Talk
Translating Pharmacogenomic Variation To Clinical Implementation
This talk will identify currently available resources to support clinical pharmacogenomic testing, with an emphasis on reviewing innovative technologies that interrogate germline variation implicated in drug response variability and translating those test results into clinical practice.


 Session Abstract – PMWC 2020 Silicon Valley

Track 3 - January 24 9.30 A.M.-1.45 P.M.


Pharmacists have long recognized that using unique patient characteristics to guide pharmacotherapy decision-making can improve drug response and mitigate drug-associated risks. Age, weight, and dietary habits were among the first patient-specific characteristics used to individualize pharmacotherapy. As technologies advanced, analytic tools that measure surrogate markers of liver and renal function, together with drug concentrations in biological fluids, were adopted to optimize therapeutic regimens. Cutting-edge genomic technologies are now being integrated into patient care for the selection of targeted therapies and identification of those at increased risk of poor pharmacotherapy outcomes. Precision Pharmacotherapy is combining genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and other unique patient or disease characteristics to guide drug selection and dosage. This session will introduce the concept and give many examples of how precision pharmacotherapy is used in specialties such as pediatrics, psychology, cardiology and oncology to guide prescribing.
