperglycaemia following pazopanib administration in a patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.. Severe hyperglycaemia developed in a patient one month following initiation of pazopanib therapy. As drug-drug-gene interactions may lead to hyperglycaemia, pharmacogenetic assessment was requested. The obtained findings indicated intermediate function of both OATP1B1 and P-glycoprotein transporters, which may cause prolonged pazopanib bioavailability and increased toxicity. Pazopanib was discontinued and, following patient recovery, was reintroduced at a lower dose.. The pharmacogenetic profiling of the patient on polypharmacy enabled better management of pazopanib therapy.
