GENOCARE: A Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial of Genotype-Guided Dosing Versus Usual Care

This is a prospective, randomized study designed to compare genotype-guided dosing to usual care in patients with pancreas cancer and colorectal cancer who are UGT1A1 intermediate metabolizers (*1/*28) (heterozygotes) and usual UGT metabolizers (*1/*1). All patients will be assessed for UGT1A1 genotype at screening and those with intermediate or usual UGT1A1 genotypes (*1/*28, *1/*1) will be randomized to genotype-guided dosing versus usual care.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients must have histologically confirmed stage I-IV pancreas or stage III-IV colorectal cancer who are planning to undergo treatment.
  • Prior treatment is allowed, specifically surgery and/or radiation and non-irinotecan containing regimens are allowed.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • ECOG performance status ≤ 1.
  • Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • Measurable or non-measurable disease.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients who received prior treatment with irinotecan are excluded.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with targeted therapy, in the opinion of the treating physician.

Irinotecan

Drug

Usual dosing per package insert.

Other names: Nano-liposomal Irinotecan, Onyvide

Primary outcomes

  1. Adverse Events Frequency

    Time frame: 6 months

    To compare the frequency of cycle 1 grade 3-5 adverse effects in individuals with a *1/*28 or *1/*1 genotype who receive genotype-guided dosing and to those who are randomized to receive usual care.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival

    Time frame: 5 years

    To evaluate overall survival between individuals randomized to receive genotype-guided dosing and those who are randomized to receive usual care.
