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

Abstract 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 a...

description Abstract 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). Results We found 17 (25%) of our patients to be homozygous for UGT1A1*28 and 24 (35.3%) were heterozygous. Of seven African American patients with triple‐negative breast cancer, five were homozygous for UGT1A1*28 and two were heterozygous. Patients with a homozygous UGT1A1*28 genotype were significantly more likely to have treatment terminated because of adverse effects. However, the polymorphism was not associated with treatment discontinuation because of disease progression. Conclusion This retrospective, real‐world analysis suggests potential clinical utility in UGT1A1 testing for patients receiving sacituzumab, but future trials are needed to confirm the association between genotypes and treatment outcomes.
