PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 14 days

Population: Number and percentage of participants with both PGx test results and who began a qualifying chemotherapy. The BioBank Cohort and Confirmatory Cohort are not included in this measure as their PGx testing was intentionally ordered after their first dose of chemotherapy, therefore how many results were returned prior to first dose was not applicable.

The Number and percentage of participants who had their pharmacogenetic tests returned prior to the first determined dose of chemotherapy.

Enrollees were given DPYD and UGT1A1 testing before starting chemotherapy
Prospective Cohort, Non-DGI Group
Enrollees were given DPYD and UGT1A1 testing before starting chemotherapy, and were not found to have a drug gene interaction (DGI) between their genotype and planned chemotherapy
BioBank Cohort, DGI Group
Enrollees were tested for DPYD and UGT1A1 variants, and found to have a drug gene interaction (DGI) between their genotype and chemotherapy that would have been actionable, and retrospectively chart reviewed for outcomes
BioBank Cohort, Normal Metabolizers Group
Enrollees were tested for DPYD and UGT1A1 variants, and were not found to have a drug gene interaction (DGI) between their genotype and chemotherapy, and retrospectively chart reviewed for outcomes
Confirmatory Cohort
Enrollees were tested for DPYD and UGT1A1 variants after starting chemotherapy at physician request as a courtesy.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 14 days

Population: Number and percentage of participants with an actionable genetic variant also receiving an interacting chemotherapy (DPYD Poor and Intermediate Metabolizers receiving fluoropyrimidine and UGT1A1 Poor Metabolizers receiving irinotecan). The BioBank Cohort and Confirmatory Cohort are not included in this measure as their PGx testing was intentionally ordered after their first dose of chemotherapy, therefore modifying their chemotherapy to match PGx results was not applicable.

The number and percentage of participants with dose modifications made in agreement with the genotype-guided dosing recommendations for the first dose of chemotherapy.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 14 days

Population: In order to calculate the penetrance of the intervention, as this was an implementation trial, it is necessary to consider the total number of patients who would have been eligible for recruitment. This includes both the prospective arms, as well as individuals in participating clinics during the study timeframe who were not approached for consent due to personnel and screening limitations.

The number and percentage of participants with pharmacogenetic tests ordered compared to the number of patients eligible for testing at participating sites during the study timeframe

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Prospective and BioBank Cohorts are broken out into DGI and Non-DGI groups to compare participant outcomes by genotype.

Percentage of patients experiencing a severe TRAE (an event requiring hospitalization, emergency room visits, or oncology evaluation center). Severe TRAEs were one of the outcomes measured by the study.
