Popis: What is known and objective We investigated the correlations among signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) rs4796793C >G polymorphism, gefitinib pharmacokinetics and clinical responses in Japanese patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving gefitinib therapy. Methods Forty-five patients were enrolled in this study. Plasma trough concentrations (C0 ) of gefitinib at the steady-state were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results and discussion Patients having a gefitinib C0 of at least ≥200 ng/mL had significantly longer PFS than patients having a C0 of What is new and conclusion Clinical outcomes of gefitinib in patients with the STAT3 rs4796793C/C genotype depended on plasma concentrations of gefitinib. In addition to information regarding EGFR mutations, the STAT3 rs4796793C >G polymorphism and gefitinib C0 may be potential predictors of clinical outcomes after beginning of gefitinib therapy.
