UGT1A1*28 polymorphism and the risk of toxicity and disease progression in patients with breast cancer receiving sacituzumab govitecan.

Background: Sacituzumab govitecan (sacituzumab) emerged as an important agent in metastatic and locally recurrent HER2-negative breast cancer treatment. UGT1A1 polymorphisms have also been shown to predict sacituzumab toxicity.

Methods: In this retrospective study, we sought to evaluate the associations between UGT1A1 status, toxicity, and therapeutic outcomes in sacituzumab recipients with advanced breast cancer who underwent genotype testing for UGT1A1 alleles (N = 68).
