Item Multi-site investigation of strategies for the implementation of CYP2C19 genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy(Wiley, 2018) Empey, Philip E.; Stevenson, James M.; Tuteja, Sony; Weitzel, Kristin W.; Angiolillo, Dominick J.; Beitelshees, Amber L.; Coons, James C.; Duarte, Julio D.; Franchi, Francesco; Jeng, Linda J. B.; Johnson, Julie A.; Kreutz, Rolf P.; Limdi, Nita A.; Maloney, Kristin A.; Obeng, Aniwaa Owusu; Peterson, Josh F.; Petry, Natasha; Pratt, Victoria M.; Rollini, Fabiana; Scott, Stuart A.; Skaar, Todd C.; Vesely, Mark R.; Stouffer, George A.; Wilke, Russell A.; Cavallari, Larisa H.; Lee, Craig R.; Medicine, School of MedicineCYP2C19 genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention is increasingly implemented in clinical practice. However, challenges such as selecting a testing platform, communicating test results, building clinical decision support processes, providing patient and provider education, and integrating methods to support the translation of emerging evidence to clinical practice are barriers to broad adoption. In this report, we compare and contrast implementation strategies of 12 early adopters, describing solutions to common problems and initial performance metrics for each program. Key differences between programs included the test result turnaround time and timing of therapy changes which are both related to CYP2C19 testing model and platform used. Sites reported the need for new informatics infrastructure, expert clinicians such as pharmacists to interpret results, physician champions, and ongoing education. Consensus lessons learned are presented to provide a path forward for those seeking to implement similar clinical pharmacogenomics programs within their institutions.

BACKGROUND: CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles impair clopidogrel effectiveness after PCI. METHODS: After clinical genotyping, each institution recommended alternative antiplatelet therapy (prasugrel, ticagrelor) in PCI patients with a loss-of-function allele. Major adverse cardiovascular events (defined as myocardial infarction, stroke, or death) within 12 months of PCI were compared between patients with a loss-of-function allele prescribed clopidogrel versus alternative therapy. Risk was also compared between patients without a loss-of-function allele and loss-of-function allele carriers prescribed alternative therapy. Cox regression was performed, adjusting for group differences with inverse probability of treatment weights. RESULTS: Among 1,815 patients, 572 (31.5%) had a loss-of-function allele. The risk for major adverse cardiovascular events was significantly higher in patients with a loss-of-function allele prescribed clopidogrel versus alternative therapy (23.4 vs. 8.7 per 100 patient-years; adjusted hazard ratio: 2.26; 95% confidence interval: 1.18 to 4.32; p = 0.013). Similar results were observed among 1,210 patients with acute coronary syndromes at the time of PCI (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.87; 95% confidence interval: 1.35 to 6.09; p = 0.013). There was no difference in major adverse cardiovascular events between patients without a loss-of-function allele and loss-of-function allele carriers prescribed alternative therapy (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.14; 95% confidence interval: 0.69 to 1.88; p = 0.60). CONCLUSIONS: These data from real-world observations demonstrate a higher risk for cardiovascular events in patients with a CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele if clopidogrel versus alternative therapy is prescribed. A future randomized study of genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy may be of value.Item Multisite Investigation of Strategies for the Implementation of CYP2C19 Genotype-Guided Antiplatelet Therapy(Wiley, 2018-10) Empey, Philip E.; Stevenson, James M.; Tuteja, Sony; Weitzel, Kristin W.; Angiolillo, Dominick J.; Beitelshees, Amber L.; Coons, James C.; Duarte, Julio D.; Franchi, Francesco; Jeng, Linda J.B.; Johnson, Julie A.; Kreutz, Rolf P.; Limdi, Nita A.; Maloney, Kristin A.; Obeng, Aniwaa Owusu; Peterson, Josh F.; Petry, Natasha; Pratt, Victoria M.; Rollini, Fabiana; Scott, Stuart A.; Skaar, Todd C.; Vesely, Mark R.; Stouffer, George A.; Wilke, Russell A.; Cavallari, Larisa H.; Lee, Craig R.; IGNITE Network; Medicine, School of MedicineCYP2C19 genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention is increasingly implemented in clinical practice.

To understand potential barriers and provider attitudes, we surveyed 285 physicians from five Implementing GeNomics In pracTicE (IGNITE) sites about their perceptions as to the clinical utility of genetic data as well as their preparedness to integrate it into practice. These responses were also analyzed in comparison to the type of study occurring at the physicians' institution (pharmacogenetics versus disease genetics). The majority believed that genetic testing is clinically useful; however, only a third believed that they had obtained adequate training to care for genetically "high-risk" patients. Physicians involved in pharmacogenetics initiatives were more favorable towards genetic testing applications; they found it to be clinically useful and felt more prepared and confident in their abilities to adopt it into their practice in comparison to those participating in disease genetics initiatives. These results suggest that investigators should explore which attributes of clinical pharmacogenetics (such as the use of simplified genetics-guided recommendations) can be implemented to improve attitudes and preparedness to implement disease genetics in care. Most physicians felt unprepared to use genetic information in their practice; accordingly, major steps should be taken to develop effective clinical tools and training strategies for physicians.Item Research Directions in the Clinical Implementation of Pharmacogenomics: An Overview of US Programs and Projects(Wiley, 2018-05) Volpi, Simona; Bult, Carol J.; Chisholm, Rex L.; Deverka, Patricia A.; Ginsburg, Geoffrey S.; Jacob, Howard J.; Kasapi, Melpomeni; McLeod, Howard L.; Roden, Dan M.; Williams, Marc S.; Green, Eric D.; Rodriguez, Laura Lyman; Aronson, Samuel; Cavallari, Larisa H.; Denny, Joshua C.; Dressler, Lynn G.; Johnson, Julie A.; Klein, Teri E.; Leeder, J.

This variability is frequently observed not only with respect to effective responses but also with adverse drug reactions. Matching patients to the drugs that are most likely to be effective and least likely to cause harm is the goal of effective therapeutics. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) holds the promise of precision medicine through elucidating the genetic determinants responsible for pharmacological outcomes and using them to guide drug selection and dosing. Here we survey the US landscape of research programs in PGx implementation, review current advances and clinical applications of PGx, summarize the obstacles that have hindered PGx implementation, and identify the critical knowledge gaps and possible studies needed to help to address them.
