6 16 S-M Huang PD 17 S-M Huang Warfarin & CYP2C9 & VKORC DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Knowledge of genotype can inform initial dose selection. (2.3) If the patient s CYP2C9 and/or VKORC1 genotype are known, consider these ranges in choosing the initial dose. Patients with CYP2C9 *1/*3, *2/*2, *2/*3, and *3/*3 may require more prolonged time (>2 to 4 weeks) to achieve maximum INR effect for a given dosage regimen than patients without these CYP variants.

7 Debates on Warfarin Continued Access to data opens door for the transformation of research, clinical care and patient engagement Utility of genomic information for drug prescribing must be documented with rigorous evidence 19 S-M Huang FDA has worked to respond to, anticipate and help drive scientific developments in personalized therapeutics and diagnostics The concept of personalized medicine is not new What is new is that advances in a wide range of fields from genomics to medical imaging are allowing patients to be treated and monitored more precisely and effectively 20 S-M Huang FDA Guidance Development - Early Phase Clinical Studies- 21 S-M Huang 7

8 Published in January mplianceregulatoryinformation/guidances/ucm pdf Included examples 22 S-M Huang Pharmacogenomic Information in the Labeling 23 S-M Huang Examples of FDA Labeling with Pharmacogenetics-Related Information Drug Gene Context Abacavir HLA-B Boxed warning that patients with the HLA-B*5701 allele are at increased risk for Azathioprine and 6- mercaptopurine hypersensitivity to abacavir. Genetic screening is recommended before starting abacavir. TPMT Description of increased risk for myelotoxicity with conventional azathioprine or 6- mercaptopurine doses in patients with a nonfunctional TPMT allele in the clinical pharmacology section. Consideration of TPMT genetic testing is recommended. Atomoxetine CYP2D6 Warning that dose adjustment may be necessary in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers to avoid adverse drug effects. Capecitabine DPD Warning about an increased risk for severe toxicity (e.g. diarrhea, stomatitis, neutropenia, and neurotoxicity) in patients with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency. Carbamazepine HLA-B Boxed warning of increased risk for serious dermatologic reactions (e.g. toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome) in patients with the HLA- Cetuximab/Panitumumab EGFR, KRAS B*1502 variant. Patients from genetically at-risk regions (e.g. Southeast Asia) should be screened for the HLA-B*1502 allele prior to starting carbamazepine. These drugs are indicated for EGRF-expressing colorectal cancer and may be ineffective in patients whose tumors have a KRAS mutation in codon 12 or 13. Codeine CYP2D6 Warning about greater conversion to morphine in patients who are ultra-rapid metabolizers secondary to the CYP2D6*2x*2 genotype. New contraindication in children undergoing post-tonsillectomy Clopidogrel CYP2C19 Boxed warning of possible reduced drug effectiveness in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers with 2 loss-of-function alleles. Crizotinib ALK Confirmation of the lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive mutation is required prior to drug use. Postmarketing trial in ALK-negative patients is ongoing Cavallari LH, Klein TE, Huang SM.

Prior to initiating therapy with abacavir, screening for the HLA-B*5701 allele is recommended; this approach has been found to decrease the risk of hypersensitivity reaction.

Future drug development will increasingly need to rely on powerful computational techniques that have the ability to integrate laboratory data, information from animal studies, and human data into models of health, disease, and outcomes of interventions. Precision medicine will need to be supported by very accurate, reliable diagnostics and the development of these may well be the rate- limiting step for advancement of the field.
