Aim: To evaluate potential pharmacogenetic effects of UGT1A1 polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of dolutegravir (Tivicay®; ViiV Healthcare, NC, USA), an HIV-1 integrase inhibitor.

Patients & Methods: Analysis of pooled data from nine Phase I and II clinical studies was undertaken for 89 subjects receiving repeat dolutegravir 50 mg once daily (tablet formulation) who were genotyped for known UGT1A1 functional variants.

Results: Geometric mean ratio (92% CI) for subjects carrying low (*28/*28 and *28/*37) and reduced activity (*1/*6, *1/*28, *1/*37, *28/*36 and *36/*37) polymorphisms compared with subjects with normal activity (*1/*1 and *1/*36) showed decreased oral clearance (CL/F; 0.765 [92% CI: 0.659-0.889]), increased area under the concentration-time curve (AUC(0-τ); 1.307 [1.125-1.518]) and C(max) (1.221 [1.063-1.402]), respectively.

Conclusion: Increased dolutegravir exposure in carriers of UGT1A1 reduced function polymorphisms is not clinically significant based on accumulated safety data so dose adjustment in these individuals is not required.

Objectives: Genetic variants with associated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects have an impact on the development of adverse drug reactions and survival of patients with colorectal cancer.

Methods: A selection of genetic variants was performed according to the established chemotherapy and the pharmacogenetic databases. Genotyping was performed using MassArray technology (Agena Bioscience).

Inhibition of OATP1B1/3 Rather Than UGT1A1 May Be the Major Cause of the Bilirubin Elevation After Atazanavir Administration.

Clin Pharmacol Ther

December 2024

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy, University of the Pacific, Stockton, California, USA.

Atazanavir has been reported to increase total serum bilirubin level up to ninefold. It is widely believed that the observed total bilirubin elevation is primarily due to UGT1A1 inhibition. However, UGT enzymes are well-known as a low-affinity and high-capacity system, and the observed drug-drug interaction mediated by UGTs is usually less than twofold.

Article Synopsis
  • Genetic factors are important in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) linked to genetic disorders, with the study focusing on identifying mutation characteristics.
  • A retrospective study involved 105 newborns with NH due to genetic conditions, using a 24-gene panel for sequencing and statistical analysis.
  • Results highlighted 17 frequently mutated genes, with specific mutations identified in neonatal Gilbert syndrome and Wilson's disease, indicating that certain mutations correlate with higher risks of NH in newborns.

PACIFIC-PGx evaluated the feasibility of implementing pharmacogenetics (PGx) screening in Australia and the impact of DPYD/UGT1A1 genotype-guided dosing on severe fluoropyrimidine (FP) and irinotecan-related toxicities and hospitalizations, compared to historical controls. This prospective single arm trial enrolled patients starting FP/irinotecan for any cancer between 7 January 2021 and 25 February 2022 from four Australian hospitals (one metropolitan, three regional). During the accrual period, 462/487 (95%) consecutive patients screened for eligibility for DPYD and 50/109 (46%) for UGT1A1 were enrolled and genotyped (feasibility analysis), with 276/462 (60%) for DPYD and 30/50 (60%) for UGT1A1 received FP/irinotecan (safety analysis).

Background: Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is a promising Trop-2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) approved for the treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Early phase clinical trials have demonstrated good clinical activity and safety profile of SG in various tumor types, albeit with differing response rates and durations. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of SG and the influence of UGT1A1*28 genotype in clinical trials involving solid tumors.
