491 Background: Infusional fluorouracil/leucovorin plus irinotecan-based regimen (FOLFIRI) with bevacizumab has been widely used as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We prospectively analyzed the influence of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) genotyping for irinotecan dose escalation in mCRC patients treated with combination of FOLFIRI and bevacizumab as the first-line setting. Methods: A total of 65 mCRC patients undergoing first-line treatment with FOLFIRI combined with bevacizumab were analyzed. Genotypes were performed by analyzing the sequence of TATA box of UGT1A1 of genomic DNA from the patients. Genotype and clinical parameters were compared by univariate analysis. The irinotecan dose is escalating form 180 mg/m2 to 260 mg/m2 in UGT1A1 6/6 or 6/7, and from 120 mg/m2 to 210 mg/m2 in UGT1A17/7. Results: The response rate was observed in 44 of 60 UGT1A1 6/6 or 6/7 (73.3%) in comparison to 1 of 5 UGT1A1 7/7 (20%) patients (p=0.013). The grade III-IV adverse events (AE) was observed in 4 of 60 UGT1A1 6/6 or 6/7 (6.7%) in comparison to 3 of 5 UGT1A1 7/7 (60%) patients (p<0.001), but it was not different between age of ≥ 70 and < 70 (p=0.559). Fifteen of 60 (20%) patients with UGT1A1 6/6 or 6/7 could be performed with liver or lung metastaectomy in comparison to none of 5 patients with UGT1A1 7/7. In addition, the disease control rate was significantly higher in irinotecan dose of ≥ 210 mg/m2 than irinotecan dose of < 210 mg/m2(p=0.015). Conclusions: UGT1A1 promoter polymorphism was found to be predictive of toxicity and efficacy in mCRC patients with first-line treatment of FOLFIRI combined with bevacizumab. The higher dose of irinotecan (≥ 210 mg/m2) may achieve a better disease control rate but do not increase the incidence of GR III-IV AE in mCRC patients of age ≥ 70 years.

Irinotecan Dose

625 Background: The polymorphisms of genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes can play a crucial role in the increased susceptibility of patients to chemotherapy. This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial to compare the clinical outcomes and adverse events in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients treated with bevacizumab plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin/irinotecan (FOLFIRI) with or without UGT1A1genotyping and irinotecan dose escalation as the first-line setting (NCT02256800). Methods: The enrolled patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups on the basis of receiving UGT1A1 genotyping or not. The study group receives a biweekly FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab, with irinotecan dose escalation based on UGT1A1 genotyping; whereas the control group receives the conventional biweekly FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab without UGT1A1 genotyping. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR), and the second endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicities between the two groups. Results: BetweenAugust 2013 and May 2016, eighty-eight mCRC patients were enrolled, including 45 patients in the study group and 43 patients in the control group. With a median follow up time of 12.5 months (range, 5-30), the ORR was 71.4% vs. 44.2% ( P = 0.011). The PFS was 14.04 ± 1.44 vs. 9.08 ± 0.58 months in study group and control group ( P = 0.195), OS was 19.12 ± 1.24 vs. 14.16 ± 1.04 months ( P = 0.098), and ≥ Gr. III anemia was 2.2% vs. 23.3% ( P= 0.002) in study group and control group, respectively. However, there were no significant differences in ≥ Gr. III leukopenia or diarrhea even though the 1.36 fold relative dose intensity (RDI) in the study group. Conclusions: In the current study, patients with mCRC undergoing UGT1A1 genotyping may receive escalated doses of irinotecan for a potentially more favorable clinical response and outcome, in addition to acceptable toxicities. Such a personalized medicine based on genotyping may be feasible for potentially clinical practice. Clinical trial information: NCT02256800.
