Enter Pharmacogenomics The study of how genetics affect individual variation in response to drugs Environmental Factors Genetic Variation Drug Properties Drug Response
Pharmacogenomic Terminology DNA RNA Protein Gene Term Singlenucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Allele Genotype Phenotype Definition Unit of DNA that encodes a protein Genetic variation of a DNA building block (single nucleotide) A variant form of a gene Humans have two alleles for each gene Individual genetic constitution (Describes combination of alleles) Observable properties of an organism
Clopidogrel Pharmacogenomics Prodrug activated primarily by CYP2C19 The gene encoding CYP2C19 has many alleles Some patients have decreased or loss of function alleles Drug activation Platelets remain active Risk for thrombosis CYP2C19 function does not affect other P2Y 12 inhibitors Trenk D, et al. Br J Clin Pharmacol. 2013 Aug 13;77(4):642-53.
CYP2C19 Polymorphisms Allele Phenotype Clinical Result CYP2C19*1 Wild-type CYP2C19*2 Loss-of-function allele Decreased efficacy CYP2C19*3-8 Reduced/loss of function Decreased efficacy CYP2C19*17 Increased enzyme activity Increased efficacy and increased bleeding Poor metabolizer *2/*2 or *3/*3 Intermediate metabolizer *1/*2 or *1/*3 (Carrier) Extensive metabolizer *1/*1 (Homozygous wild-type) Rapid metabolizer *1/*17 (Carrier) Ultra-rapid metabolizer *17/*27 Trenk D, et al. Br J Clin Pharmacol. 2013 Aug 13;77(4):642-53.
Clinical Outcomes in CYP2C19 Variants CYP2C19 Variant HR (95% CI) p-value One reduced function variant 1.57 (1.13-2.16) 0.006 Two reduced function variants 1.55 (1.11-2.17) 0.01 One or two reduced function variants 1.76 (1.24-2.50) 0.002 n = 9685 Cardiovascular Death, Myocardial Infarction, or Ischemic Stroke Black Box Warning Consider alternate treatment or treatment strategies in patients identified as CYP2C19 poor metabolizers Trenk D, et al.

Other Potential Polymorphisms ABCB1 Encodes P-glycoprotein efflux pump >50 variants Paraoxonase and other CYP450 enzymes Involved with clopidogrel activation Carboxyesterase Deactivates clopidogrel Trenk D, et al. Br J Clin Pharmacol. 2013 Aug 13;77(4):642-53.
Identification of Variant Patients Laboratory-based methods Time consuming and labor intensive Point-of-care assays Spartan RX System Verigene XP System Verigene Spartan RX Test Medium Whole blood Buccal swab Time to Result 2.5 hours 1 hour Polymorphisms Identified *2, *3, *17 *2, *3,*17 Siller-Matula, et al.

Lessons Learned Necessities Interdisciplinary implementation team Hospital leadership buy-in Barriers Drug cost Ongoing evidence review needed Phlebotomy, nurse, clinician education Information technology integration Delay to results
Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2015; 72(7):579-81 Role of the Pharmacist Recommend pharmacogenomic testing Design personalized regimens based on the patient s pharmacogenomic profile Educate patients, pharmacists, and other health care professionals Communicate and document interpretation and recommendations to the health care team
Summary and Conclusions Pharmacogenomic differences contribute to response variability of clopidogrel Genetic testing can be utilized to individualize therapy Pharmacists serve a key role in pharmacogenomic implementation
