General information

Selecting medicine

The practice of medicine has always been about treating each patient individually, and clinicians have long observed that patients may respond differently to medication.

The task of getting the right treatment for a patient has been quite challenging – see below: “The estimated percentage of non-responders”.

However, developments in science and technology have made it possible to select the right treatment using a gene based decision support tool to predict which specific medical treatment a patient should have.

The science of pharmacogenomics is the study of the effect of our genetic variation on our response to a drug. The technology combines the science of drugs and genomics (the study og genes and functions) and is capturing how to personalize and improve medical treatment.

Personal Medicine™ Profile is such a decision support tool helping customers and doctors selecting and adjusting medical treatment.

“The right medication for the right person, in the right dose”

Regulatory

The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) of the US FDA has supported the use of pharmacogenomics for more than a decade by providing regulatory advice, renewing applications and developing policies and processes focused on genomics and individualized therapeutics.

In February 2020, the FDA published a list of 107 active drug constituents with “actional guidelines” recommending a pharmacogenomic test due to the frequent polymorphism in essential genes.

The European Medicines Agency supports the use of Personalized Medicine and requires pharmacogenomic data when new medicines are registered. However, their recommendations of pharmacogenomic testing related to drug treatment are reluctant.

For example, the prescription of fluorouracil for oncology patients is covered by an EMA recommendation: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/referrals/fluorouracil-fluorouracil-related-substances-capecitabine-tegafur-flucytosine-containing-medicinal

In summary, the US and European authorities support the use of pharmacogenomic testing to some extent before prescribing particular medicines where genetic polymorphism plays an important role.
