Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Adult patients with solid organ tumours intended to or already undertaking Fluoropyrimidine chemotherapies are eligible for inclusion. Patients submit a blood sample to be collected either by phlebotomy trained nurse or usual blood collection facility) for DPYD genotyping to identify DPYD variants that carry important clinical significant for fluoropyrimidine related toxicity. Samples are genotyped and results provided back to oncologist. This is a feasibility study measuring turn around time of testing. Any decisions regarding DPYD variant results are at clinician discretion.
Patients and clinical stakeholders (Oncology clinicians, oncology pharmacists and oncology nurses) are invited to participate in a questionnaire exploring the perceived knowledge and attitudes toward upfront DPYD genotyping. We also explore the enablers and barriers that contribute to upfront testing as perceived by questionnaire respondents.
