7 Prescription Medication Compliance Up to 50 % of patients do not take medications as prescribed Stop taking medicine before it runs out, 22% Take medications as prescribed, 54% Don't fill prescription, 12% Fill prescription but don t take medicine, 12% 7 Source:

8 Prescription Medication Compliance! 10 % hospitalizations due to noncompliance! 3.5 million patients! Average hospital stay in 4.2 days due to noncompliance! $15.2 billion cost! 23 % of all nursing home admissions are due to noncompliance! 380,000 patients! $31.3 billion cost! Noncompliance causes 125,000 deaths annual in the United States 8

9 Prescription Medication Compliance! Factors Believed To Affect Compliance! Patient knowledge! Prior compliance behavior! Ability to integrate into daily life / complexity of drug regimen! Health beliefs and perceptions of benefits of treatment! Social support, including practitioner relationship! Factors Believed NOT To Affect Compliance! Age, race, gender, income or education! Patient intelligence! Actual seriousness of disease or efficacy of the treatment 9

10 Personalized Medicine: The Future " FDA # Insist on diagnostic links that decrease side effects and improve efficacy with new therapies " Payors # Demand diagnostics to manage drug costs and improve patient care # CMS approval for targeted drugs depends on efficacy " Pharmaceutical Companies # Reduce drug failures in late clinical trials (and on the market) # Increase efficacy - show real value of drug " Patients # Improved care more effective treatments with fewer side effects 10

11 Personalized Medicine: The Future "Diagnostics Turn the Hype into Reality # 3% of the costs 70% of the medical decisions # Make new drugs work # More than 50% of cancer drugs in development today are targeted and will need diagnostics to determine use # Save money # Reduce ineffective use of drugs and treatments # Save lives # Give physicians information to better use options available # Deliver on the promise # The right drug to the right patient at the right time 11

12 The Key to Personalized Medicine: Diagnostics Current - Diagnostic Testing Identify disease state with high level of resolution Emerging Today - Prognostic Testing Clarify probable outcomes Monitor disease Emerging Tomorrow - Predictive Testing Predict response to therapeutics Screen for adverse outcomes Define risks for development of common diseases 12

13 Genetic Testing Market Number of Available Tests* 13 * Excludes genetic tests for hereditary cancers and infectious diseases Source: GeneTests.org

14 The Department of Human Genome Impact: Pharmaceutical Division! Like drinking from a fire hose! Lots of volume! Huge amounts of novel data! Everyone gets wet! New discoveries affect every facet of disease management! Not everyone s thirst is quenched! Genomics is not the answer to every question! Trying to drink too fast can hurt! A disorganized approach to the use of genomics can waste money and time! A little thought on how to capture and use the water later can be helpful! Incorporating genomic information early in development can lead to benefits in later clinical trials 14

15 Standing on the Shoulders of Giants "We wish to suggest a structure for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid (D.N.A.). This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest......it has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material. -James Watson and Francis Crick Nature 171:737,

Craig Venter, NY Times 2/13/01 They have to say something about a worthless database William A. Haseltine, NY Times 2/13/01 18

19 Why This Matters! Benefits patients! Improved diagnostics (Dx)! Targeted therapeutics (Rx)! Individualized care will become a reality! Best treatment for the individual patient! Actual evidence for Evidence Based Medicine! The public expects this to happen! A need to manage expectations! Understand and anticipate scientific advances and educate the public about the impact 19

20 Genetics is news targeting 20

21 The Prediction Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future Niels Bohr! Someday your genome will be on a credit card-sized device or ipod! Dr. Will Gilbert at UNH is already carrying around the latest version of several genomes on his ipod Scarlet Pruitt, IDG News Service Monday, January 20, 2003 Is this the correct prediction? Why would this be desirable? What might the future really look like? 21

22 Challenges to Implementation! Technology! Information!Cost!Need!Desire 22

23 Technology! Entire human genome occupies about 1Gb of storage when compressed.! 1Gb USB drives available for less than $20! Future storage advances will easily solve any portable storage issue! With broadband access may not even need to carry information with you This is an absolutely achievable goal! Whole genome sequencing on a populationwide scale is a significant technical leap away This goal will take significant effort 23

24 Information! What kind of information is needed?! The task of sorting through the Human Genome Project! Over 3 billion bases! 25,000+ genes! Over 40% of which have no known function! Millions of variants! Most discoveries will be diagnostic before they are therapeutic! Problem of knowledge with no recourse! Lack of understanding of which sequences and sequence changes are important 24

25 Cost! Assume the sequencing cost is $1000! Does not include shipping, labor, results analysis, reporting and markup! 4 million births annually! $4 billion/year in sequencing costs! Assume only those with a certain level of education! High school & college grads = $2.2 billion/yr! Postgraduate = $1 billion/yr! Roughly 88% have health insurance of some kind! ~$2.8 billion to health insurance plans/year! This does not include the bolus of sequencing for the existing population! Estimated market size for all of genetic testing in 2004 is $600 million (Frost & Sullivan) 25 National Vital Statistics Reports Final data for 2000 Centers for Disease Control National Center for Health Statistics

26 Need (the So What?!? test)!to what use will this information be put?! For centuries medicine has been geared towards problem solving! Information is requested at the time of illness not gathered in advance! Trial and error medicine predominates! FDA approves based on safety first, efficacy second 26

27 Desire! Do we really want to know this information?! This is not the philosophical All and ever present good! Many individuals prefer not to know! ~50% of women seeking amniocentesis decide otherwise after non-directive genetic counseling! ~57-84% of at risk individuals for Huntington s Disease indicated interest in test before it was available. Less than 20% (2-16%) actually took the test after it was launched! Fear of being unable to undo the knowledge! Loss of insurance, job! Survivor guilt Maat-Kievit et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2000;69:

28 Educational Challenges! Educating healthcare workers! Genetics as a part of medical education is increasing but remains a low emphasis subject for the current student! The current healthcare workforce has had minimal to no genetics education! For the practicing physician >45 years old most of the era of genetic discovery has come since they graduated medical school.! May take a generational change to fully incorporate these medical practice advances 28

29 I want that new test! vs. Why should I use/pay for that? The Yin/Yang of Providers, Payors & Employers! Inability to fully evaluate tests! Large number of areas to cover! Current clinical responsibilities leave little time for study! Utilization management and cost containment are primary drivers! Employers focus on health care costs! Certain that tests costs will rise with no real benefit to them! Employees want the tests covered! Providers and payors are bombarded by requests for new tests! Effect of plan members with access to Internet, NY Times, USA Today, local papers, TV, radio, Bill Nye the Science Guy 29

30 Payors and the information glut It is all a matter of individual perspective Questions and comments from managed care! What about privacy concerns when everyone s genome is on a credit card sized device?! They can clone sheep, what about humans? What do I need to plan for in my budget?! Genetics is nothing, Bariatric surgery is the most over hyped clinical event in 25 years! It has dramatically hit my budget.! You are wrong if you think you are going to price a test based on the amount of money you are saving me divided by the patients tested.! Why should I care, I just deny everything anyway!! Why don t we just wait until the proteomics tests come to market?! Genetic testing is just for rare diseases that don t occur in the members of this plan. 30

31 The providers are just as perplexed! Is DNA really found in every cell?! The last genetics I took was in medical school 30 years ago!! Just tell me which box to check off and what the rights codes are.! They found the gene for disease X. My (patient, mother, husband, child ) has disease X. Where can I get the (test, therapy, cure )! I keep hearing about these microarray things. What is the big deal?! Can you explain to my patient (and me) what the genetic information means?! My professional organization has established this as standard of care. Now what do I do? 31

32 The Doe Family Janet Jane John Joseph Jackie Jake 32

33 Jane Diagnostic Impact! Born in 1942! Jane s mother had no genetic testing offered to her during her pregnancy! 1980 gives birth to daughter Jackie! Offered amniocentesis, karyotype analysis & biochemical genetic analysis! Standard of care determined by age due to invasiveness of procedure! 2010 Jackie gives birth to Jake! First trimester screening routine! Genetic analysis done via blood sample test of Fetal DNA in maternal circulation, pre & post test genetic counseling! Minimal invasiveness means no age cutoff; Information available for all pregnancies 33

34 Jane Pharmacogenetics! 2000! Jane is diagnosed with depression! One of ~20 million individuals diagnosed each year! Placed on standard dose tricyclic anti-depressant! Shows signs of confusion! Difficulty concentrating! Physician interprets as further signs of depression, incr. dose! Agitation! Nausea and vomiting! Jane switched to alternative TCA! 2007! Jane is diagnosed with depression! CYP450 genotype determined! Deficient in CYP2D6! Placed on SSRI successfully The genotype also explains why Jane does not respond to codeine based analgesics 34

35 Joseph Pharmacogenetics,56" 789" -:;"! 2002! Joseph is diagnosed with hypertension and placed on his first "-blocker! Experiences wheezing and shortness of breath! Hypertension is not adequately resolved! Joseph is switched to another "- blocker! While his hypertension is eased Joseph experiences dizziness at the effective dose! Joseph speaks to a friend, sees his physician as a new patient! Receives his third different "- blocker! Hypertension controlled without significant side effects! 2009! Joseph is diagnosed with hypertension! Physician orders a CYP450 genotype! Test identifies Joseph as a poor metabolizer for a class of drugs requiring CYP2D6! Physician uses this information to select a "-blocker not metabolized in this manner! Joseph s hypertension is controlled without significant side effects. All in one visit and with one drug 35

36 Jane & Janet Prognosis & Treatment Impact! Jane, 2000! Undergoes colonoscopy! Found to have a Dukes A adenocarcinoma! Successful surgical resection, unremarkable hospital stay, no further Rx! Returns at regular intervals for follow-up colonoscopy! Found to have widespread metastasis at 5yrs. post resection Both sisters receive genetic counseling concerning colon cancer risk and options! Janet, 2009! Molecular test to detect colon cancer! Undergoes colonoscopy! Found to have a Dukes A adenocarcinoma (15% metastasize)! Learns from the Internet about a molecular test for cancer spread! Successful surgical resection & hospital stay! Molecular profiling determines her tumor has high metastatic potential! Treated with 5-FU! Disease free at 5yrs. 36

37 Human Genome Project Impact Genetic Counseling! Responsible approach based on evidence-based practice guidelines! Enhances informed decision-making & consent! 45%-55% of patients accept amnios after genetic counseling! Improves health care coordination and supports health plan goals! Right test for the right patient at the right time Janet Jane Jackie John Jake! Better prenatal testing & cancer diagnostics! The right drug to the right patient at the right dose! Novel targeted treatments! Reduced adverse events Joseph 37

46 Boston Metropolitan Area 46 The Real Impact Of The Human Genome Project

47 Summary! The use of genetics in drug development is increasing as a result of a:! Greater understanding of disease mechanisms! Response to competition! Recognition that approval times can be shortened! Recognition that regulatory agencies are now expecting this kind of data in support of an application! The healthcare community is moving to adopt targeted therapy! Better efficacy! Safer treatments! Better outcomes! The future of Personalized Medicine is secure! Now begun, there are too many benefits to the public to prevent its adoption 47

48 Two closing thoughts The danger with the information revolution is that we will overestimate the short term implications, and underestimate the long term impact. Bill Gates Much the same can be said of the genomic revolution Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there. Mark Twain 48
