This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of UGT1A1 genotyping in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer undergoing irinotecan-based chemotherapy compared to no testing from the perspective of the German statutory health insurance.
Recommendations from the EGAPP Working Group: can UGT1A1 genotyping reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with irinotecan?
A Phase II study of clinical outcomes of 3-week cycles of irinotecan and S-1 in patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer: influence of the UGT1A1 and CYP2A6 polymorphisms on clinical activity.
This phase II study aimed to evaluate the combination of high-dose FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab in patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC) based on their UGT1A1 genotype.
We report here a case of a metastatic colorectal cancer patient who is heterozygous for the UGT1A1 28 polymorphism (TA 6/7) as well as the UGT1A1 6 polymorphism (G/A).
UGT1A1(*)28 genotype was determined in 218 patients receiving irinotecan (either first-line therapy with capecitabine or second-line as monotherapy) for metastatic colorectal cancer.
A phase I study of UGT1A1 *28/*6 genotype-directed dosing of irinotecan (CPT-11) in Korean patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving FOLFIRI.
Genotypes were retrospectively evaluated by gene scan analysis on the ABI 310 sequencer of the TATAA box in the promoter region of the UGT1A1 gene in blood samples from 105 patients who had received 1st line irinotecan-based chemotherapy for mCRC.
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is a pivotal enzyme involved in metabolism of SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan commonly used to treat metastatic colorectal cancer.
PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients undergoing first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) eligible for treatment with irinotecan plus infusional fluorouracil/leucovorin (FOLFIRI) were screened for the UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype and excluded from the study.
SN-38 is inactivated by uridine disphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1 (UGT1A1) into the inactive compound SN-38G, which is excreted with the bile.This review concentrates on a critical evaluation of UGT1A1 gene polymorphism as a predictor of toxicity and treatment efficacy in patients who received irinotecan for metastatic colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this pharmacogenetic trial was to study the relevance of thymidylate synthase (TS) genotyping and of the isoform 1A1 of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) in order to tailor a combination chemotherapy regimen of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) in metastatic colorectal cancer.
The objective of this study was to examine the cost effectiveness of using a pharmacogenetic test for uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase 1A1*28 (UGT1A1*28) variant homozygosity before administering irinotecan to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
In this study, we determined the dose, efficacy, and tolerability of irinotecan according to UGT1A1 genotypes when combined with capecitabine in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Patients with mCRC undergoing UGT1A1 genotyping may receive escalated doses of irinotecan to obtain a better clinical response/outcome with comparable toxicities.
A distinct distribution pattern of UGT1A1 genotypes in Chinese patients might contribute to relatively low toxicity associated with irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil in mCRC patients.
To report a metastatic colorectal cancer patient with hyperbilirubinemia treated with a combination of bevacizumab and FOLFIRI (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan) using uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase (UGT1A1) genotyping.
This trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial comparing UGT1A1 promoter polymorphism for irinotecan dose escalation in mCRC patients administered with bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI as the first-line setting.
However, homozygosity for UGT1A1 28 or UGT1A1 6 and double heterozygosity for both UGT1A1 28 and UGT1A1 6 were significantly associated with severe neutropenia in metastatic colorectal cancer patients (P< 0.001).
There is solid evidence supporting the use of BRAF status as a prognostic biomarker and DYPD, UGT1A1, RAS, and microsatellite instability as predictive biomarkers in mCRC.
The purpose of this study was to determine the associations between UGT1A1(*)28 and (*)6 polymorphisms and irinotecan toxicity in Thai patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Correlative analysis of plasma SN-38 levels and DPD activity with outcomes of FOLFIRI regimen for metastatic colorectal cancer with UGT1A1 *28 and *6 wild type and its implication for individualized chemotherapy.
