Implementing a pragmatic clinical trial to tailor opioids for chronic pain on behalf of the IGNITE ADOPT PGx investigators. Clin Transl Sci 2024; 17:e70005.

Abstract
Chronic pain is a prevalent condition with enormous economic burden. Opioids such as tramadol, codeine, and hydrocodone are commonly used to treat chronic pain; these drugs are activated to more potent opioid receptor agonists by the hepatic CYP2D6 enzyme. Results from clinical studies and mechanistic understandings suggest that CYP2D6-guided therapy will improve pain control and reduce adverse drug events. However, CYP2D6 is rarely used in clinical practice due in part to the demand for additional clinical trial evidence. Thus, we designed the ADOPT-PGx (A Depression and Opioid Pragmatic Trial in Pharmacogenetics) chronic pain study, a multicenter, pragmatic, randomized controlled clinical trial, to assess the effect of CYP2D6 testing on pain management. The study enrolled 1048 participants who are taking or being considered for treatment with CYP2D6-impacted opioids for their chronic pain. Participants were randomized to receive immediate or delayed (by 6 months) genotyping of CYP2D6 with clinical decision support (CDS). CDS encouraged the providers to follow the CYP2D6-guided trial recommendations. The primary study outcome is the 3-month absolute change in the composite pain intensity score assessed using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures. Follow-up will be completed in July 2024. Herein, we describe the design of this trial along with challenges encountered during enrollment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency are at high risk for severe and fatal toxicity from fluoropyrimidine (FP) chemotherapy. Pre-treatment DPYD testing is standard of care in many countries, but not the United States (US). This survey assessed pre-treatment DPYD testing approaches in the US to identify best practices for broader adoption. METHODS From August to October 2023, a 22-item QualtricsXM survey was sent to institutions and clinicians known to conduct pre-treatment DPYD testing and broadly distributed through relevant organizations and social networks. Responses were analyzed using descriptive analysis. RESULTS Responses from 24 unique US sites that have implemented pre-treatment DPYD testing or have a detailed implementation plan in place were analyzed. Only 33% of sites ordered DPYD testing for all FP-treated patients; at the remaining sites, patients were tested depending on disease characteristics or clinician preference. Almost 50% of sites depend on individual clinicians to remember to order testing without the assistance of electronic alerts or workflow reminders. DPYD testing was most often conducted by commercial laboratories that tested for at least the four or five DPYD variants considered clinically actionable. Approximately 90% of sites reported receiving results within 10 days of ordering. CONCLUSION Implementing DPYD testing into routine clinical practice is feasible and requires a coordinated effort among the healthcare team. These results will be used to develop best practices for the clinical adoption of DPYD testing to prevent severe and fatal toxicity in cancer patients receiving FP chemotherapy.

Clin Transl Sci 2024; 17:e13737. [PMID: 38421234 PMCID: PMC10903329 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Pharmacogenomics has the potential to inform drug dosing and selection, reduce adverse events, and improve medication efficacy; however, provider knowledge of pharmacogenomic testing varies across provider types and specialties. Given that many actionable pharmacogenomic genes are implicated in cardiovascular medication response variability, this study aimed to evaluate cardiology providers' knowledge and attitudes on implementing clinical pharmacogenomic testing. Sixty-one providers responded to an online survey, including pharmacists (46%), physicians (31%), genetic counselors (15%), and nurses (8%). Most respondents (94%) reported previous genetics education; however, only 52% felt their genetics education prepared them to order a clinical pharmacogenomic test. In addition, most respondents (66%) were familiar with pharmacogenomics, with genetic counselors being most likely to be familiar (p < 0.001). Only 15% of respondents had previously ordered a clinical pharmacogenomic test and a total of 36% indicated they are likely to order a pharmacogenomic test in the future; however, the vast majority of respondents (89%) were interested in pharmacogenomic testing being incorporated into diagnostic cardiovascular genetic tests. Moreover, 84% of providers preferred pharmacogenomic panel testing compared to 16% who preferred single gene testing. Half of the providers reported being comfortable discussing pharmacogenomic results with their patients, but the majority (60%) expressed discomfort with the logistics of test ordering. Reported barriers to implementation included uncertainty about the clinical utility and difficulty choosing an appropriate test. Taken together, cardiology providers have moderate familiarity with pharmacogenomics and limited experience with test ordering; however, they are interested in incorporating pharmacogenomics into diagnostic genetic tests and ordering pharmacogenomic panels.

CYP2D6-guided opioid therapy for adults with cancer pain: A randomized implementation clinical trial. Pharmacotherapy 2023; 43:1286-1296. [PMID: 37698371 PMCID: PMC10840965 DOI: 10.1002/phar.2875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The CYP2D6 enzyme metabolizes opioids commonly prescribed for cancer-related pain, and CYP2D6 polymorphisms may contribute to variability in opioid response. We evaluated the feasibility of implementing CYP2D6-guided opioid prescribing for patients with cancer and reported pilot outcome data. METHODS Adult patients from two cancer centers were prospectively enrolled into a hybrid implementation-effectiveness clinical trial and randomized to CYP2D6-genotype-guided opioid selection, with clinical recommendations, or usual care. Implementation metrics, including provider response, medication changes consistent with recommendations, and patient-reported pain and symptom scores at baseline and up to 8 weeks, were assessed. RESULTS Most (87/114, 76%) patients approached for the study agreed to participate. Of 85 patients randomized, 71% were prescribed oxycodone at baseline. The median (range) time to receive CYP2D6 test results was 10 (3-37) days; 24% of patients had physicians acknowledge genotype results in a clinic note. Among patients with CYP2D6-genotype-guided recommendations to change therapy (n = 11), 18% had a change congruent with recommendations. Among patients who completed baseline and follow-up questionnaires (n = 48), there was no difference in change in mean composite pain score (-1.01 ± 2.1 vs. -0.41 ± 2.5; p = 0.19) or symptom severity at last follow-up (3.96 ± 2.18 vs. 3.47 ± 1.78; p = 0.63) between the usual care arm (n = 26) and genotype-guided arm (n = 22), respectively. CONCLUSION Our study revealed high acceptance of pharmacogenetic testing as part of a clinical trial among patients with cancer pain. However, provider response to genotype-guided recommendations was low, impacting assessment of pain-related outcomes. Addressing barriers to utility of pharmacogenetics results and clinical recommendations will be critical for implementation success.

The INGENIOUS trial: Impact of pharmacogenetic testing on adverse events in a pragmatic clinical trial. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2023; 23:169-177. [PMID: 37689822 PMCID: PMC10805517 DOI: 10.1038/s41397-023-00315-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
Adverse drug events (ADEs) account for a significant mortality, morbidity, and cost burden. Pharmacogenetic testing has the potential to reduce ADEs and inefficacy. The objective of this INGENIOUS trial (NCT02297126) analysis was to determine whether conducting and reporting pharmacogenetic panel testing impacts ADE frequency. The trial was a pragmatic, randomized controlled clinical trial, adapted as a propensity matched analysis in individuals (N = 2612) receiving a new prescription for one or more of 26 pharmacogenetic-actionable drugs across a community safety-net and academic health system. The intervention was a pharmacogenetic testing panel for 26 drugs with dosage and selection recommendations returned to the health record. The primary outcome was occurrence of ADEs within 1 year, according to modified Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). In the propensity-matched analysis, 16.1% of individuals experienced any ADE within 1-year. Serious ADEs (CTCAE level ≥ 3) occurred in 3.2% of individuals. When combining all 26 drugs, no significant difference was observed between the pharmacogenetic testing and control arms for any ADE (Odds ratio 0.96, 95% CI: 0.78-1.18), serious ADEs (OR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.58-1.40), or mortality (OR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.28-1.21). However, sub-group analyses revealed a reduction in serious ADEs and death in individuals who underwent pharmacogenotyping for aripiprazole and serotonin or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (OR 0.34, 95% CI: 0.12-0.85). In conclusion, no change in overall ADEs was observed after pharmacogenetic testing. However, limitations incurred during INGENIOUS likely affected the results. Future studies may consider preemptive, rather than reactive, pharmacogenetic panel testing.

Abstract
Aim: To advance clinical adoption and implementation of pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing, barriers and facilitators to these efforts must be understood. This study identified and examined barriers and facilitators to active implementation of a PGx program across multiple clinic settings in an academic healthcare system. Materials & methods: 28 contributors to the PGx implementation (e.g., clinical providers, informatics specialists) completed an interview to elicit their perceptions of the implementation. Results: Qualitative analysis identified several barriers and facilitators that spanned different stages of the implementation process. Specifically, unclear test payment mechanisms, decision support tool development, rigid workflows and provider education were noted as barriers to the PGx implementation. A multidisciplinary implementation team and leadership support emerged as key facilitators. Furthermore, participants also suggested strategies to overcome or maintain these factors. Conclusion: Assessing real-world implementation perceptions and suggested strategies from a range of implementation contributors facilitates a more comprehensive framework and best-practice guidelines for PGx implementation.

Current published evidence on barriers and proposed strategies for genetic testing implementation in health care settings: A scoping review. J Am Pharm Assoc (2003) 2023; 63:998-1016. [PMID: 37119989 DOI: 10.1016/j.japh.2023.04.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The slow uptake of genetic testing in routine clinical practice warrants the attention of researchers and practitioners to find effective strategies to facilitate implementation. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to identify the barriers to and strategies for pharmacogenetic testing implementation in a health care setting from published literature. METHODS A scoping review was conducted in August 2021 with an expanded literature search using Ovid MEDLINE, Web of Science, International Pharmaceutical Abstract, and Google Scholar to identify studies reporting implementation of pharmacogenetic testing in a health care setting, from a health care system's perspective. Articles were screened using DistillerSR and findings were organized using the 5 major domains of Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). RESULTS A total of 3536 unique articles were retrieved from the above sources, with only 253 articles retained after title and abstract screening. Upon screening the full texts, 57 articles (representing 46 unique practice sites) were found matching the inclusion criteria. We found that most reported barriers and their associated strategies to the implementation of pharmacogenetic testing surrounded 2 CFIR domains: intervention characteristics and inner settings. Factors relating to cost and reimbursement were described as major barriers in the intervention characteristics. In the same domain, another major barrier was the lack of utility studies to provide evidence for genetic testing uptake. Technical hurdles, such as integrating genetic information to medical records, were identified as an inner settings barrier. Collaborations and lessons from early implementers could be useful strategies to overcome majority of the barriers across different health care settings. Strategies proposed by the included implementation studies to overcome these barriers are summarized and can be used as guidance in future. CONCLUSION Barriers and strategies identified in this scoping review can provide implementation guidance for practice sites that are interested in implementing genetic testing.

[PMID: 37373874 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13060883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
CYP2D6 duplication has important pharmacogenomic implications. Reflex testing with long-range PCR (LR-PCR) can resolve the genotype when a duplication and alleles with differing activity scores are detected. We evaluated whether visual inspection of plots from real-time-PCR-based targeted genotyping with copy number variation (CNV) detection could reliably determine the duplicated CYP2D6 allele. Six reviewers evaluated QuantStudio OpenArray CYP2D6 genotyping results and the TaqMan Genotyper plots for seventy-three well-characterized cases with three copies of CYP2D6 and two different alleles. Reviewers blinded to the final genotype visually assessed the plots to determine the duplicated allele or opt for reflex sequencing. Reviewers achieved 100% accuracy for cases with three CYP2D6 copies that they opted to report. Reviewers did not request reflex sequencing in 49-67 (67-92%) cases (and correctly identified the duplicated allele in each case); all remaining cases (6-24) were marked by at least one reviewer for reflex sequencing. In most cases with three copies of CYP2D6, the duplicated allele can be determined using a combination of targeted genotyping using real-time PCR with CNV detection without need for reflex sequencing. In ambiguous cases and those with >3 copies, LR-PCR and Sanger sequencing may still be necessary for determination of the duplicated allele.

Abstract
Clinical decision support (CDS) is often cited as an essential part of pharmacogenomics (PGx) implementations. A multitude of strategies are available; however, it is unclear which strategies are effective and which metrics are used to quantify clinical utility. The objective of this scoping review was to aggregate previous studies into a cohesive depiction of the current state of PGx CDS implementations and identify areas for future research on PGx CDS. Articles were included if they (i) described electronic CDS tools for PGx and (ii) reported metrics related to PGx CDS. Twenty of 3,449 articles were included and provided data on PGx CDS metrics from 15 institutions, with 93% of programs located at academic medical centers. The most common tools in CDS implementations were interruptive post-test alerts. Metrics for clinical response and alert response ranged from 12-73% and 21-98%, respectively. Few data were found on changes in metrics over time and measures that drove the evolution of CDS systems. Relatively few data were available regarding support of optimal approaches for PGx CDS. Post-test alerts were the most widely studied approach, and their effectiveness varied greatly. Further research on the usability, effectiveness, and optimization of CDS tools is needed.

Association of CYP2D6 genotype predicted phenotypes with oxycodone requirements and side effects in children undergoing surgery. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2022; 10:1262. [PMID: 36618804 PMCID: PMC9816853 DOI: 10.21037/atm-2022-58] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 10/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Background Oxycodone is a commonly used oral opioid in children for treating postoperative pain. Highly polymorphic gene CYP2D6 metabolizes oxycodone into its more potent metabolite, oxymorphone. We hypothesized that altered activity due to CYP2D6 polymorphisms will influence oxycodone requirements {relative oxycodone use [oxycodone morphine equivalents (MEq)/total MEq] to maintain analgesia} (primary outcome) and risk for oxycodone induced side-effects such as respiratory depression (RD) and emesis (secondary outcomes). We also explored the influence of genotype availability and provider guidance on oral opioid prescription patterns. Methods Patients who underwent Nuss procedure and spine fusion with CYP2D6 genotyping results available preoperatively were included. Data on demographics, genotypes, oral opioids, pain scores, RD and emesis were collected. Univariate and multivariable regression for comparison of CYP2D6 genotype predicted poor, ultrarapid, intermediate metabolizers (PM, UM and IM) phenotype with normal metabolizers (NM) for outcomes were performed. Stratified logistic regression was conducted in low (oxycodone/total MEq <0.5) and high (and oxycodone/total MEq >0.5) oxycodone use groups for RD and emesis, with application of firth correction due to quasi-complete separations. Breslow-Day test was used to evaluate odds ratios for prescribing genotype directed opioid between control group (2012-15) (where providers were alerted to genotyping results availability but not directed to use them while prescribing) and genotype directed groups (2016-18) (where providers were directed to use the genotyping results available to them while prescribing oxycodone after surgery). Results Of 193 subjects (age 15.9±0.25 years, 28.5% female, 93.78% White; 101 NM, 76 IM, 10 PM and 6 UM), 77.72% underwent pectus surgery. CYP2D6 phenotype was associated with oxycodone MEq/total MEq requirements (P<0.001). Both PM and UM phenotypes had lower oxycodone requirements compared to NM [-0.316 (SE 0.098), P=0.005 and -0.432 (SE 0.113), P<0.001 respectively]. CYP2D6 phenotype was associated with RD in high use oxycodone group (P=0.018) but not low use oxycodone groups (P=0.634). No phenotype association was found for emesis. Oxycodone was prescribed to 91.24% of NM/IM vs. 66.67% of PM/UM (P=0.129) in control group and 94.64% of NM/IM vs. 28.57% of PM/UM (P<0.001) in the genotype-directed group. PM/UM phenotypes in genotype directed group had a lower chance of being prescribed oxycodone (effect size =-2.775; SE 1.566; P=0.076). Conclusions Our findings suggest CYP2D6 genotypes are associated with oxycodone requirements for analgesia and may influence risk for RD. Genotype availability and guidance likely influence oral opioid prescription pattern after surgery. Our findings are limited by small sample size for UM/PM groups.

Abstract
The vast majority of patients possess one or more pharmacogenetic variants that can influence optimal medication use. When pharmacogenetic data are used to guide drug choice and dosing, evidence points to improved disease outcomes, fewer adverse effects, and lower healthcare spending. Although its science is well established, clinical use of pharmacogenetic data to guide drug therapy is still in its infancy. Pharmacogenetics essentially involves the intersection of an individual's genetic data with their medications, which makes pharmacists uniquely qualified to provide clinical support and education in this field. In fact, most pharmacogenetics implementations, to date, have been led by pharmacists as leaders or members of a multidisciplinary team or as individual practitioners. A successful large-scale pharmacogenetics implementation requires coordination and synergy among administrators, clinicians, informatics teams, laboratories, and patients. Because clinical implementation of pharmacogenetics is in its early stages, there is an urgent need for guidance and dissemination of shared experiences to provide a framework for clinicians. Many early adopters of pharmacogenetics have explored various strategies among diverse practice settings. This article relies on the experiences of early adopters to provide guidance for critical steps along the pathway to implementation, including strategies to engage stakeholders; evaluate pharmacogenetic evidence; coordinate laboratory testing, results interpretation and their integration into the electronic health record; identify reimbursement avenues; educate providers and patients; and maintain a successful program. Learning from early adopters' published experiences and strategies can allow clinicians leading a new pharmacogenetics implementation to avoid pitfalls and adapt and apply lessons learned by others to their own practice.

Abstract
Genetic testing has evolved rapidly over recent years and new developments have the potential to provide insights that could improve the ability to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases. Information obtained through genetic testing has proven useful in other specialties, such as cardiology and oncology. Nonetheless, a range of barriers impedes techniques, such as whole-exome or whole-genome sequencing, pharmacogenomics, and polygenic risk scoring, from being implemented in psychiatric practice. These barriers may be procedural (e.g., limitations in extrapolating results to the individual level), economic (e.g., perceived relatively elevated costs precluding insurance coverage), or related to clinicians' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (e.g., perceived unfavorable cost-effectiveness, insufficient understanding of probability statistics, and concerns regarding genetic counseling). Additionally, several ethical concerns may arise (e.g., increased stigma and discrimination through exclusion from health insurance). Here, we provide an overview of potential barriers for the implementation of genetic testing in psychiatry, as well as an in-depth discussion of strategies to address these challenges.

Abstract
Background: Pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing, a component of personalized medicine, aims to ensure treatment efficacy while reducing side effects and symptoms. Before this testing becomes routine in the pediatric oncology population, nurses need to understand the knowledge and concerns of providers, patients, and family members with regard to the timing, extent, interpretation, and incorporation of PGx testing. Methods: As part of a comprehensive PGx study (larger study) for children diagnosed with cancer, we surveyed providers and caregivers of children with cancer about their knowledge of and comfort with PGx testing. Caregivers who declined to participate in the larger PGx study were also asked to participate in the survey. Chi-square tests and a two-sample t-test were used to compare variables. Results: One hundred and two participants from the larger PGx study and 12 families who refused (response rate of 77% and 54%, respectively) as well as 29 providers (88%) completed surveys. Families not on the study were less interested in and comfortable with PGx results. Both groups were concerned about health or life insurance discrimination and payment. Providers would like support in ordering PGx testing and interpreting PGx. Discussion: Providers remain wary of most PGx testing, uncomfortable with interpreting and applying the results. Families are interested in the possibilities of personalized prescribing while worried about who has access to their child's genetic information. Further education on relevant tests for providers, including nurses, and the testing process for families, including details on privacy and sharing of genetic information, appear necessary.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Response to analgesic therapy is influenced by several factors including genetics and drug-drug interactions. Pharmacogenetic (PGx) variants in the CYP2D6 gene modify response to opioids by altering drug metabolism. We sought to determine the potential impact of PGx testing on the care of Veterans with noncancer pain prescribed opioids metabolized by CYP2D6 (codeine, hydrocodone, or tramadol). A retrospective analysis was performed within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) evaluating prescription records for pain medications metabolized by CYP2D6 and interacting drugs from 2012-2017. Among 2,436,654 VHA pharmacy users with at least one opioid prescription, 34% met the definition of chronic use (longer than 90 days with more than 10 prescriptions or 120 days- supply). Opioids were commonly co-prescribed with antidepressants interacting with CYP2D6 (28%). An estimated 21.6% (n=526,905) of these patients are at elevated risk of an undesirable response to their opioid medication based on predicted phenotypes and drug-drug interactions: 3.5% are predicted CYP2D6 ultrarapid metabolizers and at increased risk for toxicity, 5.4% are poor metabolizer at higher risk for nonresponse, and 12.8% are normal or intermediate metabolizers co-prescribed a CYP2D6 inhibitor leading to phenoconversion into poor metabolizer. Despite the high rate of co-prescription of opioids and interacting drugs, CYP2D6 testing was infrequent in the sample (0.02%) and chart review suggest that test results were used to optimize antidepressant treatments rather than pain medications. Using pharmacogenetic testing combined with consideration of phenoconversion may allow for an enhanced precision medicine approach to pain management in Veterans.

Abstract
Background: The research considers the impact of genotype-inferred variability on blood levels of amitriptyline and its main metabolites, as may be moderated by phenocopying. Patients & methods: CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genotypes, and serum concentrations of amitriptyline, nortriptyline and hydroxymetabolites, were determined in 33 outpatients. Co-medications were reviewed to identify CYP inhibition risk. Results: CYP2C19 metabolizer status explained interpatient variation in nortriptyline to amitriptyline concentration ratios. The hydroxymetabolite to parent ratios increased with higher CYP2D6 activity scores and lower CYP2D6 inhibition risk. In patients at high CYP2D6 inhibition risk, the amitriptyline + nortriptyline concentration was, on average, 52% above the higher end of expected ranges. Conclusion: Practical construal of pharmacogenetics and drug interactions tantamount to aberrant metabolism can facilitate patient-tailored use of the established drug.

Abstract
Ineffective pain control is the most commonly cited reason for misuse of prescription opioids and is influenced by genetics. In particular, the gene encoding the CYP2D6 enzyme, which metabolizes some of the most commonly prescribed opioids (e.g., tramadol, hydrocodone) to their more potent forms, is highly polymorphic and can lead to reduced concentrations of the active metabolites and decreased opioid effectiveness. Consideration of the CYP2D6 genotype may allow for predicting opioid response and identifying patients who are likely to respond well to lower potency opioids as well as those who may derive greater pain relief from non-opioid analgesics versus certain opioids. There is emerging evidence that a CYP2D6-guided approach to pain management improves pain control and reduces opioid consumption and thus may be a promising means for combating opioid misuse. Clinical practice guidelines are available for select opioids and other analgesics to support medication and dose selection based on pharmacogenetic data. This article describes the evidence supporting genotype-guided pain management as a means of improving pain control and reducing opioid misuse and clinical recommendations for genotype-guided analgesic prescribing. In addition, a "how to" guide using patient case examples is provided to demystify the process for implementing pharmacogenetics-guided pain management in order to optimize analgesia and minimize adverse effects. Optimizing pain management through genotype-guided approaches may ultimately provide safer and more effective therapy for pain control while decreasing the risk for opioid misuse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary supplement use has continued to rise. In addition to supplement-drug interactions, it is prudent to consider how dietary supplements may interact with a patient's specific pharmacogenetics. Variations in genes associated with CYP 450 enzymes have evidence of impacting drug metabolism and adverse effects. AIMS This research was performed to evaluate CYP P450 enzyme activity of the top 15 dietary supplements used in the USA in order to initiate pharmacogenetic considerations specific to commonly used dietary supplements. METHODS The most common dietary supplements used in the USA were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Primary literature detailing supplement CYP P450 activity was compiled from PubMed using MeSH search terms: supplement name(s), cytochrome P450 enzymes, metabolism, and pharmacokinetics. Additional resources utilized for documented CYP enzyme genotypes were the pharmacogenetic databases from Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium and The Pharmacogenomic Variation Consortium. RESULTS Of the 15 most common dietary supplements used in the USA, 53% (cranberry, echinacea, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, melatonin, milk thistle, and valerian) exhibit CYP P450 metabolism, with some having possible induction activity as well. Melatonin and garlic are substrates of CYP1A2 and CYP2C19, respectively. Additionally, there is evidence of echinacea having possible CYP3A4 induction activity. CONCLUSION CYP P450 activity is an important consideration for any patient but becomes increasingly critical if patients have certain CYP P450 phenotypes that impact metabolism. These popular supplements have the potential for changes in supplement exposure, and adverse effects based on pharmacogenetic profiles. Furthermore, these sites of metabolism are shared with many medications, setting the stage for possibly more profound interactions between medications and supplements. This paper highlights the mechanisms in which dietary supplements may constitute a risk for patients with certain CYP P450 phenotypes. Further research is needed in the area of dietary supplements and their pharmacogenomic implications.

Abstract
Psychiatric genomics is providing insights into the nature of psychiatric conditions that in time should identify new drug targets and improve patient care. Less attention has been paid to psychiatric pharmacogenomics research, despite its potential to deliver more rapid change in clinical practice and patient outcomes. The pharmacogenomics of treatment response encapsulates both pharmacokinetic ("what the body does to a drug") and pharmacodynamic ("what the drug does to the body") effects. Despite early optimism and substantial research in both these areas, they have to date made little impact on clinical management in psychiatry. A number of bottlenecks have hampered progress, including a lack of large-scale replication studies, inconsistencies in defining valid treatment outcomes across experiments, a failure to routinely incorporate adverse drug reactions and serum metabolite monitoring in study designs, and inadequate investment in the longitudinal data collections required to demonstrate clinical utility. Nonetheless, advances in genomics and health informatics present distinct opportunities for psychiatric pharmacogenomics to enter a new and productive phase of research discovery and translation.

Multisite evaluation of institutional processes and implementation determinants for pharmacogenetic testing to guide antidepressant therapy. Clin Transl Sci 2021; 15:371-383.

Abstract
There is growing interest in utilizing pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing to guide antidepressant use, but there is lack of clarity on how to implement testing into clinical practice. We administered two surveys at 17 sites that had implemented or were in the process of implementing PGx testing for antidepressants. Survey 1 collected data on the process and logistics of testing. Survey 2 asked sites to rank the importance of Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) constructs using best‐worst scaling choice experiments. Of the 17 sites, 13 had implemented testing and four were in the planning stage. Thirteen offered testing in the outpatient setting, and nine in both outpatient/inpatient settings. PGx tests were mainly ordered by psychiatry (92%) and primary care (69%) providers. CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 were the most commonly tested genes. The justification for antidepressants selected for PGx guidance was based on Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium guidelines (94%) and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA; 75.6%) guidance. Both institutional (53%) and commercial laboratories (53%) were used for testing. Sites varied on the methods for returning results to providers and patients. Sites were consistent in ranking CFIR constructs and identified patient needs/resources, leadership engagement, intervention knowledge/beliefs, evidence strength and quality, and the identification of champions as most important for implementation. Sites deployed similar implementation strategies and measured similar outcomes. The process of implementing PGx testing to guide antidepressant therapy varied across sites, but key drivers for successful implementation were similar and may help guide other institutions interested in providing PGx‐guided pharmacotherapy for antidepressant management.

Abstract
CYP2D6 genotype is increasingly being integrated into practice to guide prescribing of certain medications. The CYP2D6 drug metabolizing enzyme is susceptible to inhibition by concomitant drugs, which can lead to a clinical phenotype that is different from the genotype-based phenotype, a process referred to as phenoconversion. Phenoconversion is highly prevalent but not widely integrated into practice because of either limited experience on how to integrate or lack of knowledge that it has occurred. We built a calculator tool to help clinicians integrate a standardized method of assessing CYP2D6 phenoconversion into practice. During tool-building, we identified several clinical factors that need to be considered when implementing CYP2D6 phenoconversion into clinical practice. This tutorial shares the steps that the University of Florida Health Precision Medicine Program took to build the calculator tool and identified clinical factors to consider when implementing CYP2D6 phenoconversion in clinical practice.

Abstract
The Pharmacogene Variation Consortium (PharmVar) catalogues star (*) allele nomenclature for the polymorphic human CYP2C9 gene. Genetic variation within the CYP2C9 gene locus impacts the metabolism or bioactivation of many clinically important drugs, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, phenytoin, antidiabetic agents, and angiotensin receptor blockers. Variable CYP2C9 activity is of particular importance regarding efficacy and safety of warfarin and siponimod as indicated in their package inserts. This GeneFocus provides a comprehensive overview and summary of CYP2C9 and describes how haplotype information catalogued by PharmVar is utilized by the Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase and the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium.

Abstract
Clinical decision support (CDS) is an essential part of any pharmacogenomics (PGx) implementation. Increasingly, institutions have implemented CDS tools in the clinical setting to bring PGx data into patient care, and several have published their experiences with these implementations. However, barriers remain that limit the ability of some programs to create CDS tools to fit their PGx needs. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to summarize the types, functions, and limitations of PGx CDS currently in practice. Then, we provide an approachable step‐by‐step how‐to guide with a case example to help implementers bring PGx to the front lines of care regardless of their setting. Particular focus is paid to the five “rights” of CDS as a core around designing PGx CDS tools. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of opportunities and areas of growth for PGx CDS.

Abstract
Polypharmacy poses a significant risk for adverse reactions. While there are clinical decision support tools to assist clinicians in medication management, pharmacogenetic testing to identify potential drug-gene or drug-drug-gene interactions is not widely implemented in the clinical setting. A PRISMA-compliant scoping review was performed to determine if pharmacogenetic testing for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME)-related genetic variants is associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with polypharmacy. Six studies were reviewed. Five reported improved clinical outcomes, reduced side effects, reduction in the number of drugs used, or reduced healthcare utilization. The reviewed studies varied in methodological quality, risk of bias, and outcome measures. Age, diet, disease state, and treatment adherence also influence drug response, and may confound the relationship between genetic polymorphisms and treatment outcomes. Further studies using a randomized control design are needed. We conclude that pharmacogenetic testing represents an opportunity to improve health outcomes in patients exposed to polypharmacy, particularly in patients with psychiatric disorders and the elderly.

Abstract
The complexity of genomic medicine can be streamlined by implementing some form of clinical decision support (CDS) to guide clinicians in how to use and interpret personalized data; however, it is not yet clear which strategies are best suited for this purpose. In this study, we used implementation science to identify common strategies for applying provider-based CDS interventions across six genomic medicine clinical research projects funded by an NIH consortium. Each project's strategies were elicited via a structured survey derived from a typology of implementation strategies, the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC), and follow-up interviews guided by both implementation strategy reporting criteria and a planning framework, RE-AIM, to obtain more detail about implementation strategies and desired outcomes. We found that, on average, the three pharmacogenomics implementation projects used more strategies than the disease-focused projects. Overall, projects had four implementation strategies in common; however, operationalization of each differed in accordance with each study's implementation outcomes. These four common strategies may be important for precision medicine program implementation, and pharmacogenomics may require more integration into clinical care. Understanding how and why these strategies were successfully employed could be useful for others implementing genomic or precision medicine programs in different contexts.

Abstract
The value of utilizing a multigene pharmacogenetic panel to tailor pharmacotherapy is contingent on the prevalence of prescribed medications with an actionable pharmacogenetic association. The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) has categorized over 35 gene-drug pairs as "level A," for which there is sufficiently strong evidence to recommend that genetic information be used to guide drug prescribing. The opportunity to use genetic information to tailor pharmacotherapy among adult patients was determined by elucidating the exposure to CPIC level A drugs among 11 Implementing Genomics In Practice Network (IGNITE)-affiliated health systems across the US. Inpatient and/or outpatient electronic-prescribing data were collected between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2016 for patients ≥ 18 years of age who had at least one medical encounter that was eligible for drug prescribing in a calendar year. A median of ~ 7.2 million adult patients was available for assessment of drug prescribing per year. From 2011 to 2016, the annual estimated prevalence of exposure to at least one CPIC level A drug prescribed to unique patients ranged between 15,719 (95% confidence interval (CI): 15,658-15,781) in 2011 to 17,335 (CI: 17,283-17,386) in 2016 per 100,000 patients. The estimated annual exposure to at least 2 drugs was above 7,200 per 100,000 patients in most years of the study, reaching an apex of 7,660 (CI: 7,632-7,687) per 100,000 patients in 2014. An estimated 4,748 per 100,000 prescribing events were potentially eligible for a genotype-guided intervention. Results from this study show that a significant portion of adults treated at medical institutions across the United States is exposed to medications for which genetic information, if available, should be used to guide prescribing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The emergency department (ED) is a challenging setting to conduct pharmacogenomic studies and integrate that data into fast-paced and potentially life-saving treatment decisions. Therefore, our objective is to present the methods and feasibility of a pilot pharmacogenomic study set in the ED that measured pediatric bronchodilator response (BDR) during acute asthma exacerbations. METHODS This is an exploratory pilot study that collected buccal swabs for DNA and measured BDR during ED encounters for pediatric asthma exacerbations. We evaluated the study's feasibility with a qualitative analysis of ED provider surveys and quantitatively by the proportion of eligible patients enrolled. RESULTS We enrolled 59 out of 90 patients (65%) that were identified and considered eligible during a 5-month period (target enrollment 60 patients over 12 months). The median patient age was 7 years (interquartile range 4-9 years), 61% (N = 36) were male, and 92% (N = 54) were African American. Quality DNA collection was successful for all 59 patients. The ED provider survey response rate was 100%. Most ED providers reported that the study did not impact their workflow (98% of physicians, 88% of nurses, and 90% of respiratory therapists). ED providers did report difficulties with spirometry in the younger age group. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacogenomic studies can be conducted in the ED setting, and enroll a younger patient population with a high proportion of minority participants. By disseminating this study's methods and feasibility analysis, we aim to increase interest in pharmacogenomic studies set in the ED and aimed toward future ED-based pharmacogenomic decision-making.

[PMID: 32536434 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2020.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Revised: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 04/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Assess the potential benefits of identifying drug-gene interactions in nursing home (NH) residents on multiple medications. Reduce the use of high-risk medications for residents with reduced drug metabolism. DESIGN Open-label, nonrandomized, mixed methods study. SETTING Four NHs in Ontario. MEASUREMENTS Potential drug therapy problems (DTPs) for study cohort were identified during a medication review by a pharmacist using pharmacogenetic (PGx) clinical decision support to identify medication change opportunities. The number of DTPs identified during a standard medication review was compared with the number of DTPs identified with a PGx clinical decision support. Analysis of medication dispensing data at enrollment compared with dispensing in a 60-day window following medication review were compared for the PGx-tested study cohort with controls. RESULTS Prescription patterns of 90 study participants were compared with 895 controls for the same time period. Study participants were on 7 to 47 drugs, of which drugs with PGx indications ranged from 1 to 17 medications. The average medication load was 4.6 medications with PGx indications per person, whereas the controls were on 3.5 PGx drugs. Furthermore, 94% of cases and 84% of controls were on 2 or more drugs with PGx indication during the study period. Pharmacogenetic analysis identified 114 distinct DTPs in the 90 study participants, of which 29 were classified as serious. In this study, over 35% of residents were treated with antidepressants; of these, 64% have altered CYP2C19 or CYP2D6 metabolism and could benefit from drug dose adjustment or from a switch to alternative antidepressants. Twenty percent of residents were treated with hydromorphone, of which 30% have reduced response to opioids because of variations in the OPRM1 gene. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS This study demonstrated the clinical potential of PGx-based medication optimization for NH residents, impacting the management of depression, chronic pain, heart disease, and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Abstract
Several healthcare organizations across Minnesota have developed formal pharmacogenomic (PGx) clinical programs to increase drug safety and effectiveness. Healthcare professional and student education is strong and there are multiple opportunities in the state for learners to gain workforce skills and develop advanced competency in PGx. Implementation planning is occurring at several organizations and others have incorporated structured utilization of PGx into routine workflows. Laboratory-based and translational PGx research in Minnesota has driven important discoveries in several therapeutic areas. This article reviews the state of PGx activities in Minnesota including educational programs, research, national consortia involvement, technology, clinical implementation and utilization and reimbursement, and outlines the challenges and opportunities in equitable implementation of these advances.

Abstract
The goals of the Association for Molecular Pathology Clinical Practice Committee's Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Working Group are to define the key attributes of pharmacogenetic alleles recommended for clinical testing, and to determine a minimal set of variants that should be included in clinical PGx genotyping assays. This document series provides recommendations on a minimal panel of variant alleles (Tier 1) and an extended panel of variant alleles (Tier 2) that will aid clinical laboratories in designing assays for PGx testing. When developing these recommendations, the Association for Molecular Pathology PGx Working Group considered the functional impact of the variant alleles, allele frequencies in multiethnic populations, the availability of reference materials, as well as other technical considerations with regard to PGx testing. The ultimate goal of this Working Group is to promote standardization of PGx gene/allele testing across clinical laboratories. This document is focused on clinical CYP2D6 PGx testing that may be applied to all cytochrome P450 2D6-metabolized medications. These recommendations are not meant to be interpreted as prescriptive but to provide a reference guide for clinical laboratories that may be either implementing PGx testing or reviewing and updating their existing platform.

Abstract
Aim: To perform a systematic review to determine the efficacy/safety of PGx-guided opioid therapy for chronic/postoperative pain. Materials & methods: We searched PubMed and other specialized databases. Articles were considered if they compared the efficacy/safety of PGx-guided opioid therapy versus usual care. The risk of bias assessment was performed using Cochrane tools. Results: A total of 3794 records were retrieved. Only five were included for data extraction. A lower requirement of analgesics during postoperative in the PGx-guided intervention arm was reported in two studies. Also, two studies reported significant pain improvement in favor of the PGx-guided therapy when analyzing the subgroup of patients with a high-risk CYP2D6 phenotype. Conclusion: Despite the findings described, information on the efficacy/safety of this intervention is scarce.

Abstract
Genomic‐guided pharmaceutical prescribing is increasingly recognized as an important clinical application of genetics. Accurate genotyping of pharmacogenomic (PGx) genes can be difficult, owing to their complex genetic architecture involving combinations of single‐nucleotide polymorphisms and structural variation. Here, we introduce the Helix PGx database, an open‐source star allele, genotype, and resulting metabolic phenotype frequency database for CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP4F2, based on short‐read sequencing of >86,000 unrelated individuals enrolled in the Helix DNA Discovery Project. The database is annotated using a pipeline that is clinically validated against a broad range of alleles and designed to call CYP2D6 structural variants with high (98%) accuracy. We find that CYP2D6 has greater allelic diversity than the other genes, manifest in both a long tail of low‐frequency star alleles, as well as a disproportionate fraction (36%) of all novel predicted loss‐of‐function variants identified. Across genes, we observe that many rare alleles (<0.1% frequency) in the overall cohort have 10 times higher frequency in one or more subgroups with non‐European genetic ancestry. Extending these PGx genotypes to predicted metabolic phenotypes, we demonstrate that >90% of the cohort harbors a high‐risk variant in one of the four pharmacogenes. Based on the recorded prescriptions for >30,000 individuals in the Healthy Nevada Project, combined with predicted PGx metabolic phenotypes, we anticipate that standard‐of‐care screening of these 4 pharmacogenes could impact nearly half of the general population.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetic (PGx) literature has shown beneficial outcomes in safety, efficacy and cost when evidence-based gene-drug decision making is incorporated into clinical practice. PGx programs with successfully implemented clinical services have been published in a variety of settings including academic health centers and community practice. The primary objective was to systematically scope the literature to characterize the current trends, extent, range and nature of clinical PGx programs. Forty articles representing 19 clinical PGx programs were included in analysis. Most programs are in urban, academic institutions. Education, governance and workflow were commonly described while billing/reimbursement and consent were not. This review provides an overview of current PGx models that can be used as a reference for institutions beginning the implementation process.

Abstract
PURPOSE A critical gap in the adoption of genomic medicine into medical practice is the need for the rigorous evaluation of the utility of genomic medicine interventions. METHODS The Implementing Genomics in Practice Pragmatic Trials Network (IGNITE PTN) was formed in 2018 to measure the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of genomic medicine interventions, to assess approaches for real-world application of genomic medicine in diverse clinical settings, and to produce generalizable knowledge on clinical trials using genomic interventions. Five clinical sites and a coordinating center evaluated trial proposals and developed working groups to enable their implementation. RESULTS Two pragmatic clinical trials (PCTs) have been initiated, one evaluating genetic risk APOL1 variants in African Americans in the management of their hypertension, and the other to evaluate the use of pharmacogenetic testing for medications to manage acute and chronic pain as well as depression. CONCLUSION IGNITE PTN is a network that carries out PCTs in genomic medicine; it is focused on diversity and inclusion of underrepresented minority trial participants; it uses electronic health records and clinical decision support to deliver the interventions. IGNITE PTN will develop the evidence to support (or oppose) the adoption of genomic medicine interventions by patients, providers, and payers.

Abstract
The poor predictability of human liver toxicity is still causing high attrition rates of drug candidates in the pharmaceutical industry at the non-clinical, clinical, and post-marketing authorization stages. This is in part caused by animal models that fail to predict various human adverse drug reactions (ADRs), resulting in undetected hepatotoxicity at the non-clinical phase of drug development. In an effort to increase the prediction of human hepatotoxicity, different approaches to enhance the physiological relevance of hepatic in vitro systems are being pursued. Three-dimensional (3D) or microfluidic technologies allow to better recapitulate hepatocyte organization and cell-matrix contacts, to include additional cell types, to incorporate fluid flow and to create gradients of oxygen and nutrients, which have led to improved differentiated cell phenotype and functionality. This comprehensive review addresses the drug-induced hepatotoxicity mechanisms and the currently available 3D liver in vitro models, their characteristics, as well as their advantages and limitations for human hepatotoxicity assessment. In addition, since toxic responses are greatly dependent on the culture model, a comparative analysis of the toxicity studies performed using two-dimensional (2D) and 3D in vitro strategies with recognized hepatotoxic compounds, such as paracetamol, diclofenac, and troglitazone is performed, further highlighting the need for harmonization of the respective characterization methods. Finally, taking a step forward, we propose a roadmap for the assessment of drugs hepatotoxicity based on fully characterized fit-for-purpose in vitro models, taking advantage of the best of each model, which will ultimately contribute to more informed decision-making in the drug development and risk assessment fields.

Clin Transl Sci 2021; 14:153-162. [PMID: 33085221 PMCID: PMC7877860 DOI: 10.1111/cts.12919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Many academic institutions are collecting blood samples from patients seeking treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to build research biorepositories. It may be feasible to extract pharmacogenomic (PGx) information from biorepositories for clinical use. We sought to characterize the potential value of multigene PGx testing among individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of electronic health records from consecutive individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 at a large, urban academic health system. We characterized medication orders, focusing on medications with actionable PGx guidance related to 14 commonly assayed genes (CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP3A5, DPYD, G6PD, HLA-A, HLA-B, IFNL3, NUDT15, SLCO1B1, TPMT, UGT1A1, and VKORC1). A simulation analysis combined medication data with population phenotype frequencies to estimate how many treatment modifications would be enabled if multigene PGx results were available. Sixty-four unique medications with PGx guidance were ordered at least once in the cohort (n = 1,852, mean age 60.1 years). Nearly nine in 10 individuals (89.7%) had at least one order for a medication with PGx guidance and 427 patients (23.1%) had orders for 4 or more actionable medications. Using a simulation, we estimated that 17 treatment modifications per 100 patients would be enabled if PGx results were available. The genes CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 were responsible for the majority of treatment modifications, and the medications most often affected were ondansetron, oxycodone, and clopidogrel. PGx results would be relevant for nearly all individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 and would provide the opportunity to improve clinical care.

Prescribing Prevalence of Medications With Potential Genotype-Guided Dosing in Pediatric Patients. JAMA Netw Open 2020; 3:e2029411. [PMID: 33315113 PMCID: PMC7737091 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2020.29411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Importance Genotype-guided prescribing in pediatrics could prevent adverse drug reactions and improve therapeutic response. Clinical pharmacogenetic implementation guidelines are available for many medications commonly prescribed to children. Frequencies of medication prescription and actionable genotypes (genotypes where a prescribing change may be indicated) inform the potential value of pharmacogenetic implementation. Objective To assess potential opportunities for genotype-guided prescribing in pediatric populations among multiple health systems by examining the prevalence of prescriptions for each drug with the highest level of evidence (Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium level A) and estimating the prevalence of potential actionable prescribing decisions. Design, Setting, and Participants This serial cross-sectional study of prescribing prevalences in 16 health systems included electronic health records data from pediatric inpatient and outpatient encounters from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2017. The health systems included academic medical centers with free-standing children's hospitals and community hospitals that were part of an adult health care system. Participants included approximately 2.9 million patients younger than 21 years observed per year. Data were analyzed from June 5, 2018, to April 14, 2020. Exposures Prescription of 38 level A medications based on electronic health records. Main Outcomes and Measures Annual prevalence of level A medication prescribing and estimated actionable exposures, calculated by combining estimated site-year prevalences across sites with each site weighted equally. Results Data from approximately 2.9 million pediatric patients (median age, 8 [interquartile range, 2-16] years; 50.7% female, 62.3% White) were analyzed for a typical calendar year. The annual prescribing prevalence of at least 1 level A drug ranged from 7987 to 10 629 per 100 000 patients with increasing trends from 2011 to 2014. The most prescribed level A drug was the antiemetic ondansetron (annual prevalence of exposure, 8107 [95% CI, 8077-8137] per 100 000 children). Among commonly prescribed opioids, annual prevalence per 100 000 patients was 295 (95% CI, 273-317) for tramadol, 571 (95% CI, 557-586) for codeine, and 2116 (95% CI, 2097-2135) for oxycodone. The antidepressants citalopram, escitalopram, and amitriptyline were also commonly prescribed (annual prevalence, approximately 250 per 100 000 patients for each). Estimated prevalences of actionable exposures were highest for oxycodone and ondansetron (>300 per 100 000 patients annually). CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 substrates were more frequently prescribed than medications influenced by other genes. Conclusions and Relevance These findings suggest that opportunities for pharmacogenetic implementation among pediatric patients in the US are abundant. As expected, the greatest opportunity exists with implementing CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 pharmacogenetic guidance for commonly prescribed antiemetics, analgesics, and antidepressants.

Abstract
Starting with the launch of the Human Genome Project three decades ago, and continuing after its completion in 2003, genomics has progressively come to have a central and catalytic role in basic and translational research. In addition, studies increasingly demonstrate how genomic information can be effectively used in clinical care. In the future, the anticipated advances in technology development, biological insights, and clinical applications (among others) will lead to more widespread integration of genomics into almost all areas of biomedical research, the adoption of genomics into mainstream medical and public-health practices, and an increasing relevance of genomics for everyday life. On behalf of the research community, the National Human Genome Research Institute recently completed a multi-year process of strategic engagement to identify future research priorities and opportunities in human genomics, with an emphasis on health applications. Here we describe the highest-priority elements envisioned for the cutting-edge of human genomics going forward-that is, at 'The Forefront of Genomics'.

Abstract
CYP2D6 metabolizes 20-25% of all clinically used drugs and its complex genetic polymorphism is a major determinant of drug safety and efficacy. We investigated the basis for the functional difference between the two common alleles *2 (g.2851C>T + g.4181G>C, normal function) and *41 (additional intronic g.2989G>A, reduced function). A recently reported far-distant enhancer polymorphism rs5758550A/G linked to *2 has been suggested to play a decisive role. Genotyping of two white cohorts confirmed strong linkage of rs5758550G to *2, whereas no influence was found on metabolic ratio of sparteine or hepatic expression. Genomic plasmid constructs carrying individual variants or combinations thereof were expressed in COS1 and Huh7 cells. Both g.2851C>T(R296C) and g.2989G>A reduced enzyme activity and protein levels similarly by ~ 50-65% compared to reference (*1), whereas the double variant had only ~ 20% activity. Although the unexpected loss of function caused by g.2851C>T was compensated by g.4181G>C (mimicking the EM-phenotype of *2), the additional loss of function due to intronic g.2989G>A in the triple variant was not compensated (mimicking the IM-phenotype of *41). We also confirmed increased erroneous splicing in carriers of g.2989G>A but not of g.2851C>T as a likely explanation for the impaired function of *41. In conclusion, our data demonstrate g.2989G>A as causal variant of impaired allele CYP2D6*41 whereas triple-haplotypes have to be considered to explain the functional difference between *2 and *41. These data are important for genotyping strategies and clinical implementation of CYP2D6 pharmacogenetics.

Abstract
Aims: Identify the attitudes and interests of primary care providers (PCPs) in applying clinical pharmacogenomics (PGx) test results. Materials & methods: A questionnaire was designed and then disseminated to PCPs across the MedStar Health System. Results: Ninety of 312 (29%) PCPs responded and were included in analyses. Seventy-six (84%) had heard of PGx and 12 (13%) previously ordered PGx testing. Most, 68 (76%), believed PGx can improve care; however, a minority, 23 (26%), reported confidence in using PGx in prescribing decisions. Sixty-four (70%) wanted a pharmacist consultation. PCPs desired PGx for antidepressants (75%), proton pump inhibitors (72%) and other medications. Conclusion: Most PCPs felt unprepared to interpret PGx results and desired pharmacist consultations. These data can inform future PGx implementations with PCPs.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics, the genetic influence on the interpersonal variability in drug response, has enabled tailored pharmacotherapy and emerging 'personalized medicine.' Although oncology spearheaded the clinical implementation of personalized medicine, other specialties are rapidly catching up. In anesthesia, classical examples of genetically mediated idiosyncratic reactions have been long known (e.g., malignant hyperthermia and prolonged apnea after succinylcholine). The last two decades have witnessed an expanding body of pharmacogenetic evidence in anesthesia. This review highlights some of the prominent pharmacogenetic associations studied in anesthesia and pain management, with special focus on pediatric anesthesia.

Abstract
Pharmacogenomics is an evolving tool of precision medicine. Recently, due to the introduction of next-generation sequencing and projects generating "Big Data", a plethora of new genetic variants in pharmacogenes have been discovered. Cancer resistance is a major complication often preventing successful anticancer treatments. Pharmacogenomics of both somatic mutations in tumor cells and germline variants may help optimize targeted treatments and improve the response to conventional oncological therapy. In addition, integrative approaches combining copy number variations and long noncoding RNA profiling with germline and somatic variations seem to be a promising approach as well. In pharmacology, expression and enzyme activity are traditionally the more studied aspects of ATP-binding cassette transporters and cytochromes P450. In this review, we briefly introduce the field of pharmacogenomics and the advancements driven by next-generation sequencing and outline the possible roles of genetic variation in the two large pharmacogene superfamilies. Although the evidence needs further substantiation, somatic and copy number variants as well as rare variants and common polymorphisms in these genes could all affect response to cancer therapy. Regulation by long noncoding RNAs has also been shown to play a role. However, in all these areas, more comprehensive studies on larger sets of patients are needed.

Abstract
Clinical research in high-income countries is increasingly demonstrating the cost- effectiveness of clinical pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing in reducing the incidence of adverse drug reactions and improving overall patient care. Medications are prescribed based on an individual’s genotype (pharmacogenes), which underlies a specific phenotypic drug response. The advent of cost-effective high-throughput genotyping techniques coupled with the existence of Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) dosing guidelines for pharmacogenetic “actionable variants” have increased the clinical applicability of PGx testing. The implementation of clinical PGx testing in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries can significantly improve health care delivery, considering the high incidence of communicable diseases, the increasing incidence of non-communicable diseases, and the high degree of genetic diversity in these populations. However, the implementation of PGx testing has been sluggish in SSA, prompting this review, the aim of which is to document the existing barriers. These include under-resourced clinical care logistics, a paucity of pharmacogenetics clinical trials, scientific and technical barriers to genotyping pharmacogene variants, and socio-cultural as well as ethical issues regarding health-care stakeholders, among other barriers. Investing in large-scale SSA PGx research and governance, establishing biobanks/bio-databases coupled with clinical electronic health systems, and encouraging the uptake of PGx knowledge by health-care stakeholders, will ensure the successful implementation of pharmacogenetically guided treatment in SSA.

Abstract
Most literature describing pharmacogenetic implementations are within academic medical centers and use single-gene tests. Our objective was to describe the results and lessons learned from a multisite pharmacogenetic pilot that utilized panel-based testing in academic and nonacademic settings. This was a retrospective analysis of 667 patients from a pilot in 4 perioperative and 5 outpatient cardiology clinics. Recommendations related to 12 genes and 65 drugs were classified as actionable or not actionable. They were ascertained from Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) guidelines and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeling. Patients displayed a high prevalence of actionable results (88%, 99%) and use of medications (28%, 46%) with FDA or CPIC recommendations, respectively. Sixteen percent of patients had an actionable result for a current medication per CPIC compared with 5% per FDA labeling. A systematic approach by a health system may be beneficial given the quantity and diversity of patients affected.

Effects of paroxetine, ketoconazole, and rifampin on the metabolism of eliglustat, an oral substrate reduction therapy for Gaucher disease type 1. Mol Genet Metab Rep 2020; 22:100552. [PMID: 31993325 PMCID: PMC6976987 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgmr.2019.100552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2019] [Accepted: 12/17/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Eliglustat is an oral glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor indicated for the long-term treatment of adults with Gaucher disease type 1 and CYP2D6 extensive, intermediate, or poor metabolizer phenotypes. Eliglustat is metabolized primarily by CYP2D6 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4 and is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Three studies evaluated the effects of paroxetine (strong CYP2D6 inhibitor), ketoconazole (strong CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitor), and rifampin (strong CYP3A4/P-gp inducer; OATP inhibitor) on the pharmacokinetics of orally administered eliglustat in healthy adults. An 8.9-fold increase in eliglustat exposure following co-administration of multiple-dose eliglustat and paroxetine is attributed to inhibition of CYP2D6-mediated metabolism of eliglustat by paroxetine. A 4.3-fold increase in eliglustat exposure following co-administration of multiple-dose eliglustat and ketoconazole is attributed to inhibition of CYP3A4-mediated metabolism and/or P-gp-mediated transport of eliglustat by ketoconazole. Co-administration of eliglustat with oral doses of rifampin reduced eliglustat exposure by >85% due to induction of CYP3A4/P-gp by rifampin, while a single intravenous dose of rifampin had no effect on eliglustat, confirming that eliglustat is not an OATP substrate. Depending on CYP2D6 metabolizer phenotype, co-administration of eliglustat with CYP2D6 and/or CYP3A inhibitors or CYP3A inducers may alter eliglustat exposure, warrant dosage adjustment or use with caution, or be contraindicated. Co-administration of multiple-dose eliglustat and paroxetine (CYP2D6 inhibitor) increased eliglustat exposure. Co-administration of multiple-dose eliglustat and ketoconazole (inhibitor of CYP3A and P-gp) increased eliglustat exposure. Co-administration of eliglustat with oral rifampin (inducer of CYP3A and intestinal P-gp) reduced eliglustat exposure. A single intravenous dose of rifampin had no effect on eliglustat exposure. Eliglustat label contains dose adjustments/contraindications for co-administration with CYP2D6/3A inhibitors or inducers.

Clin Pharmacol Ther 2020; 108:116-125. [PMID: 31910286 DOI: 10.1002/cpt.1768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2019] [Accepted: 12/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists 22 medications as clinical inhibitors of cytochrome P450 2D6 isoenzyme, with classifications of strong, moderate, and weak. It is accepted that strong inhibitors result in nearly null enzymatic activity, but reduction caused by moderate and weak inhibitors is less well characterized. The objective was to identify if the classification of currently listed FDA moderate and weak inhibitors is supported by publicly available primary literature. We conducted a literature search and reviewed product labels for area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) fold-changes caused by inhibitors in humans and identified 89 inhibitor-substrate pairs. Observed AUC fold-change of the substrate was used to create an observed inhibitor classification per FDA-defined AUC fold-change thresholds. We then compared the observed inhibitor classification with the classification listed in the FDA Table of Inhibitors. We found 62% of the inhibitors within the pairs matched the listed FDA classification. We explored reasons for discordance and suggest modifications to the FDA table of clinical inhibitors for cimetidine, desvenlafaxine, and fluvoxamine.

Clinical Utility of Pharmacogene Panel-Based Testing in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Clin Transl Sci 2020; 13:473-481. [PMID: 31758664 PMCID: PMC7214641 DOI: 10.1111/cts.12729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2019] [Accepted: 11/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to estimate the utility of panel‐based pharmacogenetic testing of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Utilization of Clinical Pharmacogenetic Implementation Consortium (CPIC) level A/B drugs after PCI was estimated in a national sample of IBM MarketScan beneficiaries. Genotype data from University of Florida (UF) patients (n = 211) who underwent PCI were used to project genotype‐guided opportunities among MarketScan beneficiaries with at least one (N = 105,547) and five (N = 12,462) years of follow‐up data. The actual incidence of genotype‐guided prescribing opportunities was determined among UF patients. In MarketScan, 50.0% (52,799/105,547) over 1 year and 68.0% (8,473/12,462) over 5 years had ≥ 1 CPIC A/B drug besides antiplatelet therapy prescribed, with a projected incidence of genotype‐guided prescribing opportunities of 39% at 1 year and 52% at 5 years. Genotype‐guided prescribing opportunities occurred in 32% of UF patients. Projected and actual incidence of genotype‐guided opportunities among two cohorts supports the utility of panel‐based testing among patients who underwent PCI.

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics is a key component of precision medicine. Genetic variation in drug metabolism enzymes can lead to variable exposure to drugs and metabolites, potentially leading to inefficacy and drug toxicity. Although the evidence for pharmacogenetic associations in children is not as extensive as for adults, there are several drugs across diverse therapeutic areas with robust pediatric data indicating important, and relatively common, drug-gene interactions. Guidelines to assist gene-based dose optimization are available for codeine, thiopurine drugs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, atomoxetine, tacrolimus, and voriconazole. For each of these drugs, there is an opportunity to clinically implement precision medicine approaches with children for whom genetic test results are known or are obtained at the time of prescribing. For many more drugs that are commonly used in pediatric patients, additional investigation is needed to determine the genetic factors influencing appropriate dose.
