This article provides essential knowledge on UGT1A1 polymorphisms and their impact on the efficacy and toxicity of irinotecan-based regimens. It offers dosing adjustments based on UGT1A1 genotypes and summarizes recommendations from US and international scientific consortia and major oncology societies.
Irinotecan is an anticancer agent widely used for the treatment of solid tumors, including colorectal and pancreatic cancers. Severe neutropenia and diarrhea are common dose-limiting toxicities of irinotecan-based therapy, and UGT1A1 polymorphisms are one of the major risk factors of these toxicities. In 2005, the US Food and Drug Administration revised the drug label to indicate that patients with UGT1A1*28 homozygous genotype should receive a decreased dose of irinotecan. However, UGT1A1*28 testing is not routinely used in the clinic, and specific reasons include lack of access to concise information on this wide issue as well as mixed recommendations by regulatory and professional entities. To assist oncologists in assessing whether and when to use UGT1A1 genetic testing in patients receiving irinotecan-based therapies, this article provided (1) essential knowledge of UGT1A1 polymorphisms; (2) an update on the impact of UGT1A1 polymorphisms on efficacy and toxicity of contemporary irinotecan-based regimens; (3) dosing adjustments based upon the UGT1A1 genotypes, and (4) recommendations from currently available guidelines from the US and international scientific consortia and major oncology societies.
