Pharmacogenomic Biomarkers & pharmacogenetic test to prevent adverse drug reaction

Table of Pharmacogenomic Biomarkers in Drug Labeling

Pharmacogenomics can play an important role in identifying responders and non-responders to medications, avoiding adverse events, and optimizing drug dose. Drug labeling may contain information on genomic biomarkers and can describe:

    • Drug exposure and clinical response variability
    • Risk for adverse events
    • Genotype-specific dosing
    • Mechanisms of drug action
    • Polymorphic drug target and disposition genes

The table below lists FDA-approved drugs with pharmacogenomic information in their labeling. The labeling for some, but not all, of the products includes specific actions to be taken based on the biomarker information. Biomarkers in the table include are not limited to germline or somatic gene variants, functional deficiencies, expression changes, and chromosomal abnormalities.

This table does not include non-human genetic biomarkers (e.g., viral or bacterial) i.e., microbial variants that influence sensitivity to anti-invectives; biomarkers that are used solely for diagnostic purposes unless they are linked to drug activity or used to identify a specific subset in whom prescribing information differs (e.g., for genetic diseases). Therapeutic areas do not necessarily reflect the FDA review division.

Pharmacogenomic information can appear in different sections of the labeling. Relevant sections of the labeling with such information are noted in the last column of the table. For more information on the relevance of information in various parts of drug labeling (e.g. Indications and Usage, Dosage and Administration, Boxed Warning, etc.), please refer to the appropriate labeling guidance. For information on the FDA’s initiative to improve prescription drug labeling, visit the FDA/CDER Learn website.

Genomic technologies and Optimum Heart Care

The state of genomic knowledge of CVDs and stroke has expanded dramatically in recent years. Since our scientific statement was published in 2007, there has been rapid evolution of the genomic technologies, enabling a proliferation of GWASs investigating common, complex diseases, including CVDs and stroke. Because the number of associations that are tested within the GWAS platforms is large and most associations are weak, the process of conducting these studies has also evolved dramatically during this same period. Researchers from around the world have come together as collaborators both to replicate (to reduce the potential for type I errors) and to meta-analyze data (to have statistical power to identify weak effects).

We are on the precipice of further expansion to sequencing the whole genome of patients and large population cohorts to detect additional and rare variants predisposing to disease. Therefore, the next 5-year period will be consumed with mining the wealth of data that will be generated by this next phase of research. Additionally, progress in other “omics” fields will inform these sequence data to help in understanding function. Finally, the environment will be given more attention as we identify solutions to disease prevention and treatment.

We anticipate that in the near future we will determine genetically based disease susceptibility within individuals, families, and populations. We conclude this statement with recommendations intended to guide clinical and public health practice, to foster research, and to prepare both researchers and healthcare practitioners for the changes likely to occur as genetics are translated to the population and the clinical setting.

Currently Relevant Recommendations to Enable Future Discoveries and Optimization of Care

  • Continue to develop and implement research that accelerates the translation of genomic discoveries to the prevention and treatment of CVDs and stroke. We suggest including the following:

  • —Incentives for researchers to collect DNA and consent to use specimens and data in future studies

  • —Expansion of biorepositories linked to electronic health records

  • —Translational genomic research of all types, bidirectionally, from bench to population

  • —Support of multidisciplinary, collaborative research programs

  • —Support of expanded genetic counseling training opportunities

  • Continue these research agendas to follow up and use genetic discoveries:

  • —Characterize genes and genetic variants that are associated with CVD across individuals and populations from multiple ethnic groups both at population levels and in functional mechanistic studies

  • —Determine how environmental factors (including behaviors and drugs) interact with genetic variants to influence CVD

  • —Expand pharmacogenetic research to identify genetic variants that predict adverse drug reactions and better efficacy

  • —Develop new technologies in CVD characterization, risk assessment, and outcome prediction and test these technologies in randomized, controlled trials

  • Conduct implementation research to understand the clinical utility of genetic screening because this has not yet been systematically tested in the majority of cases. Prepare proactively for effective genetic screening programs:

  • —Establish prevalence and family history criteria that would trigger screening programs in at-risk populations

  • —Create standards and laboratory oversight mechanisms for genetic testing facilities

  • —Match appropriate treatment guidelines to particular genetic susceptibility findings

  • —Assess the potential cost-effectiveness of genetic screening programs

  • Educate our workforce:

  • —Train clinicians to understand genetic screening tests for complex CVDs and stroke and when to refer to a genetics clinic or engage a genetic counselor

  • —Include genetics in graduate educational curricula

  • —Educate researchers in genetics, computational biology, and statistical genetics

2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults

  1. Focus on ASCVD Risk Reduction: 4 Statin Benefit Groups

    1. This guideline is based on a comprehensive set of data from RCTs from which 4 statin benefit groups were identified that focus efforts to reduce ASCVD events in secondary and primary prevention.

    2. This guideline identifies high-intensity and moderate-intensity statin therapy for use in secondary and primary prevention.

  2. A New Perspective on LDL-C and/or Non–HDL-C Treatment Goals

    1. The Expert Panel was unable to find RCT evidence to support continued use of specific LDL-C or non–HDL-C treatment targets.

    2. The appropriate intensity of statin therapy should be used to reduce ASCVD risk in those most likely to benefit.

    3. Nonstatin therapies, as compared with statin therapy, do not provide acceptable ASCVD risk-reduction benefits relative to their potential for adverse effects in the routine prevention of ASCVD.

  3. Global Risk Assessment for Primary Prevention

    1. This guideline recommends use of the new Pooled Cohort Equations to estimate 10-year ASCVD risk in both white and black men and women.

    2. By more accurately identifying higher-risk individuals for statin therapy, the guideline focuses statin therapy on those most likely to benefit.

    3. It also indicates, on the basis of RCT data, those high-risk groups that might not benefit.

    4. This guideline recommends a discussion between clinicians and patients before initiation of statin therapy.

  4. Safety Recommendations

    1. This guideline used RCTs to identify important safety considerations in individuals receiving treatment of blood cholesterol to reduce ASCVD risk.

    2. Using RCTs to determine statin adverse effects facilitates understanding of the net benefit from statin therapy.

    3. This guideline provides expert guidance on management of statin-associated adverse effects, including muscle symptoms.

  5. Role of Biomarkers and Noninvasive Tests

    1. Treatment decisions in selected individuals who are not included in the 4 statin benefit groups may be informed by other factors as recommended by the Risk Assessment Work Group and Blood Cholesterol Expert Panel.

  6. Future Updates to the Blood Cholesterol Guideline

    1. This is a comprehensive guideline for the evidence-based treatment of blood cholesterol to reduce ASCVD risk.

    2. Future updates will build on this foundation to provide expert guidance on the management of complex lipid disorders and incorporate refinements in risk stratification based on critical review of emerging data.

    3. RCTs comparing alternative treatment strategies are needed in order to inform future evidence-based guidelines for the optimum ASCVD risk-reduction approach.

The Use of Genetics in Guiding Therapy from Mayo Clinic

http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/articles/hottopics/2012/06-pharm/index.html

In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration has introduced pharmacogenetic-related drug label warnings and precautions, including black box warnings, on some widely prescribed drugs in an effort to reduce adverse effects. Advances in the study of pharmacogenomics have resulted in development of tests to identify patients who would benefit from different treatment levels or the use of different drugs. Dr. Baudhuin provides an update of pharmacogenetics with a focus on drugs with FDA label warnings and precautions, the related pharmacogenetic tests available, and their use in the clinical setting.

New Molecule Protects Heart from Toxic Breast Cancer Drugs

Enzyme phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma

A new molecule has been found that protects the heart from toxic breast cancer drugs and also kills the cancerous tumour. The research from Italy addresses the burgeoning problem of heart disease in cancer survivors and is announced by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Dr Alessandra Ghigo, first author and research fellow in the Department of Molecular Biotechnology and Health Sciences, University of Torino, Italy, said: “Cardiotoxicity of cancer drugs has become an increasing problem in the last decade due to the increasing success of anticancer therapy and aggressive use of these drugs. More people are now surviving cancer but it is estimated that 32% of them could die of heart disease caused by their treatment. This has led to a new field of medicine called cardio-oncology.”
Professor Patrizio Lancellotti, chair of the ESC EACVI/HFA Cardiac Oncology Toxicity Registry, said: “Patients with some forms of breast cancer are at greater risk of dying from heart disease than from cancer. A number of breast cancer treatments are toxic for the heart notably chemotherapy with anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin, or with trastuzumab (Herceptin). Radiation therapy can make anthracyclines even more cardiotoxic, as can the sequence of anthracylines followed by trastuzumab. The latter combination for metastatic breast cancer can cause severe heart failure in up to 27% of patients.”
The theme of World Cancer Day 2015 is ‘Not beyond us’. New research from Dr Ghigo presented for the first time at the Heart Failure Winter Research Meeting shows that solutions to cardiotoxicity of cancer drugs are within reach.

Inhibit activity of PI3Kɣ Enzyme

Dr. Ghigo’s research focuses on the enzyme phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma (PI3Kɣ) which regulates heart function. She previously showed that inhibiting the activity of PI3Kɣ protected mice with hypertension from developing heart failure.
For the current study she used genetically modified mice expressing an inactive form of PI3Kɣ to mimic the use of an enzyme inhibitor. When the mice were treated with the anthracycline doxorubicin, they survived more than normal mice and their heart function was completely preserved. Normal mice, who had the active form of PI3Kɣ, developed severe heart failure within 2 months of beginning treatment with doxorubicin.

 Prevent heart failure after doxorubicin treatment

To see if the findings could be applied to humans the next step was to treat normal nice with doxorubicin plus a drug to inhibit the activity of PI3Kɣ. Dr Ghigo said: “The inhibitor was able to completely protect the mice from developing heart failure after doxorubicin treatment.”
The same experiment was then performed on mice with breast cancer to ensure that the PI3Kɣ inhibitor did not interfere with the anticancer activity of doxorubicin. Again the mice were treated with both doxorubicin and the PI3Kɣ inhibitor.
Dr. Ghigo said: “The PI3Kɣ inhibitor protected the mice from developing heart failure. Importantly, the inhibitor was able to synergise with the doxorubicin and help to delay tumour growth. This means we could use an inhibitor of PI3Kɣ to both protect the heart from doxorubicin and prevent tumour growth. Our research shows that inhibiting PI3Kɣ stops inflammation in the tumour and kills the tumour.”

Cardiotoxicity

She added: “One of the main problems with the cardiotoxicity induced by chemotherapy is that the anticancer regimens need to be modified. We may have to use lower doses of agents to prevent the cardiotoxicity or stop the treatment. By using this inhibitor of PI3Kɣ together with the chemotherapy we could allow a wider and safer use of anticancer therapies because we don’t need to lower the dose or change the treatment.”

Prevent heart failure caused by cancer

She concluded: “The mechanisms underlying heart failure induced by anticancer therapies are different to those underlying heart failure from other causes such as hypertension. For this reason there are no effective drugs on the market to prevent this new kind of heart failure. Our study shows that PI3Kɣ could be a novel way to prevent heart failure caused by cancer drugs while also helping to kill the tumour itself.”

Pharmacogenetic testing (PGT) detects single nucleotide polymorphism of nine cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver: CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, Factor II, Factor V, MTHFR, VKROC1.

By identifying the genotypes of these enzymes we can predict an individual’s ability to metabolize about 95% of all medications. The phenotypes are assigned based on the patients’ metabolizing ability as poor, intermediate, intermediate-extensive, extensive, and ultra-rapid metabolizers. Armed with the genetic information, physicians can provide personalized care by delivering the right medication at the right dosage to the right patient. In addition, PGT can help reduce adverse drug reactions, avoid drug interactions, prevent overdose and death, and save precious time and medical costs. Our lab’s PGT utilizes the state of the art Luminex 200 platform, FDA approved xTAG technologies, as well as laboratory-developed methods. The test is a simple non-invasive, buccal cell-based cheek swab. The PGT has a short turn-around time and easy to read lab reports.

Seniors, cancer, regimen of medications, sensitive,wants less drug reactions

Individuals who may benefit from PGT include patients with abnormally high or low metabolite to substrate ratios in urine drug screening, patients with multiple organ system issues or on multiple medications, patients who suffer from debilitating adverse drug reactions, and patients who have gone through sequential ineffective drug trials. PGT is proven a useful tool in chronic pain management where the use of narcotics and other medication is likely.

Hospitalization,death and other adverse drug reactions

According to the FDA, adverse drug reactions cause over 2 million hospitalizations per year and 106,000 annual deaths, while contributing $136 billion dollars to annual health care costs in our country. These are terrible statistics but the worst part is they are largely avoidable. The best part is that the technology is now available to every physician to ensure patient safety and the best possible treatment plan.
