Relationship between UGT1A16/28 gene polymorphisms and the efficacy and toxicity of irinotecan-based chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT: A retrospective study was performed to analyze the relationship between uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) *6/*28 gene polymorphisms and adverse reactions associated with irinotecan (CPT-11)-based chemotherapy. The correlation between UGT1A1 polymorphisms and the clinical efficacy of CPT-11 was also analyzed, along with the influence of age and tumor type.Patients administered a CPT-11-based regimen in the Beijing Cancer Hospital from April 2015 to September 2016 were included in our study (n=81). Blood samples for detecting UGT1A1 were collected from each patient after various administration regimens.Colorectal cancer patients with the UGT1A1*6 mutant genotype had a significantly higher risk of severe delayed diarrhea than that of wild-type individuals when administered a CPT-11 dose ≥130 mg/m2 (P=0.042); the same phenomenon was observed when the UGT1A1*6 and UGT1A1*28 mutant genotypes were considered together (P=0.028). However, in lung cancer patients administered a low dose of CPT-11, UGT1A1*6/*28 variants were not significantly associated with severe neutropenia or delayed diarrhea. Furthermore, adult patients with the UGT1A1*6 mutation were more likely to develop severe delayed diarrhea than did wild-type adults (P=0.013); however, the difference was not significant in elderly patients. No significant differences in tumor response were found among the different genotypes (P>0.05).Thus, age and tumor type influence our ability to predict adverse reactions based on UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms in cancer patients. Further, UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms are not correlated with the efficacy of CPT-11-based regimens.

Project description:BackgroundInitial dose adjustment is recommended for patients with known UGT1A1∗28 homozygosity for both conventional irinotecan and liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI). A recent population pharmacokinetic (PK) study showed that Asian patients had a lower prevalence of UGT1A1∗28 homozygosity but a significantly higher maximum blood concentration of SN-38 (SN-38 Cmax) and a higher incidence of grade ≥3 neutropenia after nal-IRI administration than Caucasian patients. The current study investigated the association of UGT1A1 polymorphisms, including the Asian prevalent UGT1A1∗6, PK and toxicities of nal-IRI-based therapy in the Asian population.Patients and methodsA total of 162 patients with nal-IRI-based therapy and available UGT1A1∗6 and UGT1A1∗28 genotyping were included, with 82 Asian patients from six previous phase I or II studies of nal-IRI (cohort 1) and another 80 patients with nal-IRI + 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin every 2 weeks as real-world practice in a single institute in Taiwan (cohort 2).ResultsThe frequency of UGT1A1∗6 or UGT1A1∗28 homozygosity/compound heterozygosity was 9.3%, with UGT1A1∗6/∗6 in 2.5%, UGT1A1∗28/∗28 in 1.9% and UGT1A1∗6/∗28 in 4.9%. Among the 53 patients in cohort 1 with available PK data, all 7 patients with homozygosity/compound heterozygosity harbored UGT1A1∗6 and had a significantly higher level of median dose-normalized area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and Cmax of SN-38 than those with single heterozygosity/wild type. Of the entire study population, the incidence of grade ≥3 neutropenia and diarrhea was significantly higher in patients with homozygosity/compound heterozygosity than in those with single heterozygosity/wild type, 73.3% versus 38.1% (P = 0.012, Fisher's exact test) and 33.3% versus 9.5% (P = 0.018, Fisher's exact test), respectively.ConclusionThe results suggest that the recommendation of a lower starting dose of nal-IRI for patients with UGT1A1∗28 homozygosity should be extended to include patients with UGT1A1∗6 homozygosity/compound heterozygosity.
