Brief summary

Phase I trial to study genetic testing and the effectiveness of irinotecan in treating patients who have solid tumors and lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Genetic testing for a specific enzyme may help doctors determine whether side effects from or response to chemotherapy are related to a person's genetic makeup

Detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Classify patients with solid tumors or lymphoma according to UGT1A1 promoter (TATA box) and coding region (Gly71Arg) mutation, and CYP3A4 promoter (G to A) polymorphisms. II. Identify UGT1A1 enzyme glucuronidator and irinotecan oxidizer phenotypes in these patients and determine the correlation between the two metabolic reactions in vivo. III. Determine the relationship between UGT1A1 genotype (promoter and/or coding region mutation) and CYP3A4 promoter genotype vs gastrointestinal or bone marrow toxicity, and pharmacokinetics of irinotecan in these patients. IV. Determine the pharmacokinetics of irinotecan in these patients. OUTLINE: Patients are genotyped for UGT1A1 enzyme and classified as Gilbert's (7/7), heterozygotes (6/7), and homozygotes for allele 6 (6/6). The DNA is analyzed for the UGT1A1 coding region mutation (Gly71Arg) and CYP3A4 promoter polymorphism. Patients are also examined for glucuronidator ratio of SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan, and classified as low/slow (very low or zero SN-38G/SN-38 ratio), intermediate (less than 50% normal ratio), or normal. Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes once every 3 weeks. Treatment continues for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Grade 3-4 diarrheaUp to 4 yearsA Cochran-Armitage test for trend will be used to determine whether there is a linear trend in the proportion of patients within each genotype experiencing grade 3-4 diarrhea. Similarly, trend analysis will be performed to determine if there is a linear trend in the proportion of patients within each phenotype experiencing grade 3-4 myelosuppression. Genotype (3 ordered levels) will be modeled as a function of metabolic ratios and biliary index to determine whether these are independent.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
GenotypeUp to 4 yearsA chi-squared test will be used to determine whether genotype and phenotype are independent.
PhenotypeUp to 4 yearsA chi-squared test will be used to determine whether genotype and phenotype are independent. Modeled as a function of metabolic ratios and biliary index.
