    (Journal of the American Heart Association, 2022-02-15) Beitelshees, Amber L.; Thomas, Cameron D.; Empey, Philip E.; Stouffer, George A.; Angiolillo, Dominick J.; Franchi, Francesco; Tuteja, Sony; Limdi, Nita A.; Lee, James C.; Duarte, Julio D.; Kreutz, Rolf P.; Skaar, Todd C.; Coons, James C.; Giri, Jay; McDonough, Caitrin W.; Rowland, Rachel; Stevenson, James M.; Thai, Thuy; Vesely, Mark R.; Wellen, Jacob T.; Johnson, Julie A.; Winterstein, Almut G.; Cavallari, Larisa H.; Lee, Craig R.
    Background Studies have demonstrated increased risk of major atherothrombotic events in CYP2C19 loss-of-function (LOF) variant carriers versus non-carriers treated with clopidogrel after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We sought to evaluate real-world outcomes with the clinical implementation of CYP2C19-guided antiplatelet therapy after PCI. Methods and Results Data from 9 medical centers where genotyping was performed in the setting of PCI were included. Alternative therapy with prasugrel or ticagrelor was recommended for patients with a CYP2C19 LOF variant. The primary outcome was the composite of major atherothrombotic events (all-cause death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, stent thrombosis, or hospitalization for unstable angina) within 12 months following PCI. Moderate or severe/life-threatening bleeding within 12 months was a secondary outcome. Among 3342 patients, 1032 (31%) were LOF carriers, of whom 571/1032 (55%) were treated with alternative therapy. In LOF carriers, the rate of major atherothrombotic events was lower in patients treated with alternative therapy versus clopidogrel (adjusted HR, 0.56; 95% CI 0.39-0.82). In those without a LOF allele, no difference was observed (adjusted HR, 1.07; 95% CI 0.71-1.60). There was no difference in bleeding with alternative therapy versus clopidogrel in either LOF carriers or those without a LOF allele. Conclusions Real-world data demonstrate lower atherothrombotic risk in CYP2C19 LOF carriers treated with alternative therapy versus clopidogrel and similar risk in those without a LOF allele treated with clopidogrel or alternative therapy. These data suggest that PCI patients treated with clopidogrel should undergo genotyping so that CYP2C19 LOF carriers can be identified and treated with alternative therapy.

    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.

    Implementing a pragmatic clinical trial to tailor opioids for chronic pain on behalf of the IGNITE ADOPT PGx investigators
    (Wiley, 2024) Skaar, Todd C.; Myers, Rachel A.; Fillingim, Roger B.; Callaghan, John T.; Cicali, Emily; Eadon, Michael T.; Elwood, Erica N.; Ginsburg, Geoffrey S.; Lynch, Sheryl; Nguyen, Khoa A.; Obeng, Aniwaa Owusu; Park, Haesuk; Pratt, Victoria M.; Rosenman, Marc; Sadeghpour, Azita; Shuman, Saskia; Singh, Rajbir; Tillman, Emma M.; Volpi, Simona; Wiisanen, Kristin; Winterstein, Almut G.; Horowitz, Carol R.; Voora, Deepak; Orlando, Lori; Chakraborty, Hrishikesh; Van Driest, Sara; Peterson, Josh F.; Cavallari, Larisa A.; Johnson, Julie A.; Dexter, Paul R.; IGNITE Pragmatic Trials Network; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Chronic pain is a prevalent condition with enormous economic burden. Opioids such as tramadol, codeine, and hydrocodone are commonly used to treat chronic pain; these drugs are activated to more potent opioid receptor agonists by the hepatic CYP2D6 enzyme. Results from clinical studies and mechanistic understandings suggest that CYP2D6-guided therapy will improve pain control and reduce adverse drug events. However, CYP2D6 is rarely used in clinical practice due in part to the demand for additional clinical trial evidence. Thus, we designed the ADOPT-PGx (A Depression and Opioid Pragmatic Trial in Pharmacogenetics) chronic pain study, a multicenter, pragmatic, randomized controlled clinical trial, to assess the effect of CYP2D6 testing on pain management. The study enrolled 1048 participants who are taking or being considered for treatment with CYP2D6-impacted opioids for their chronic pain. Participants were randomized to receive immediate or delayed (by 6 months) genotyping of CYP2D6 with clinical decision support (CDS). CDS encouraged the providers to follow the CYP2D6-guided trial recommendations. The primary study outcome is the 3-month absolute change in the composite pain intensity score assessed using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures. Follow-up will be completed in July 2024. Herein, we describe the design of this trial along with challenges encountered during enrollment.

    OBJECTIVES: This multicenter pragmatic investigation assessed outcomes following clinical implementation of CYP2C19 genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). 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.

    Opportunity for Genotype-Guided Prescribing Among Adult Patients in 11 US Health Systems.
    (Wiley, 2021-07) Hicks, J. Kevin; El Rouby, Nihal; Ong, Henry H.; Schildcrout, Jonathan S.; Ramsey, Laura B.; Shi, Yaping; Anne Tang, Leigh; Aquilante, Christina L.; Beitelshees, Amber L.; Blake, Kathryn V.; Cimino, James J.; Davis, Brittney H.; Empey, Philip E.; Kao, David P.; Lemkin, Daniel L.; Limdi, Nita A.; P Lipori, Gloria; Rosenman, Marc B.; Skaar, Todd C.; Teal, Evgenia; Tuteja, Sony; Wiley, Laura K.; Williams, Helen; Winterstein, Almut G.; Van Driest, Sara L.; Cavallari, Larisa H.; Peterson, Josh F.
    The value of utilizing a multigene pharmacogenetic panel to tailor pharmacotherapy is contingent on the prevalence of prescribed medications with an actionable pharmacogenetic association. The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) has categorized over 35 gene-drug pairs as "level A," for which there is sufficiently strong evidence to recommend that genetic information be used to guide drug prescribing. The opportunity to use genetic information to tailor pharmacotherapy among adult patients was determined by elucidating the exposure to CPIC level A drugs among 11 Implementing Genomics In Practice Network (IGNITE)-affiliated health systems across the US. Inpatient and/or outpatient electronic-prescribing data were collected between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2016 for patients ≥ 18 years of age who had at least one medical encounter that was eligible for drug prescribing in a calendar year. A median of ~ 7.2 million adult patients was available for assessment of drug prescribing per year. From 2011 to 2016, the annual estimated prevalence of exposure to at least one CPIC level A drug prescribed to unique patients ranged between 15,719 (95% confidence interval (CI): 15,658-15,781) in 2011 to 17,335 (CI: 17,283-17,386) in 2016 per 100,000 patients. The estimated annual exposure to at least 2 drugs was above 7,200 per 100,000 patients in most years of the study, reaching an apex of 7,660 (CI: 7,632-7,687) per 100,000 patients in 2014. An estimated 4,748 per 100,000 prescribing events were potentially eligible for a genotype-guided intervention. Results from this study show that a significant portion of adults treated at medical institutions across the United States is exposed to medications for which genetic information, if available, should be used to guide prescribing.

    Prescribing Prevalence of Medications With Potential Genotype-Guided Dosing in Pediatric Patients
    (American Medical Association, 2020-12) Ramsey, Laura B.; Ong, Henry H.; Schildcrout, Jonathan S.; Shi, Yaping; Tang, Leigh Anne; Hicks, J. Kevin; El Rouby, Nihal; Cavallari, Larisa H.; Tuteja, Sony; Aquilante, Christina L.; Beitelshees, Amber L.; Lemkin, Daniel L.; Blake, Kathryn V.; Williams, Helen; Cimino, James J.; Davis, Brittney H.; Limdi, Nita A.; Empey, Philip E.; Horvat, Christopher M.; Kao, David P.; Lipori, Gloria P.; Rosenman, Marc B.; Skaar, Todd C.; Teal, Evgenia; Winterstein, Almut G.; Obeng, Aniwaa Owusu; Salyakina, Daria; Gupta, Apeksha; Gruber, Joshua; McCafferty-Fernandez, Jennifer; Bishop, Jeffrey R.; Rivers, Zach; Benner, Ashley; Tamraz, Bani; Long-Boyle, Janel; Peterson, Josh F.; Van Driest, Sara L.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Importance: Genotype-guided prescribing in pediatrics could prevent adverse drug reactions and improve therapeutic response. Clinical pharmacogenetic implementation guidelines are available for many medications commonly prescribed to children. Frequencies of medication prescription and actionable genotypes (genotypes where a prescribing change may be indicated) inform the potential value of pharmacogenetic implementation. Objective: To assess potential opportunities for genotype-guided prescribing in pediatric populations among multiple health systems by examining the prevalence of prescriptions for each drug with the highest level of evidence (Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium level A) and estimating the prevalence of potential actionable prescribing decisions. Design, setting, and participants: This serial cross-sectional study of prescribing prevalences in 16 health systems included electronic health records data from pediatric inpatient and outpatient encounters from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2017. The health systems included academic medical centers with free-standing children's hospitals and community hospitals that were part of an adult health care system. Participants included approximately 2.9 million patients younger than 21 years observed per year. Data were analyzed from June 5, 2018, to April 14, 2020. Exposures: Prescription of 38 level A medications based on electronic health records. Main outcomes and measures: Annual prevalence of level A medication prescribing and estimated actionable exposures, calculated by combining estimated site-year prevalences across sites with each site weighted equally. Results: Data from approximately 2.9 million pediatric patients (median age, 8 [interquartile range, 2-16] years; 50.7% female, 62.3% White) were analyzed for a typical calendar year. The annual prescribing prevalence of at least 1 level A drug ranged from 7987 to 10 629 per 100 000 patients with increasing trends from 2011 to 2014. The most prescribed level A drug was the antiemetic ondansetron (annual prevalence of exposure, 8107 [95% CI, 8077-8137] per 100 000 children). Among commonly prescribed opioids, annual prevalence per 100 000 patients was 295 (95% CI, 273-317) for tramadol, 571 (95% CI, 557-586) for codeine, and 2116 (95% CI, 2097-2135) for oxycodone. The antidepressants citalopram, escitalopram, and amitriptyline were also commonly prescribed (annual prevalence, approximately 250 per 100 000 patients for each). Estimated prevalences of actionable exposures were highest for oxycodone and ondansetron (>300 per 100 000 patients annually). CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 substrates were more frequently prescribed than medications influenced by other genes. Conclusions and relevance: These findings suggest that opportunities for pharmacogenetic implementation among pediatric patients in the US are abundant. As expected, the greatest opportunity exists with implementing CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 pharmacogenetic guidance for commonly prescribed antiemetics, analgesics, and antidepressants.
