PHARMACOGENOMICS VS. PHARMACOGENETICS

Pharmacogenomics

  • broader based term
  • encompasses all genes in the genome that may determine drug response

Pharmacogenetics

  • more narrow term
  • generally used in relation to genes determining drug metabolism

Can and are used interchangeably

PHENOCONVERSION

  • Phenoconversion is a phenomenon that converts the

genotype of an individual into a different phenotype, thereby modifying their clinical response to that of genotype

  • Drugs and other disease states can contribute to this

phenomenon

23

PHARMACOGENOMICS (PGX)

  • Drugs currently are available and prescribed in a “one size

fits all” fashion

  • ADR related hospitalizations and doctor’s visits average

$136 billion annually

  • 2.2 million serious ADRs
  • 100,000+ death

ADRs are the 4th leading causes of hospitalization and death in the US

BENEFITS TO PATIENTS

  • Eliminates trial and error prescribing,

resulting in cost and health benefits

  • Potentially decreasing ADRs and side-

effect profiles

  • Confidence and peace of mind for the

patient in their regimen 25

BENEFITS TO MEDICAL PROVIDERS AND PHARMACISTS

  • Provides baseline or guidance for drug initiation based on

genetic implications

  • Strengthens Relationship
  • Saves physician time
  • Eliminates trial and error prescribing and dispensing
  • Promotes patient adherence
  • Provides an additional innovative service for the medical

clinic for precision medicine

single panel or broad panel? 28

slide-13
SLIDE 13

10/21/19 13

DIFFERENT APPROACHES

  • Pre-emptive
  • Patient DNA tested for a broad panel of markers early on before

medications are needed

  • Cost Savings in doing test as a batch
  • Avoid major delay when a need arises
  • Semi Pre-emptive
  • Selecting high “at-risk” patient population
  • Reactive
  • Initiating testing when a patient has an indication to receiving medication

that have genetic implications

  • When a patient has failed therapy or multiple therapies

29

Workflow

  • Trigger
  • Verification of prescription
  • Medications with implications
  • Patient complaint
  • Discontinuation of medication
  • Patient education
  • Provider order
  • Appointment-based model
  • Close loop with provider

DRUG METABOLIZER STATUS TYPES

Poor Metabolizers (PM)

  • Two non-functional alleles
  • Little to no enzyme activity

Intermediate Metabolizers (IM)

  • One non-functional allele and one normally functioning allele
  • Decreased enzyme activity

Extensive (Normal) Metabolizers (EM)

  • 2 normally functioning alleles
  • Normal enzyme activity

Ultra-rapid Metabolizers (UM)

  • One or more alleles
  • Increased enzyme activity compared to extensive metabolizers

PRODRUG vs. ACTIVE DRUG

Prodrug

MUST BE activated by metabolism to have its intended effect

  • Example: codeine is activated by CYP2D6

metabolism in the liver into morphine (active form) Poor Metabolizer

  • Poor Efficacy
  • Possible accumulation of prodrug form

Rapid Metabolizer

  • Good Efficacy
  • Rapid effect

Active Drug

No metabolism needed to have its intended effect Metabolism of an active drug renders it inactive

  • Example: omeprazole

Poor Metabolizer

  • Good efficacy
  • Accumulation may produce adverse effect
  • Lower dose may be necessary

Rapid Metabolizer

  • Poor efficacy
  • Higher dose or slow release formulation may be

necessary

  • Trusting the information
  • Weighing the risk vs. benefits by using genetically-based

dosing

  • Evidence based guidelines
  • CPIC, PRO, DPWG
  • Time constraints
  • Free the provider for activities more worth their time
  • Practicing at the top of their license
  • Technology challenge & solutions
  • Prior Authorization for third party billing

PERFORMING A PHARMACOGENETIC REVIEW

  • Majority of tests use some type of “stop

light” categorization

  • Avoid misconceptions – patients may

apply their own interpretation

  • “Stop Light” reporting is not as

straightforward as it seems

  • Cannot base precision medication

selection and dosing on this means alone

GENES AFFECTING WARFARIN INVOLVED IN PK AND PD

  • CYP2C9
  • Metabolism leads to oxidation of warfarin

and clearance

  • Strongly linked to race
  • Variations (alleles) cause clearance

reduction

  • VKORC1
  • Target protein of warfarin that activates

clotting factors

  • Variations (alleles) affect the amount of

VKORC1 you have for warfarin to bind

  • Less VKORC1 = Less warfarin needed
  • BOTH genes must be considered
