Irinotecan • Cytotoxic agent approved for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) • Usually administered in combination with 5-FU • Also active in many other malignant diseases • Usage limited by toxicity • Life-threatening neutropenia (and associated infection) • Primarily on q3 week schedule • Severe or life-threatening diarrhea (requiring parenteral fluids and/or hospitalization) • Primarily on weekly (4 on, 2 off) schedule
1st line therapy 5-FU + leucovorin Irinotecan Oxaliplatin Capecitabine Bevacizumab 2nd line therapy Irinotecan Oxaliplatin 5-FU + leucovorin Cetuximab Irinotecan is one of many FDA-approved choices for metastatic CRC
How might clinicians choose among various choices? • Personal experience • Interpretation of phase III data • Marketing influences • Reimbursement • Chemosensitivity testing • Genotyping

Neutropenia (q3 wk schedule) is Correlated with UGT1A1 Genotype (*28)(Innocenti et al, JCO, 2004) Bar represents median values. Nonparametric trend analysis among 6/6, 6/7, 7/7, p<0.01
UGT1A1 Testing for Gr 4 Neutropenia After CPT-11 (350 mg/m2 q 3 wks) • Sensitivity • 50% of pts who have Gr 4 neutropenia are 7/7 • Specificity • 95% of pts who do not have Gr 4 neutropenia are not 7/7
UGT1A1 Testing for Gr 4 Neutropenia After CPT-11 (350 mg/m2 q 3 wks) • Positive predictive value • 50% of pts who are 7/7 have Gr 4 neutropenia • Negative predictive value • 95% of pts who are not 7/7 do not have Gr 4 neutropenia
UGT1A1 Testing for Gr 4 Neutropenia After CPT-11 (350 mg/m2 q 3 wks) • Without testing, 100% of pts are treated and 10% have Gr 4 neutropenia • With testing, 90% of pts are treated and 5% have Gr 4 neutropenia • 5% absolute reduction • Test 20 to protect 1
Hypothesis • Pharmacogenetic testing will improve outcomes in metastatic CRC • Will allow clinician to select drug regimen based on patient’s genetic (germline) characteristics • Will lead to reduced toxicity • Will lead to increased efficacy
UGT1A1 Testing • Sufficient data exist to recommend that patients who are homozygous for *28 should not receive irinotecan at standard doses • Alternative options • Accept greater toxicity • Reduce dose • Use alternative regimen (eg, oxaliplatin-based)
UGT1A1 Testing • The optimal treatment of patients who are at reduced risk of irinotecan toxicity (eg, *1/*1) is unclear • Standard irinotecan-based regimens • High-dose irinotecan-based regimens • May lead to increased efficacy • Oxaliplatin-based regimens
Most Common Mutation in DPD • Exon 14-skipping mutation (Meinsma, DNA Cell Biol, 1995) • allelic frequency of approximately 0.01
DPD Testing (Exon 14-Skipping Mutation) for Gr 4 5-FU Toxicity • Without test, all pts get treated and approximately 3% of pts will have toxicity • With test, 98% of pts get treated and approximately 2% of pts will have toxicity • 1% absolute reduction • Test 100 to protect 1

Parting Words • Oncology is widely anticipated to be the best model for demonstrating the clinical importance of pharmacogenetics (germline polymorphisms) • Colorectal cancer is an important model because of the large number of active agents • We have candidate genes, candidate polymorphisms, and abundant clinical data
