Target follow-up type
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participant patients will be dispensed with a 200 mg dose of the probe drug, proguanil on two separate occasions. The patients will be requested to take two tablets containing 100 mg each, by mouth three hours before the commencement of chemotherapy. The patients will also be requested to take two tablets containing 100 mg each, by mouth three hours prior to the commencement of the 3rd cycle of chemotherapy.
The duration between the 1st and 3rd cycles of chemotherapy will be dependent on the patients own chemotherapy schedules.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 288284 0
To elucidate whether compromised CYP2C19 activity occurs in women with breast cancer at 3 hours post administration of proguanil. CYP2C19 functional activity will be measured by plasma samples at 3 hours post administration of proguanil and at 3 hours and 15 minutes post administration of proguanil.
Timepoint [1] 288284 0
At 3 hours post administration of proguanil and at 3 hours and 15 minutes post administration of proguanil. The plasma samples will be taken prior to the patients routine 1st and 3rd cycle of chemotherapy.
Primary outcome [2] 288285 0
To elucidate whether compromised CYP2C19 activity results in decreased activation of cyclophosphamide in women with breast cancer. CYP2C19 functional activity will be measured by plasma samples at 15 minutes and 30 minutes following the completion of the 1st cycle of the cyclophosphamide infusion and the 3rd cycle of the cyclophosphamide infusion.
Timepoint [2] 288285 0
At 15 minutes and 30 minutes following the completion of the 1st cycle of the cyclophosphamide infusion. At 15 minutes and 30 minutes following the completion the 3rd cycle of the cyclophosphamide infusion.
Secondary outcome [1] 299761 0
To elucidate whether there is a relationship between compromised CYP2C19 and pro-inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines in women with breast cancer as measured by plasma samples.
Timepoint [1] 299761 0
At 30 minutes following the completion of the 1st cycle of the cyclophosphamide infusion. At 30 minutes following the completion the 3rd cycle of the cyclophosphamide infusion.
Secondary outcome [2] 299762 0
To elucidate whether a combination of genetic (i.e. CYP2C19/CYP2B6) and additional non-genetic factors, such as markers of inflammation, influence the metabolism of cyclophosphamide in women with breast cancer as measured from plasma samples.
Timepoint [2] 299762 0
All patients will have blood collected at baseline for determination of CYP2C19 genotype.
