Study to assess how genetic differences (UGT1A1 gene variation) affect the safety of irinotecan treatment in cancer patients at a tertiary care hospital in South India.

A prospective observational study to determine the influence of the UGT1A1 gene polymorphism on the safety profile of IRINOTECAN in cancer patients in a tertiary care centre in South India. - IRINOGEN

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) Adult patients (greater than 18 years) with histologically or cytologically confirmed colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, or small cell lung cancer who are scheduled to receive or currently receiving an irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimen (e.g., FOLFIRI, FOLFOXIRI, FOLFIRINOX). 2) Patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 2. 3) Patients with adequate baseline organ function as per institutional protocol as defined by Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 150 per cu. mm Platelet count greater than or equal to 100,000 per cu. mm White blood cell count greater than or equal to 3000 per cu. mm Serum bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) and transaminases less than or equal to 2.5 times ULN (less than or equal to 5 times ULN if liver metastases are present) Creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 50 mL per min (calculated by Cockcroft Gault or institutional method) 4) Patients willing and able to provide written informed consent for participation and genetic testing (UGT1A1 genotyping). 5) Patients residing in South India and able to understand study-related instructions in the local language to ensure compliance with follow-up.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Pregnant or lactating women. 2) Patients unwilling or unable to provide written informed consent. 3) Patients with inadequate baseline hematological, hepatic, or renal function as defined in the inclusion criteria. 4) Patients with uncontrolled comorbidities (e.g., unstable cardiac disease, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes) or active infections that may interfere with study participation or irinotecan administration, in the investigator s judgment. 5) Prior severe hypersensitivity reaction to irinotecan or other components of the planned chemotherapy regimen.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the association between UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms and the safety profile of irinotecan in patients with colorectal, pancreatic, and small cell lung cancers receiving irinotecan-based regimens at SVIMS, South India.Timepoint: 1 year

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) To determine the frequency distribution of UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms in the study population. 2) To assess the correlation between UGT1A1 polymorphisms and the incidence, severity, frequency, and type of irinotecan-related adverse drug reactions (ADRs). 3) To explore the impact of UGT1A1 polymorphisms on treatment modifications (dose reduction, delay, or discontinuation). 4) To evaluate the role of pharmacogenomic profiling in optimizing irinotecan therapy and improving patient safety. Timepoint: 1 year
