A Genotype-guided Study of Irinotecan Administered in Combination With 5-fluorouracil/Leucovorin (FOLFIRI) and Bevacizumab in Advanced Colorectal Cancer Patients
Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma
- No prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease
- Age ≥18 years
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 (5. Life expectancy > 3 months
- Adequate organ function, including bone marrow (absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥l500/μl, haemoglobin ≥ 9g/dL, platelets ≥ 100,000/ μl); hepatic (total bilirubin < 1.6 mg/dl;SGOT and SGPT < 2.5 x upper limit of normal for patients without liver metastases and < 5x upper limit of normal for patients with liver metastases); and renal (serum creatinine ≤ 1.5x upper limit of normal).
- Patients who are eligible to be registered in the study, based upon the above criteria, will be genotyped for the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism and stratified into two groups based on the presence of the UGT1A1*1/*1 or UGT1A1*1/*28 genotype.
- Patients with the UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype or carriers of the other alleles (TA5 and TA8)will be excluded.
- For patients to be evaluable for response (a secondary end point), they must have at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST (i.e., lesions that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension with the longest diameter ≥ 20 mm using conventional techniques or ≥ 10 mm using spiral CT scan).
- Patients without measurable lesions can be included and will be evaluated only for toxicity.
- Signed informed consent and local IRB approval is required.
- Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation, up until 30 days after final study treatment. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect that she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior irinotecan or bevacizumab treatment
- Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis)
- Diarrhea greater than grade 1
- Bowel obstruction
- Documented brain metastases
- Serious active infectious disease
- Active uncontrolled bleeding or fistulas
- Pregnancy
- Radiotherapy or major surgery within 4 weeks
- Previous or concurrent malignancy, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or any other cancer for which the patient has been disease-free for five years.

UGT1A1*1/*1
UGT1A1*1/*28
Participants with UGT1A1*/*1 genotype will receive escalating doses of FOLFIRI (folinic acid+fluorouracil+irinotecan) and bevacizumab. The initial dose of irinotecan will be 260 mg/m2 administered as a 120 min intravenous infusion every two weeks. The dosage of irinotecan will be increased to 310, 370, and 420 mg/m2, and further irinotecan doses will be increased by 14%. 5-FU will be administered as a 400 mg/m2 bolus right after the end of the irinotecan infusion, followed by 2,400 mg/m2 over a 46 h continuous infusion plus LV 200 mg/m2 every two weeks. Bevacizumab will be administered at a dose of 5 mg/kg over 15-30 min IV (after an initial 90 min infusion without a reaction) every two weeks. The first dose will be administrated on day 2 (48 hours after the first irinotecan administration), while the second dose on day 14 (the same day as the second irinotecan administration). No dose escalation will be performed for 5-FU, LV or bevacizumab.
