Potential Explanations:Societal • Socioeconomic Issues • Hypothesis: AA have less access to medical care • Corollary: AA are diagnosed at later stage • Hypothesis: AA often are of lower socioeconomic status • Corollary: AA have poorer access to ideal care
Potential Explanations:Biological • Tumor Biology • Hypothesis: AA have more aggressive disease • Corollary: AA have a worse outcome regardless of access • Host Biology • Hypothesis: AA respond differently to chemotherapy • Corollary: AA should have different treatment algorithms and may benefit from the use of different drugs or different drug doses
Specific Aims • Compare AA to C patients enrolled in N9741 • RR, TTP, and OS • Chemotherapy toxicities • Prevalence of polymorphisms in key genes coding for enzymes involved in drug metabolism • Correlate clinical endpoints & polymorphisms
N9741: Schema 1412 stage IV patients 486 with pharmacogenetic data RANDOMI ZAT ION IFL: Irinotecan + 5-FU/LV FOLFOX: Oxaliplatin + 5-FU/LV IROX: Irinotecan + oxaliplatin

Polymorphisms inUGT1A1 do not predict diarrhea or overall toxicity

Conclusions: Among the Patients in This Trial • AA have a significantly lower RR • No differences in TTP were observed • Differences in OS were inconsistent between AA and C • AA have significantly less severe toxicity, mainly less severe diarrhea • AA and C have significantly different frequencies of polymorphisms in candidate genes coding for key enzymes involved in drug activation, metabolism, and disposition
Implications • FOLFOX remains the preferred regimen in AA & C • Dose escalation may be possible in some AAs • Caution: Correlation of polymorphisms with response and toxicity may not be causal • More research in bigger populations is indicated • FOCUS (2135 pts) and CALGB/SWOG 80405 (2380 pts) have/are collecting germline DNA for pharmacogenetics
