Clinical Trial Summary

Genetic makeup of a patient influences the efficacy and safety profile of a drug. This study is to summarize individual cases, where Pharmacogenetics (PGx) has been applied during pharmaceutical care. The primary objective is the compilation of case reports, where pharmacogenetic testing is applied to determine the hereditable component of the patient's susceptibility to experience therapy failure and/or adverse drug reactions. The experience with the compiled cases will be basis for the development of a reliable standard of procedure for pharmacogenetic testing in the community pharmacy. The cases will be supplemented with information on additional Parameters reported in the literature to affect efficacy or safety of the respective drug.

Description:

Genetic makeup of a patient influences the efficacy and safety profile of a drug. This study is to summarize individual cases, where Pharmacogenetics (PGx) has been applied during pharmaceutical care. Health-related data of patients experiencing therapy failure (TF) or adverse drug reaction (ADR) is collected and will then be supplemented with pharmacogenetic testing during pharmaceutical care in a study pharmacy. The patient data (diagnoses, medications and results of pharmacogenetic testing) is harmonized in order to generate a compilation of case reports. The primary objective is the compilation of case reports, where pharmacogenetic testing is applied to determine the hereditable component of the patient's susceptibility to experience therapy failure and/or adverse drug reactions. The experience with the compiled cases will be basis for the development of a reliable standard of procedure for pharmacogenetic testing in the community pharmacy. The cases will be supplemented with information on additional Parameters reported in the literature to affect efficacy or safety of the respective drug.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Adverse Drug Reaction
• Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions
• Therapy Failure

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
• Buccal swab
Pharmacogenetic panel testing is conducted by Stratipharm with the DNA of the buccal swab. TaqMan® polymerase chain reaction is proceeded to express the genetic information. Stratipharm is a product offered by Humatrix Aktiengesellschaft (AG). It consists of a laboratory analysis of approximately 100 pharmacological relevant genetic variations (polymorphisms) in over 30 different genes, which code for transport proteins, metabolizing enzymes, or drug targets.
• EDTA Blood sample (4.9mL)
Genetic testing of potentially relevant genetic variants using the DNA extracted from the EDTA blood sample.
• Serum sample (7.5mL)
blood sample to determine the actual levels of the compound in patients on medication assumed to be associated to an observed ADR (phenotype).

Other:
• communication of test results
Certified study pharmacist evaluates and communicates clinically relevant test results to the subject and to the responsible physician
• unstructured interview
One and six months after the communication of test results, the study center will make a phone call to the patient for an unstructured interview in order to gather information about potential outcomes
