UGT1A1 Genotype-Guided Dosing of Irinotecan: Time to Prioritize Patient Safety

Abstract: Tweetable abstract Pretreatment UGT1A1 genotyping and a 70% irinotecan dose intensity in poor metabolizers is safe, feasible, cost-effective and essential for safe irinotecan treatment in cancer patients. It is time to update guidelines to swiftly enable the implementation of UGT1A1 genotype-guided irinotecan dosing in routine oncology care.

“…These reactions are catalyzed by carboxylesterase and UGT1A1, respectively. The genetic variant UGT1A1 *28 is associated with decreased glucuronidation activity, which in turn prolongs the mean half-life of the metabolite SN-38 and increases patient susceptibility to gastrointestinal and hematologic toxicity ( Iyer et al, 2002 ; Innocenti et al, 2004 ; Peeters et al, 2023 ). Similar toxicities to irinotecan have been noted in patients carrying polymorphisms in the ETS1 and ABCG2 genes, which encode carboxylesterase and a membrane transporter, respectively ( De With et al, 2023 ).…”
