Pharmacogenetics: From DNA to Dosage – Just A Click Away

This article explores the influence of genetic variation on an individual's response to pharmacologic agents and the use of pharmacogenetics testing in clinical practice. It discusses the PREDICT initiative, which aims to provide real-time decision support for individualized drug therapy. The article also highlights the implementation process and the PREDICT model for Clopidogrel (PLAVIX) and CYP2C19 genotype analysis.

  3. Pharmacogenetics: From DNA To Dosage – Just A Click Away Pharmacogenetics: • influence of genetic variation on an individual’s response to pharmacologic agents • Pharmacogenetics testing is not routinely used in clinical practice • when ordered, is done “as needed” preventing usefulness for initial dosing • many drugs, many genes, many studies result in information overload for the provider

  4. Pharmacogenetics: From DNA To Dosage – Just A Click Away PREDICT: PharmacogenomicResource for Enhanced Decisions In Care and Treatment

  5. PREDICT Initiative Rationale • Provide real-time decision support thereby facilitating individualized drug therapy to maximize efficacy, minimize adverse drug reactions, and reduce health care costs

  6. PREDICT Initiative Assemble multidisciplinary, multidepartment team Pathology, Informatics, Pharmacy, Clinicians, Ethics, Legal, Regulatory Proof of Concept Which drug/gene relationship should test the model? Genotyping Which methodology? Research or CLIA lab? Informatics Data management, Electronic health record, decision support Implementation – 9/15/2010 Assessment of the initiative – ongoing Measure utility of decision support and clinical impact of genotyping

  8. PREDICT Process – Phase I • Consent process • Adult Admitting & ED Registration • “CONSENT FOR ROUTINE TESTS, MEDICAL TREATMENT, AND GENETIC TESTS TO GUIDE DRUG THERAPY…” • Provider discusses genotyping studies • Blood drawn • Sample arrives in laboratory • DNA extracted (day 1) • Assay performed (day 2) • Results reviewed and released (day 3)

  9. PREDICT Process – Phase I • Raw data converted to drug genome interaction fact for computerized decision support in electronic health record (EHR) • Provider accesses EHR; alerted to results • Provider receives decision support regarding dosing or alternative medications • Provider optimizes patient management utilizing information provided by genotyping studies

  10. PREDICT Model Clopidogrel (PLAVIX) –CYP2C19 • FDA issued a “black box” warning regarding the clinical relevance of genotype analysis • Widely prescribed to patients at our medical facility • Could provide decision support and measure the change in prescribing behavior of the provider based on the given decision support • Targeted patient population to launch model – the cardiac catheterization lab

  11. FDA – Black Box WarningIssued March 12, 2010 • WARNING: DIMINISHED EFFECTIVENESS IN POOR METABOLIZERS • Effectiveness of Plavix depends on activation to an active metabolite by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system, principally CYP2C19. • Poor metabolizers treated with Plavix at recommended doses exhibit higher cardiovascular event rates following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) than patients with normal CYP2C19 function. • Tests are available to identify a patient's CYP2C19 genotype and can be used as an aid in determining therapeutic strategy. • Consider alternative treatment or treatment strategies in patients identified as CYP2C19 poor metabolizers.

  12. Clopidogrel - PLAVIX • Requires gastro-intestinal absorption and hepatic biotransformation • Is an inhibitor to the P2RY12 receptor thereby preventing binding of ADP • Increases risk of bleeding; especially GI bleeding when combined with warfarin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Simon T. et al, N Engl J Med 2009

  13. Clopidogrel - PLAVIX CH3 Prodrug Active CH3 • Antiplatelet therapy, often prescribed in combination with aspirin • Initial dose 300 mg followed by 75 mg daily • Indications for use: acute coronary syndrome; recent myocardial infarction or stroke; peripheral arterial disease; or patients managed following angioplasty, bypass surgery or stent placement

  17. CYP2C19 – Clopidogrel Patients with reduced function alleleshave: • significantly lower levels of the active metabolite • diminished platelet inhibition and higher rate of platelet aggregation • higher rate of major adverse cardiovascular events and higher risk of stent thrombosis

  31. Electronic Health Record Currently, CYP2C19 results sent to EHR, all other data is stored but can be sent to EHR in the future when drug genome interactions decisions become “actionable”

  32. Electronic Prescription Order

  34. Clopidogrel Response CYP2C19 Genotype • Genetic Factors • Polymorphisms in CYP2C19 and other CYPs, as well as SNPs in P2RY12,GpIIb/IIIa • Cellular Factors • P2RY12 and non P2Y pathways • Clinical Factors • Drug-drug interactions, elevated body mass, smoking, diabetes, poor compliance

  35. ADME QA/QC • Allele frequencies of all genotypes • Discordant results: controls and repeat patients (which SNPs and frequency) • Assay performance: # of samples per plate with average call rates <97.30% (7/185 SNPs no call) • Locus performance (<95% call rates)

  41. Summary • Implemented a mid-throughput assay to screen 34 genes (185 SNPs) involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion • Detected polymorphisms similar in frequencies to that previously reported • Established QA/QC parameters for assay • Developed a process to enable decision support to providers for drug dosing based on DNA findings which will facilitate genetically informed medicine

  42. Summary • Implemented a scalable process to allow expansion to other actionable SNPs with associated decision support rules • Process enables retrospective auto-population of stored data in patients EHR for future without the need for repeat testing • Measure clinical utility and impact of genotyping data and decision support services • Phase II - system permits identification of “at risk” patient populations for preemptive genotyping
