Pharmacogenetic clinical randomised phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FOLFIRI with high-dose irinotecan (HD-FOLFIRI) in metastatic colorectal cancer patients according to their UGT1A 1 genotype.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients harbouring the UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype are at risk of severe toxicity with the standard irinotecan dose. However, this dose is considerably lower than the dose that can be tolerated by UGT1A1*1/*1 and *1/*28 patients. This randomised phase II trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of the FOLFIRI regimen with high-dose irinotecan (HD-FOLFIRI) in metastatic colorectal cancer patients.

Methods

Eighty-two patients with the UGT1A1*1/*1 or the *1/*28 genotype were randomised to receive HD-FOLFIRI versus FOLFIRI. Patients with the UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype were excluded. In the experimental group, the irinotecan dose was 300 mg/m2 for UGT1A1*1/*1 and 260 mg/m2 for *1/*28 patients. In the control group, the dose was 180 mg/m2. We analysed the overall response rate (ORR), toxicity, and survival.

Results

The ORR was significantly higher in the HD-FOLFIRI group (67.5 versus 43.6%; p = 0.001 OR: 1.73 [95% CI:1.03-2.93]). Neutropenia (17.7%), diarrhoea (5.1%), and asthenia (5.1%) were the most common grade 3-4 toxicity. No differences were observed in severe toxicity (22.5% versus 20.5%), dose reduction (22.5% versus 28.2%), or prophylactic G-CSF (17.5% versus 12.8%). No difference in survival was found.

Conclusions

Patients with the UGT1A1*1/*1 and *1/*28 genotypes can receive high doses of irinotecan to achieve a more favourable ORR without significant adverse events.
