This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is a serious disease expected to be the world-leading cause of death in the 21st century. The use of harsh chemotherapies is motivated and accepted but, unfortunately, is often accompanied by severe toxicity and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). These occur because the classical chemotherapies’ common modes of action effectively kill and/or reduce the growth rate not only of tumour cells, but also of many other rapidly dividing healthy cells in the body. There are also considerable interindividual differences in ADRs, even between patients with similar cancers and disease stage treated with equal doses; some experience severe to life-threatening ADRs after one dose, leading to treatment delays, adjustments, or even discontinuation resulting in suboptimal treatment, while others remain unaffected through all treatment cycles. Being able to predict which patients are at high or low risk of ADRs, and to adjust doses accordingly before treatment, would probably decrease toxicity and patient suffering while also increasing treatment tolerability and effects. In this thesis, we have used next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics for the prediction of myelosuppressive ADRs in lung and ovarian cancer patients treated with gemcitabine/carboplatin and paclitaxel/carboplatin. Paper I shows that ABCB1 and CYP2C8 genotypes have small effects inadequate for stratification of paclitaxel/carboplatin toxicity. This supports the transition to whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Papers II and IV, respectively, use WES and WGS, and demonstrate that genetic variation in or around genes involved in blood cell regulation and proliferation, or genes differentially expressed at chemotherapy exposure, can be used in polygenic prediction models for stratification of gemcitabine/carboplatininduced myelosuppression. Paper III reassuringly shows that WES and WGS are concordant and mostly yield comparable genotypes across the exome. Paper V proves that single-cell RNA sequencing of hematopoietic stem cells is a feasible method for elucidating differential transcriptional effects induced as a response to in vitro chemotherapy treatment. In conclusion, our results supports the transition to genome-wide approaches using WES, WGS, and RNA sequencing to establish polygenic models that combine effects of multiple pharmacogenetic biomarkers for predicting chemotherapy-induced ADRs. This approach could be applied to improve risk stratification and our understanding of toxicity and ADRs related to other drugs and diseases. We hope that our myelosuppression prediction models can be refined and validated to facilitate personalized treatments, leading to increased patient wellbeing and quality of life.

Download or read book Preventive and Predictive Genetics: Towards Personalised Medicine written by Godfrey Grech and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharmacogenomics supports personalized medicine by translating genome-based knowledge into clinical practice, offering enhanced benefit for patients and health-care systems at large. Current routine practice for diagnosing and treating patients is conducted by correlating parameters such as age, gender and weight with risks and expected treatment outcomes. In the new era of personalized medicine the healthcare provider is equipped with improved ability to prevent, diagnose, treat and predict outcomes on the basis of complex information sources, including genetic and genomic data. Targeted therapy and reliable prediction of expected outcomes offer patients access to better healthcare management, by way of identifying the therapies effective for the relevant patient group, avoiding prescription of unnecessary treatment and reducing the likelihood of developing adverse drug reactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text examines the methods needed to analyze new adverse drug reactions, both inside and outside pharmaceutical companies. It evaluates the drug information cycle within pharmaceutical companies, which incorporates feedback about the drug from clinical trials (pre-marketing), epidemiological studies (pre- and post-marketing), and adverse event feedback (from doctors and drug information centres), an ongoing process known as Pharmacovigilance. The information is then analyzed and collated prior to feeding the results back into the medical community and the drug development cycle. The book assesses existing methods of collection, storage and processing of adverse event data, and outlines ways of improving the drug information cycle. The fourth edition contains new chapters on: legal aspects; statistical methods; pharmacoepidemiology; quality of life; pharmacovigilance centres; mechanisms of ADRs; interactions and pharmacogenetics; and causality and signal recognition.

Download or read book Assessment of the Clinical Utility of Pharmacogenomic Testing on Drug Utilization in a High-risk Patient Population written by Sarah Marie Villarreal and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential benefits of incorporating pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing into clinical practice include minimizing adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and improving clinical outcomes based on genetic differences of individuals. Despite significant advances in bridging PGx from bench-to-bedside, there have been slower efforts to incorporate PGx testing into routine clinical practice due to the lack of robust evidence for clinical utility and convincing studies demonstrating improved health outcomes. The UPGRADE Registry, an interim, prospective, observational trial aimed at assessing several key aspects of PGx testing: 1) determining the total number of high-risk patients that had at least one drug change and its impact on patients; 2) describing the genetic polymorphisms representing populations in the US and Puerto Rico; 3) to evaluate the association between race/ethnicity and the percentage of drug changes; and 4) identifying individual factors (age, gender, co-morbidities, number of drugs, and race/ethnicity) affecting the number of drug changes implemented by practitioners. Approximately 25% of the entire cohort underwent drug changes after PGx testing results (defined as dose modifications, drug substitutions, and drug discontinuations); however, almost 50% of patients with adverse drug reactions (ADRs) with drug-drug or drug-gene interactions experienced subsequent therapeutic modifications. The ADR cohort reported herein also experienced significant decreases in the number of ADRs after PGx testing recommendations. The major subset of the UPGRADE population (95%) was characterized as experiencing a lack of drug activity (LOA); only 25% of these patients experienced any therapeutic drug modification. The UPGRADE registry confirms currently published literature that provides additional support to the distribution of polymorphic changes in drug metabolizing enzymes within the US population. There were no differences in the percentage of drug changes that occurred when comparing differing ethnicities, indicating a lack of healthcare disparity within this high-risk population. Several factors were identified as independent predictors of the number of drug changes. A positive relationship, (i.e. increasing the likelihood of drug change) was seen with number of drugs, gastrointestinal disorders, and hepatobiliary diseases. This prospective, observational, study demonstrated the potential of drug modifications in prevention of subsequent ADRs and improving LOA based on PGx testing of drug metabolizing enzymes. Additional education to clinical providers regarding the use and benefit of PGx testing is warranted based on guidance provided by our PGx testing results and a lack of subsequent drug changes.

This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 1119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Pharmacogenomics and Stratified Medicine is a comprehensive resource to understand this rapidly advancing field aiming to deliver the right drug at the right dose to the right patient at the right time. It is designed to provide a detailed, but accessible review of the entire field from basic principles to applications in various diseases. The chapters are written by international experts to allow readers from a wide variety of backgrounds, clinical and non-clinical (basic geneticists, pharmacologists, clinicians, trialists, industry personnel, ethicists) to understand the principles underpinning the progress in this area, the successes, failures and the challenges ahead. To be accessible to the widest range of readers, the clinical application section introduces the disease process, existing therapies, followed by pharmacogenomics and stratified medicine details.Medicine is the cornerstone of modern therapeutics prescribed on the basis that its benefit should outweigh its risk. It is well known that people respond differently to medications and in many cases the risk-benefit ratio for a particular drug may be a gray area. The last decade has seen a revolution in genomics both in terms of technological innovation and discovering genetic markers associated with disease. In parallel there has been steady progress in trying to make medicines safer and tailored to the individual. This has occurred across the whole spectrum of medicine, some more than others. In addition there is burgeoning interest from the pharmaceutical industry to leverage pharmacogenomics for more effective and efficient clinical drug development. - Provides clinical and non-clinical researchers with practical information normally beyond their usual areas of research or expertise - Includes an basic principles section explaining concepts of basic genetics, genetic epidemiology, bioinformatics, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics - Covers newer technologies– next generation sequencing, proteomics, metabolomics - Provides information on animal models, lymphoblastoid cell lines, stem cells - Provides detailed chapters on a wide range of disease conditions, implementation and regulatory issues - Includes chapters on the global implications of pharmacogenomics

Download or read book Pharmacogenomics in Latin America written by Luis A. Quiñones and published by Nova Biomedical Books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, adverse drug reactions are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients, as well as increased healthcare costs. Published data show that there are around 2 million adverse drug reactions, including 100,000 deaths, which are established as the fourth leading cause of mortality. This culminates an estimated cost of 136 billion dollars to the global healthcare system. However, these values are underestimated, because in many parts of the world there are no reliable records of pharmacovigilance. This is the case in Latin America, where the records of adverse reactions are still insufficient, and therefore it is not possible to properly establish the extent of its effects on public health. At the same time, treatment failure due to sub-therapeutic levels of drugs is not evaluated in healthcare systems, especially in Latin America, where the "importation" of dosages and results from clinical trials form the fundamental basis of the application and acquisition of pharmaceutical products. This is due mainly to current protocols, which assume that patients are a single entity; therefore, drugs effective and well-tolerated in some patients are equally effective in the rest. Clinical experience shows that drugs that work well in some patients are ineffective or cause adverse reactions in others, and may even prove fatal to intolerant patients. The main objective of this book is to catalog the most relevant information concerning healthcare drug effects in Latin America. This could provide a huge benefit for Latin American patients, where it is estimated that there are plenty of side effects and treatment failure due to the "importation" of dosages and therapies regardless of population variability. It should encourage discussion and concern about the implementation and validation of pharmacogenomic testing and clinical guidelines for specific mixed populations of the region. It will also be valuable to demonstrate this research to health professionals (prescribers, insurers and regulators) in the region and the impact of pharmacogenomics on pharmacotherapy cost-effectiveness.
