    Design and Rationale of GUARDD-US: A pragmatic, randomized trial of genetic testing for APOL1 and pharmacogenomic predictors of antihypertensive efficacy in patients with hypertension
    (Elsevier, 2022) Eadon, Michael T.; Cavanaugh, Kerri L.; Orlando, Lori A.; Christian, David; Chakraborty, Hrishikesh; Steen-Burrell, Kady-Ann; Merrill, Peter; Seo, Janet; Hauser, Diane; Singh, Rajbir; Maynor Beasley, Cherry; Fuloria, Jyotsna; Kitzman, Heather; Parker, Alexander S.; Ramos, Michelle; Ong, Henry H.; Elwood, Erica N.; Lynch, Sheryl E.; Clermont, Sabrina; Cicali, Emily J.; Starostik, Petr; Pratt, Victoria M.; Nguyen, Khoa A.; Rosenman, Marc B.; Calman, Neil S.; Robinson, Mimsie; Nadkarni, Girish N.; Madden, Ebony B.; Kucher, Natalie; Volpi, Simona; Dexter, Paul R.; Skaar, Todd C.; Johnson, Julie A.; Cooper-DeHoff, Rhonda M.; Horowitz, Carol R.; GUARDD-US Investigators; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Rationale and objective: APOL1 risk alleles are associated with increased cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk. It is unknown whether knowledge of APOL1 risk status motivates patients and providers to attain recommended blood pressure (BP) targets to reduce cardiovascular disease. Study design: Multicenter, pragmatic, randomized controlled clinical trial. Setting and participants: 6650 individuals with African ancestry and hypertension from 13 health systems. Intervention: APOL1 genotyping with clinical decision support (CDS) results are returned to participants and providers immediately (intervention) or at 6 months (control). A subset of participants are re-randomized to pharmacogenomic testing for relevant antihypertensive medications (pharmacogenomic sub-study). CDS alerts encourage appropriate CKD screening and antihypertensive agent use. Outcomes: Blood pressure and surveys are assessed at baseline, 3 and 6 months. The primary outcome is change in systolic BP from enrollment to 3 months in individuals with two APOL1 risk alleles. Secondary outcomes include new diagnoses of CKD, systolic blood pressure at 6 months, diastolic BP, and survey results. The pharmacogenomic sub-study will evaluate the relationship of pharmacogenomic genotype and change in systolic BP between baseline and 3 months. Results: To date, the trial has enrolled 3423 participants. Conclusions: The effect of patient and provider knowledge of APOL1 genotype on systolic blood pressure has not been well-studied. GUARDD-US addresses whether blood pressure improves when patients and providers have this information. GUARDD-US provides a CDS framework for primary care and specialty clinics to incorporate APOL1 genetic risk and pharmacogenomic prescribing in the electronic health record.

    Developing a Common Framework for Evaluating the Implementation of Genomic Medicine Interventions in Clinical Care: The IGNITE Network’s Common Measures Working Group
    (Nature Publishing group, 2018-06) Orlando, Lori A.; Sperber, Nina R.; Voils, Corrine; Nichols, Marshall; Myers, Rachel A.; Wu, R. Ryanne; Rakhra-Burris, Tejinder; Levy, Kenneth D.; Levy, Mia; Pollin, Toni I.; Guan, Yue; Horowitz, Carol R.; Ramos, Michelle; Kimmel, Stephen E.; McDonough, Caitrin W.; Madden, Ebony B.; Damschroder, Laura J.; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Purpose Implementation research provides a structure for evaluating the clinical integration of genomic medicine interventions. This paper describes the Implementing GeNomics In PracTicE (IGNITE) Network’s efforts to promote: 1) a broader understanding of genomic medicine implementation research; and 2) the sharing of knowledge generated in the network. Methods To facilitate this goal the IGNITE Network Common Measures Working Group (CMG) members adopted the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to guide their approach to: identifying constructs and measures relevant to evaluating genomic medicine as a whole, standardizing data collection across projects, and combining data in a centralized resource for cross network analyses. Results CMG identified ten high-priority CFIR constructs as important for genomic medicine. Of those, eight didn’t have standardized measurement instruments. Therefore, we developed four survey tools to address this gap. In addition, we identified seven high-priority constructs related to patients, families, and communities that did not map to CFIR constructs. Both sets of constructs were combined to create a draft genomic medicine implementation model. Conclusion We developed processes to identify constructs deemed valuable for genomic medicine implementation and codified them in a model. These resources are freely available to facilitate knowledge generation and sharing across the field.

    Establishing the value of genomics in medicine: the IGNITE Pragmatic Trials Network.
    (Springer, 2021-07) Ginsburg, Geoffrey S.; Cavallari, Larisa H.; Chakraborty, Hrishikesh; Cooper-DeHoff, Rhonda M.; Dexter, Paul R.; Eadon, Michael T.; Ferket, Bart S.; Horowitz, Carol R.; Johnson, Julie A.; Kannry, Joseph; Kucher, Natalie; Madden, Ebony B.; Orlando, Lori A.; Parker, Wanda; Peterson, Josh; Pratt, Victoria M.; Rakhra-Burris, Tejinder K.; Ramos, Michelle A.; Skaar, Todd C.; Sperber, Nina; Steen-Burrell, Kady-Ann; Van Driest, Sara L.; Voora, Deepak; Wiisanen, Kristin; Winterstein, Almut G.; Volpi, Simona
    PURPOSE: A critical gap in the adoption of genomic medicine into medical practice is the need for the rigorous evaluation of the utility of genomic medicine interventions. METHODS: The Implementing Genomics in Practice Pragmatic Trials Network (IGNITE PTN) was formed in 2018 to measure the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of genomic medicine interventions, to assess approaches for real-world application of genomic medicine in diverse clinical settings, and to produce generalizable knowledge on clinical trials using genomic interventions. Five clinical sites and a coordinating center evaluated trial proposals and developed working groups to enable their implementation. RESULTS: Two pragmatic clinical trials (PCTs) have been initiated, one evaluating genetic risk APOL1 variants in African Americans in the management of their hypertension, and the other to evaluate the use of pharmacogenetic testing for medications to manage acute and chronic pain as well as depression. CONCLUSION: IGNITE PTN is a network that carries out PCTs in genomic medicine; it is focused on diversity and inclusion of underrepresented minority trial participants; it uses electronic health records and clinical decision support to deliver the interventions. IGNITE PTN will develop the evidence to support (or oppose) the adoption of genomic medicine interventions by patients, providers, and payers.

    Opportunities to implement a sustainable genomic medicine program: lessons learned from the IGNITE Network
    (Springer Nature, 2019-03) Levy, Kenneth D.; Blake, Kathryn; Fletcher-Hoppe, Colette; Franciosi, James; Goto, Diasuke; Hicks, James K.; Holmes, Ann M.; Kanuri, Sri Harsha; Madden, Ebony B.; Musty, Michael D.; Orlando, Lori; Pratt, Victoria M.; Ramos, Michelle; Wu, Ryanne; Ginsburg, Geoffrey; Medicine, School of Medicine
    PURPOSE: While there is growing scientific evidence for and significant advances in the use of genomic technologies in medicine, there is a significant lag in the clinical adoption and sustainability of genomic medicine. Here we describe the findings from the National Human Genome Research Institute's (NHGRI) Implementing GeNomics In pracTicE (IGNITE) Network in identifying key constructs, opportunities, and challenges associated with driving sustainability of genomic medicine in clinical practice. METHODS: Network members and affiliates were surveyed to identify key drivers associated with implementing and sustaining a genomic medicine program. Tallied results were used to develop and weigh key constructs/drivers required to support sustainability of genomic medicine programs. RESULTS: The top three driver-stakeholder dyads were (1) genomic training for providers, (2) genomic clinical decision support (CDS) tools embedded in the electronic health record (EHR), and (3) third party reimbursement for genomic testing. CONCLUSION: Priorities may differ depending on healthcare systems when comparing the current state of key drivers versus projected needs for supporting genomic medicine sustainability. Thus we provide gap-filling guidance based on IGNITE members' experiences. Although results are limited to findings from the IGNITE network, their implementation, scientific, and clinical experience may be used as a road map by others considering implementing genomic medicine programs.
