This study is for patients who have stomach cancer or cancer of the lower part of the esophagus that has spread to other organs. There are many different chemotherapy treatments for this type of cancer. At the present time, there is no general agreement on the way to choose the most beneficial therapy for an individual patient. Patients with different genetic backgrounds may respond differently to the same chemotherapy treatments. In this study the investigators will use a certain genetic difference in an important gene (thymidylate synthase or TS gene) to see whether treating patients who have a particular type of that gene will respond better to a standard chemotherapy regimen. The investigators are hoping that by treating patients according to their genes, that they may respond to treatment of their cancer better and it will help the investigators choose cancer treatments better in the future.

The efficacy and safety of antiretroviral therapy and the damage caused by chronic inflammation in the presence of the virus has recently lead to the consideration of initiating antiretroviral therapy earlier than what is required to prevent opportunistic diseases. Although there may be subtle differences, all recommended antiretroviral combinations for first-line therapy are considered equally effective. Nevertheless, treatment success requires high levels of adherence, which is linked to tolerability and the minimization of adverse effects. The genes coding the enzymes that are involved in the antiretroviral clearance pathways and the transmembrane transport of drugs are known. These genetic variations can determine the interindividual variations in plasma concentration with the same doses. Both pharmacogenomics (PG) and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may contribute to the individualization of therapy in different chronic conditions through dosing optimization and are associated with a lower risk of concentration-dependent toxicity and potentially greater efficacy. The use of these strategies in the context of antiretroviral therapy is in early stage of development. Following, our main hypothesis is that PG + TDM dose adjustment of efavirenz or atazanavir in the initial antiretroviral treatment of naive patients with HIV infection is non-inferior in terms of efficacy, has improved safety, and shows a better cost/effectiveness profile than the standard approach with non adjusted doses. To evaluate our hypothesis we developed this multicenter randomized clinical trial, where patients from 4 clinical sites in Buenos Aires will be included in the protocol and randomized to standard of care (SOC) or pharmacological adaptation (PA) -PA: PG + TDM. For the pharmacogenomics determination, we developed a multiplex approach including main polymorphisms of CYP2B6, CYP2A6, CYP3A4 y ABCB1 for efavirenz; and UGT1A1, ABCB1 and CYP3A4 for atazanavir. Drug plasma levels will be analyzed with ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The main outcomes are to establish the usefulness of PG and TDM in determining the efficacy, safety and cost/effectiveness of a first-line antiretroviral therapy containing either efavirenz or atazanavir in patients with HIV infection who have not received prior antiretroviral therapy.

The aim of the study is to investigate the possible correlation of plasma drug concentrations with Time To Positivity (TTP) in liquid culture in patients with active pulmonary multi sensitive TB in the first two weeks of treatment. Secondary aims are: the correlation between plasma drug concentrations and hepato/neuro toxicity; the impact of different allelic variants on PK data, toxicity and TTP in liquid culture; the feasibility of using dried blood/plasma spots to measure plasma concentrations of anti-TB drugs and determine genetic polymorphisms.
