FDA Pharmacogenetic LabelsA Clinical Perspective David A Flockhart MD, PhD Indiana University School of Medicine Clinical Pharmacology Subcommittee of the Advisory Committee for Pharmaceutical Science FDA, CDER November 14th, 2005
The Purpose of Pharmacogenomics • To predict response and thereby improve prescribing and the public health • To elucidate drugs’ mechanism of action • To identify targets • choke points • genes • receptors/enzymes/transporters
FDA labeling Progress • TPMT labelling • Irinotecan labelling • Cytochrome P450 Amplichip™ approval • UGT1A1 test approval for irinotecan

Irinotecan DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION - Dosage in Patients with Reduced UGT1A1 Activity When administered in combination with other agents, or as a single-agent, a reduction in the starting dose by at least one level of CAMPTOSAR should be considered for patients known to be homozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY and WARNINGS). However, the precise dose reduction in this patient population is not known and subsequent dose modifications should be considered based on individual patient tolerance to treatment (see tables 10-13). <July 2005, Camptosar labeling; http://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/2005/020571s024,027,028lbl.pdf>
Barriers to Effective Pharmacogenetic Labels • Time in Clinical Settings is Limited • Information Overload is the Norm • Very few prescribers read labels • Lawyers do Simplicity, Accuracy of Presentation Not Negotiable A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

The Future of Pharmacogenetic Testing: Multiple Variants Contribute to one Phenotypic Response
A Clinical Perspective on Drug Labels Dosage & Administration Indications and Usage Adverse Reactions and Contraindications Clinical Pharmacology Section Clinical Studies Section
Dosage and Administration Section • Dose Changes recommended in text form • Graph of dose vs Genotype Recommendations where possible
Indications and Usage Section • Data on Specific Genetic Populations • E.g. “Herceptin is indicated in women with Her2neu-positive breast cancer” Adverse Reactions and Contraindications Section • Clear Genotypes or Genotypic Patterns to be Avoided
Recommendations for Drug Labels • Include in the Label • Specificity and Sensitivity Data • Incidence in Ethnic Subpopulations • A Description of Clinical Context • A listing of currently approved predictive tests in the Clinical Studies Section • An Attempt to Quantitate the Iterative Value of a pharmacogenetic test in at least the Clinical Pharmacology Section • A Clear Clinical Consequence: • Change in Dose • Consider an Alternative Drug
