川东北地区人群结直肠癌患者UGT1A1*28基因多态性与伊立替康所致毒副反应的相关性

目的:观察结直肠癌患者UGT1A1*28基因多态性的分布频率,了解UGT1A1*28基因多态性与结直肠癌患者应用伊立替康联合5-氟尿嘧啶化疗毒副反应的相关性。方法:从384例接受伊立替康联合氟尿嘧啶一线化疗的晚期结直肠癌病例中采外周血提取DNA。采用PCR 法扩增目的基因片段,直接测序法分析UGT1A1*28基因多态性。临床观察并评价患者化疗毒副反应分级,统计分析UGT1A1*28基因表型与化疗毒副反应相关性。结果:全部 384例患者 UGT1A1*28基因多态性分布情况:TA6/6野生基因型287例(74.7％),TA6/7杂合基因型73例（19.0％）,TA7/7纯合基因型24例（6.3％）。化疗毒副反应和UGT1A1*28基因多态性进行临床单因素分析显示UGT1A1*28基因纯合型TA7/7、杂合型TA6/7与3-4度白细胞减少、中性粒细胞减少、腹泻、胆红素升高具有明显相关性（P<0.01）,UGT1A1*28基因纯合型TA7/7及杂合型TA6/7患者发生中性粒细胞减少的风险较UGT1A1*28基因野生型TA6/6患者高5.625倍（OR=5.625）。UGT1A1*28基因纯合型TA7/7和UGT1A1*28基因杂合型TA6/7患者发生腹泻的风险较UGT1A1*28基因野生型TA6/6患者高6.778倍（OR=6.778）。结论:UGT1A1*28基因纯合型TA7/7及杂合型TA6/7患者应用伊立替康化疗后发生重度中性粒细胞减少、重度腹泻的风险高于UGT1A1*28基因野生型TA6/6,为临床伊立替康用药选择、剂量调整、毒副反应的提前干预提供理论依据。     

伊立替康联合顺铂或5-FU治疗UGT1A1*28野生型TA6/6患者不良反应的比较

目的：比较尿苷二磷酸葡萄糖醛酸转移酶1A1（UGT1A1）*28启动子为野生型的TA6/6患者在使用伊立替康（irinotecan,CPT-11）联合顺铂与CPT-11联合5-FU/亚叶酸钙治疗时不良反应方面的差异。方法根据采取的治疗方案将98例UGT1A1*28野生型TA6/6患者分为CPT-11联合顺铂组（IP组,n＝47）和CPT-11联合5-FU/亚叶酸钙组（FOLFIRI组,n＝51）,对患者进行UGT1A1*28启动子多态性检测,比较不良反应差异。结果在总体3～4级不良反应方面,IP组的发生率（61.7%）明显高于FOLFIRI组（39.2%）,且组间差异具有统计学意义（P=0.026）。在血液学不良反应方面,IP组3～4级白细胞减少、中性粒细胞减少、血小板减少和血红蛋白减少发生率分别为34.0%、51.1%、14.9%和8.5%,FOLFIRI组的发生率分别为11.8%、29.4%、2.0%、0,组间差异均有统计学意义（均P＜0.05）;在非血液学方面,FOLFIRI组3～4级迟发性腹泻发生率为9.8%,IP组未发生3～4级腹泻,两组间发生率的差异有统计学意义（P=0.028）。结论 UGT1A1*28野生型TA6/6患者在接受CPT-11联合顺铂和CPT-11联合5-FU/亚叶酸钙两种化疗方案治疗的不良反应谱存在差异;应用CPT-11时,不但要考虑到UGT1A1*28启动子多态性对不良反应的影响,而且还要考虑CPT-11联合不同药物出现不良反应情况。     

UGT1A1 polymorphism can predict hematologic toxicity in patients treated with irinotecan.

PURPOSE: Irinotecan (CPT-11) is approved in metastatic colorectal cancer treatment and can cause severe toxicity. The main purpose of our study was to assess the role of different polymorphisms on the occurrence of hematologic toxicities and disease-free survival in high-risk stage III colon cancer patients receiving 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and CPT-11 adjuvant chemotherapy regimen in a prospective randomized trial. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Four hundred patients were randomized in a phase III trial comparing LV5FU2 to LV5FU2 + CPT-11. DNA from 184 patients was extracted and genotyped to detect nucleotide polymorphism: 3435C>T for ABCB1, 6986A>G for CYP3A5, UGT1A1*28 and -3156G>A for UGT1A1. RESULTS: Genotype frequencies were similar in both treatment arms. In the test arm, no significant difference was observed in toxicity or disease-free survival for ABCB1 and CYP3A5 polymorphisms. UGT1A1*28 homozygous patients showed more frequent severe hematologic toxicity (50%) than UGT1A1*1 homozygous patients (16.2%), P = 0.06. Moreover, patients homozygous for the mutant allele of -3156G>A UGT1A1 polymorphism showed more frequent severe hematologic toxicity (50%) than patients homozygous for wild-type allele (12.5%), P = 0.01. This toxicity occurred significantly earlier in homozygous mutant than wild-type homozygous patients (P = 0.043). In a Cox model, the hazard ratio for severe hematologic toxicity is significantly higher for patients with the A/A compared with the G/G genotype [hazard ratio, 8.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.9-37.2; P = 0.005]. CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the clinical utility of identification of UGT1A1 promoter polymorphisms before LV5FU2 + CPT-11 treatment to predict early hematologic toxicity. The -3156G>A polymorphism seems to be a better predictor than the UGT1A1 (TA)(6)TAA>(TA)(7)TAA polymorphism.     

UGT1A1*28 polymorphism predicts irinotecan-induced severe toxicities without affecting treatment outcome and survival in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma

BACKGROUND: It is known that the uridine-diphosphoglucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)*28 polymorphism reduces UGT1A1 enzyme activity, which may lead to severe toxicities in patients who receive irinotecan. This study was conducted to assess the influence of this polymorphism on the efficacy and toxicity of irinotecan treatment in Chinese patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma (CRC). METHODS: In total, 128 patients with metastatic CRC who had received previous treatment with irinotecan plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin were analyzed retrospectively. Genomic DNA samples were obtained from patients' leukocytes, and genotypes were determined by analyzing the sequence of TATA boxes in the UGT1A1 gene. The influence of the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism on toxicity and treatment outcome was analyzed. RESULTS: Approximately 20% of patients were identified with the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism, including 15.6% (n = 20 patients) with the thymine-adenine (TA)6/TA7 genotype and 4.7% (n = 6 patients) with the TA7/TA7 genotype. The remaining 79.7% of patients (n = 102) had wild type TA6/TA6. Marked increases in grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (53.8% vs 4.9%; P < .01), neutropenic fever (38.5% vs 3.9%; P < .01), diarrhea (26.9% vs 5.9%; P < .01), and pretreatment bilirubin level (23.1% vs 8.8%; P = .04) were observed in patients who had the TA6/TA7 or TA7/TA7 genotypes. Patients' pretreatment bilirubin levels correlated well with irinotecan-induced neutropenia (P < .01). It was noted that, although the requirement for irinotecan dose reduction was significantly greater in patients who had this genetic variant (42.3% vs 12.7%; P < .01), it did not affect the response rate to irinotecan-based chemotherapy (42.3% vs 45.1%; P = .80), and it did not significantly affect progression-free survival (10 months vs 11 months; P = .94) or overall survival (19 months vs 18 months; P = .84). CONCLUSIONS: The current data suggested that the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism may be a key determinant for predicting irinotecan-induced severe toxicities without affecting treatment outcome for patients with metastatic CRC. Further prospective studies are warranted for using this polymorphism to optimize irinotecan-based chemotherapy.     

UGT1A1基因多态性与伊立替康临床用药安全性及疗效的关系

目的：研究 UGT1A1基因多态性与伊立替康治疗结直肠癌患者的不良反应及疗效之间的关系。方法：自外周血中抽提基因组 DNA,进行 PCR 扩增,应用直接测序法分析2012年3月至2013年3月,于我院行基因检测的65例结直肠癌患者 UGT1A1*28和 UGT1A1*6基因多态性的分布情况。并对这65例应用含伊立替康方案化疗的患者出现的不良反应及化疗疗效,进行观察记录,比较不同基因型间的差异。结果：65例患者中,UGT1A1*28野生型 TA6／6有49例（75．4％）,杂合突变型 TA6／7有14例（21．5％）,纯合突变型TA7／7有2例（3．1％）。UGT1A1*6野生型 G／G 有47例（72．3％）,杂合突变型 G／A 有15例（23．1％）,纯合突变型 A ／A 有3例（4．6％）。在以上65例结直肠癌患者中,UGT1A1基因启动子区28位点,TA6／6、TA6／7和TA7／7型,发生3级以上腹泻者分别为8．2％、37．5％;发生3级以上中性粒细胞减少者分别为28．6％、62．5％。UGT1A1基因启动子区6位点,G／G、G／A 和 A ／A 型,发生3级以上腹泻者分别为12．8％、44．4％;发生3级以上中性粒细胞减少者分别为14．9％、22．2％。各组之间疗效无统计学差异。结论：患者 UGT1A1*28和UGT1A1*6多态性分布基本一致,UGT1A1*28突变型可以使应用含伊立替康化疗患者发生3级以上腹泻和中性粒细胞减少的风险增加。UGT1A1*6突变型可增加3级以上腹泻的发生风险。因此,UGT1A1基因型的检测对伊立替康相关的不良反应有一定的预测作用,可提高用药安全性,在临床用药中起到了指导作用。

UGT1A1基因多态性与伊立替康治疗结直肠癌不良反应的关系

背景与目的：尿苷二磷酸葡萄糖醛酸转移酶1A1(uridine diphosphoglucu-ronosyltransferase 1A1,UGTlA1)是伊立替康代谢关键酶,其活性受基因多态性影响显著。本研究探讨结直肠癌患者中,UGT1A1*28和UGT1A1*6基因多态性与伊立替康治疗相关不良反应之间的关系。方法：入组2013年4月—2013年12月于复旦大学附属中山医院肿瘤内科接受治疗的消化道恶性肿瘤患者160例。抽提外周血中基因组DNA,分别采用STR方法和Sanger测序法,检测UGT1A1*28和UGT1A1*6基因型,分析UGT1A1基因多态性分布情况。对其中82例化疗方案中含伊立替康的结直肠癌患者进行随访,记录不良反应发生情况和严重程度,比较不同基因型患者之间的差异。结果：160例消化道肿瘤患者中,UTG1A1*28(启动子TATA盒区域TA重复次数)野生型TA6/6124例(77.5%);杂合子TA6/7 33例(20.5%);纯合子TA7/7 3例(2.0%)。UGT1A1*6位点(211G>A)野生型GG 105例(65.6%),杂合子GA 48例(30.0%);纯合子AA 7例(4.4%)。82例化疗方案中含伊立替康的结直肠癌患者中,*28基因型(TA6/7和TA7/7)显著增加发生3级以上中性粒细胞减少的风险(58.3% vs 0.0%,P<0.001),并增加整体不良反应发生率(76.0% vs 45.6%,P<0.001);*6基因型(GA和AA)、年龄、性别、化疗方案和伊立替康相关不良反应发生无显著相关性。结论：接受伊立替康化疗的结直肠癌患者,UGT1A1*28位点多态性显著增加中性粒细胞减少发生的风险,可预测伊立替康引起的骨髓抑制性不良反应,辅助临床选择合适的化疗方案。     

Genetic variants in the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 gene predict the risk of severe neutropenia of irinotecan.

PURPOSE: Severe toxicity is commonly observed in cancer patients receiving irinotecan. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) catalyzes the glucuronidation of the active metabolite SN-38. This study prospectively evaluated the association between the prevalence of severe toxicity and UGT1A1 genetic variation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty-six cancer patients with advanced disease refractory to other treatments received irinotecan 350 mg/m(2) every 3 weeks. Toxicity and pharmacokinetic data were measured during cycle 1. UGT1A1 variants (-3279G>T, -3156G>A, promoter TA indel, 211G>A, 686C>A) were genotyped. RESULTS: The prevalence of grade 4 neutropenia was 9.5%. Grade 4 neutropenia was much more common in patients with the TA indel 7/7 genotype (3 of 6 patients; 50%) compared with 6/7 (3 of 24 patients; 12.5%) and 6/6 (0 of 29 patients; 0%) (P =.001). The TA indel genotype was significantly associated with the absolute neutrophil count nadir (7/7 < 6/7 < 6/6, P =.02). The relative risk of grade 4 neutropenia was 9.3 (95% CI, 2.4 to 36.4) for the 7/7 patients versus the rest of the patients. Pretreatment total bilirubin levels (mean +/- standard deviation) were significantly higher in patients with grade 4 neutropenia (0.83 +/- 0.08 mg/dL) compared to those without grade 4 neutropenia (0.47 +/- 0.03 mg/dL; P <.001). The -3156G>A variant seemed to distinguish different phenotypes of total bilirubin within the TA indel genotypes. The -3156 genotype and the SN-38 area under the concentration versus time curve were significant predictors of ln(absolute neutrophil count nadir; r(2) = 0.51). CONCLUSION: UGT1A1 genotype and total bilirubin levels are strongly associated with severe neutropenia, and could be used to identify cancer patients predisposed to the severe toxicity of irinotecan. The hypothesis that the -3156G>A variant is a better predictor of UGT1A1 status than the previously reported TA indel requires further testing.     

Severe CPT-11 toxicity in patients with Gilbert's syndrome: Two case reports

Background: CPT-11 is hydrolyzed to its active metabolite SN-38, which is mainly eliminated through conjugation by hepatic uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferases (UGTs) to the glucuronide (SN-38G) derivative. Preclinical studies showed that UGT*1.1 is the isozyme responsible for SN-38 glucuronidation. Patients with Gilbert's syndrome have deficient UGT*1.1 activity, therefore may have an increased risk for related CPT-11 toxicity.Patients and methods: Two patients with metastatic colon cancer and Gilbert's syndrome were treated with CPT-11 based chemotherapy. CPT-11, SN-38 and SN-38G pharmacokinetics parameters were obtained. Serum bilirubin was analysed by alkaline methanolysis and HPLC.Results: Both patients presented grade 4 neutropenia and/or diarrhea (NCI-CTC) in every treatment cycle. Biliary index (after Gupta et al) values were well above 4000.Conclusion: We present the first clinical evidence linking bilirubin glucuronidation status and CPT-11 related toxicity. The severe toxicity experienced by the two patients with Gilbert's syndrome treated with CPT-11 based chemotherapy has a genetic basis. Individuals with Gilbert's syndrome have an enhanced risk for CPT-11 toxicity. Unconjugated serum bilirubin could be predictive parameter of CPT-11 toxicity.     

Genetic Polymorphisms of the UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 1A7 Gene and Irinotecan Toxicity in Japanese Cancer Patients

Irinotecan often causes unpredictably severe, occasionally fatal, toxicity involving leukopenia or diarrhea. It is converted by carboxyesterase to an active metabolite, SN–38, which is further conjugated and detoxified to SN–38–glucuronide by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT). We genotyped the UGT1A7 gene by direct sequencing analysis and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 118 cancer patients and 108 healthy subjects. All the patients had received irinotecan-containing chemotherapy and were evaluated to see whether the variant UGT1A7 genotype would increase the likelihood of severe toxicity of irinotecan consisting of grade 4 leukopenia and/or grade 3 or more diarrhea. Among the 26 patients with severe toxicity, the allele frequencies were 61.5% for UGT1A7*1 , 15.4% for UGT1A7*2 , and 23.1% for UGT1A7*3. On the other hand, the frequencies were 63.6% for UGT1A7*1 , 15.8% for UGT1A7*2 , and 20.7% for UGT1A7*3 among the 92 patients without severe toxicity. None of the 118 patients had UGT1A7*4. Neither univariate analysis (odds ratio, 1.13; 95% confidential interval, 0.46–2.75) nor multivariate logistic regression analysis (odds ratio, 0.74; 95% confidential interval, 0.26–2.07) found any significant association between carrying at least one of the variant alleles and the occurrence of severe toxicity. The distribution of UGT1A7 genotypes in 108 healthy subjects was not significantly different from that in the patients ( P =0.99 and 0.86 for those with and without severe toxicity, respectively), but significantly less than that in Caucasians reported previously ( P <0.001). The results suggested that determination of UGT1A7 genotypes would not be useful for predicting severe toxicity of irinotecan.     

尿苷二磷酸葡萄糖醛酸转移酶1A1*28基因多态性和伊立替康毒副反应相关性研究

目的初步了解肿瘤患者血中尿苷二磷酸葡萄糖醛酸转移酶1A1(UGT1A1)启动子的多态性分布,并研究其多态性和伊立替康化疗的毒副反应之间的关系。方法收集拟采用伊立替康为基础化疗方案的患者全血标本,直接测序分析UGT1A1~*28 TATA盒基因序列;并与化疗毒副反应进行相关性分析。结果 203例患者进行UGT1A1~*28 TATA基因启动子检测,UGT1A1~*28野生纯合型(TA6/6)最常见,共156例,占76.8%;其次为突变杂合型(TA6/7),共43例,占21.2%;突变纯合型(TA7/7)仅3例,占1.5%;TA5/6有1例,占0.5%。共有183例患者使用含伊立体康方案治疗。突变纯合型(TA7/7)与3度及以上迟发型腹泻和中性粒细胞减少明确相关(P=0.001、P=0.048),与化疗前总胆红素水平升高相关(P0.001);突变杂合型(TA6/7)和野生纯合型(TA6/6)在3度及以上迟发型腹泻和中性粒细胞减少方面的相关性类似(P=0.561、P=0.915),化疗前总胆红素水平类似(P=0.229)。结论 UGT1A1~*28突变纯合型(TA7/7)明显增加伊立替康所致3度及以上延迟性腹泻和中性粒细胞减少,增加化疗前胆红素水平;而UGT1A1~*28突变杂合型(TA6/7)并不增加3、4度迟发型腹泻和粒细胞减少的发生及化疗前总胆红素水平。     

UGT1A7 and UGT1A9 polymorphisms predict response and toxicity in colorectal cancer patients treated with capecitabine/irinotecan.

PURPOSE: Capecitabine and irinotecan are commonly used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). We hypothesized that germline polymorphisms within genes related to drug target (thymidylate synthase) or metabolizing enzymes (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, UGT) would impact response and toxicity to the combination of capecitabine plus irinotecan (CPT-11). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Sixty-seven patients with measurable CRC were treated with irinotecan i.v. (100 or 125 mg/m(2)) on days 1 and 8 and capecitabine orally (900 or 1,000 mg/m(2), twice daily) on days 2 through 15 of each 3-week cycle. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and genotyped using Pyrosequencing, GeneScan, and direct sequencing (Big Dye terminator) technologies. RESULTS: The overall objective response rate was 45% with 21 patients (31%) exhibiting grade 3 or 4 diarrhea and 3 patients (4.5%) demonstrating grade 3 or 4 neutropenia in the first two cycles. Low enzyme activity UGT1A7 genotypes, UGT1A7*2/*2 (six patients) and UGT1A7*3/*3 (seven patients), were significantly associated with antitumor response (p = 0.013) and lack of severe gastrointestinal toxicity (p = 0.003). In addition, the UGT1A9 -118 (dT)(9/9) genotype was significantly associated with reduced toxicity (p = 0.002) and increased response (p = 0.047). There were no statistically significant associations between UGT1A1, UGT1A6, or thymidylate synthase genotypes and toxicity or tumor response. CONCLUSIONS: These data strongly suggest that UGT1A7 and/or UGT1A9 genotypes may be predictors of response and toxicity in CRC patients treated with capecitabine plus irinotecan. Specifically, patients with genotypes conferring low UGT1A7 activity and/or the UGT1A9 (dT)(9/9) genotype may be particularly likely to exhibit greater antitumor response with little toxicity.     

Relevance of different UGT1A1 polymorphisms in irinotecan-induced toxicity: a molecular and clinical study of 75 patients.

PURPOSE: We wanted to assess polymorphisms in the uridine diphosphoglucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT 1A1) gene: the TATA box polymorphism and UGT 1A1 G71R and Y486D mutations in the coding sequence, the main mutations characterizing Gilbert's syndrome, as predictors of severe toxic event occurrence after irinotecan (CPT-11) administration. Therefore, we set up a rapid, sensitive, and reliable technique in routine practice to detect before CPT-11 treatment, the at-risk patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Seventy-five patients with advanced colorectal cancer and treated with CPT-11 and 5-fluorouracil, entered the study. We used the Pyrosequencing technology a real-time sequencing method, to detect the UGT 1A1 TATA box polymorphisms and mutations in the coding regions. Patients were also assessed for both biochemical and clinical evaluation and tolerance to treatment. RESULTS: No G71R and Y486D mutations were found in our population. Frequencies for UGT 1A1 TATA box polymorphisms were 41, 47, and 9% for wild-type 6/6, heterozygous 6/7, and Gilbert's syndrome 7/7, respectively. Tolerance to treatment decreased with increased number of TA repeat with 71% of the patients in 7/7 group who experienced grade 3/4 toxicity. CONCLUSIONS: The method we set up is suitable for the detection of UGT 1A1 polymorphism in routine practice before irinotecan treatment. It could help to detect the patients homozygous or heterozygous for Gilbert's syndrome, at-risk of CPT 11-induced toxicity, and thus could help to individualize the dose to optimize efficacy and limit toxicity.     

UGT1A1基因多态性在FOLFIRI方案二线治疗转移性结直肠癌中的临床意义

目的 探讨尿苷二磷酸葡萄糖醛酸转移酶（UGT）1A1基因多态性在FOLFIRI方案二线治疗转移性结直肠癌（mCRC）中的安全性和作为疗效预测指标的价值。方法在FOLFIRI方案化疗前分离mCRC患者外周血中单核细胞,采用荧光定量PCR-HRM法测定UGT1A1基因型。根据NCI CTC 3.0和RECIST 10标准分别评价化疗的不良反应和疗效,并分析UGT1A1基因多态性与不良反应和近期有效率（RR）的关系。用Kaplan-Meier法进行生存分析,Log-rank 检验分析UGT1A1基因型对无进展生存期（PFS）的影响。结果38例患者中,UGT1A1*28位点的野生型（TA6／6）有31例（81.6％）,杂合突变型（TA6／7）2例（5.3％）,纯合突变型（TA7／7）5例（13.2％）;UGT1A1*6位点的野生型（G／G）有28例（73.7％）,杂合突变型（G／A）8例（21.1％）,纯合突变型（A／A）2例（5.3％）。在3～4级延迟性腹泻和中性粒细胞减少的发生率方面,UGT1A1*28的野生型（TA6／6）显著低于TA6／7和TA7／7基因型（P＜0.05）,UGT1A1*6的野生型（G／G）也显著低于G／A和A／A基因型（P＜0.05）。RR和PFS在UGT1A1各种基因型之间差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。结论 在FOLFIRI方案二线治疗mCRC中,UGT1A1*28位点和UGT1A1*6位点突变可以作为严重的延迟性腹泻和中性粒细胞减少的预测指标,但UGT1A1基因多态性与疗效无关。     

UGT1A1 genotypes and glucuronidation of SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan

Background: Irinotecan (CPT-11) is metabolized by esterase to form a SN-38, which is further conjugated by UGT1A1. Genetic polymorphism has been shown in a promoter region of UGT1A1 and is related to its activity. We investigated whether there might be an inter-individual difference in pharmacokinetics of SN-38 and its glucuronide, depending on the genotypes of UGT1A1.Patients and methods: Nine male patients with lung cancer were treated with irinotecan (50 mg/m²) and carboplatin. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with full sampling plasma data. Genotypes were determined by analyzing the sequence of TATA box of UGT1A1 of genomic DNA from the patients.Results: The genotyping analysis revealed one heterozygote (6/7) and one homozygote (7/7) for (TA)₇TAA allele (UGT1A1^*28). The remaining seven patients were homozygote for (TA)₆TAA allele (6/6, wild type). The metabolic ratios (SN-38/SN-38 glucuronide) in the patient with 7/7 genotype were uncharacteristically higher than those in the patients with other genotypes (6/6 and 6/7). Biliary index was 6980 versus 2180 ± 1110 (range 840–3730) in patients with 7/7 versus 6/6 genotypes, respectively.Conclusion: These results support the idea that the patient with 7/7 genotype has an impaired capacity for glucuronidation of SN-38.     

A phase I pharmacologic and pharmacogenetic trial of sequential 24-hour infusion of irinotecan followed by leucovorin and a 48-hour infusion of fluorouracil in adult patients with solid tumors.

PURPOSE: In preclinical studies, sequential exposure to irinotecan (CPT-11) then fluorouracil (5-FU) is superior to concurrent exposure or the reverse sequence; a 24-hour infusion of CPT-11 may be better tolerated than shorter infusions. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: CPT-11 was first given at four levels (70-140 mg/m(2)/24 hours), followed by leucovorin 500 mg/m(2)/0.5 hours and 5-FU 2,000 mg/m(2)/48 hours on days 1 and 15 of a 4-week cycle. 5-FU was then increased in three cohorts up to 3,900 mg/m(2)/48 hours. RESULTS: Two patients had dose-limiting toxicity during cycle 1 at 140/3,900 of CPT-11/5-FU (2-week delay for neutrophil recovery; grade 3 nausea despite antiemetics); one of six patients at 140/3,120 had dose-limiting toxicity (grade 3 diarrhea, grade 4 neutropenia). Four of 22 patients with colorectal cancer had partial responses, two of which had prior bolus CPT-11/5-FU. The mean 5-FU plasma concentration was 5.1 micromol/L at 3,900 mg/m(2)/48 hours. The end of infusion CPT-11 plasma concentration averaged 519 nmol/L at 140 mg/m(2)/24 hours. Patients with UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1; TA)6/6 promoter genotype had a lower ratio of free to glucuronide form of SN-38 than in patients with >/=1 (TA)7 allele. Thymidylate synthase genotypes for the 28-base promoter repeat were 2/2 (13%), 2/3 (74%), 3/3 (13%); all four responders had a 2/3 genotype. CONCLUSIONS: Doses (mg/m(2)) of CPT-11 140/24 hours, leucovorin 500/0.5 hours and 5-FU 3,120/48 hours were well tolerated.

Abstract

Irinotecan is a promising anticancer agent for the treatment of childhood cancer un-responsive to conventional chemotherapy. Its active metabolite, 7-ethyl-10 hydroxy-camptothecin (SN-38) is glucuronidated by a uridine-diphosphoglucuronosyl-transferase (UGT1A1) to form an inactive metabolite. It was supposed that patientswith the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism would have a greater prevalence of elevated pre-treatment serum bilirubin levels and higher toxicity. The aim of our study was to investigate the predictive value of pre-treatment bilirubin levels in the development of severe diarrhea in solid tumor patients treated with irinotecan. The survey included14 pediatric patients with refractory sarcomas treated with irinotecan (CPT-11). Patients were grouped based on the development of mild (G0-2) or severe (G3) gastrointestinal toxicity. The simple linear regression model and the non-parametric paired wilcoxon test were adopted for the analysis. P <0.05 was judged to indicate a significant difference. The results showed a significant increase in severity of diarrhea with in creasing total pre-treatment bilirubin. Therefore, we propose that pre-treatmentbilirubin levels can predict gastrointestinal toxicity in pediatric cancer.

UGT1A1*28 genotype and irinotecan-induced neutropenia: dose matters

The Food and Drug Administration and Pfizer changed the package insert for irinotecan to include a patient's UGT1A1*28 genotype as a risk factor for severe neutropenia on the basis of the findings of four pharmacogenetic studies, which found that irinotecan-treated patients who were homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele had a greater risk of hematologic toxic effects than patients who had one or two copies of the wild-type allele (UGT1A1*1). Findings of subsequent irinotecan pharmacogenetic studies have been inconsistent. In a meta-analysis, we reviewed data presented in nine studies that included a total of 10 sets of patients (for a total of 821 patients) and assessed the association of irinotecan dose with the risk of irinotecan-related hematologic toxicities (grade III-IV) for patients with a UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype. The risk of toxicity was higher among patients with a UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype than among those with a UGT1A1*1/*1 or UGT1A1*1/*28 genotype at both medium (odds ratio [OR] = 3.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.52 to 6.81; P = .008) and high (OR = 27.8, 95% CI = 4.0 to 195; P = .005) doses of irinotecan. However, risk was similar at lower doses (OR = 1.80, 95% CI = 0.37 to 8.84; P = .41). Low doses of irinotecan (100-125 mg/m2) are in the commonly used therapeutic range. The risk of experiencing irinotecan-induced hematologic toxicity for patients with a UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype thus appears to be a function of the dose of irinotecan administered.
