table 1: selected Personalized Medicine drugs, treatments, and diagnostics as of March 2009* BIOMARKER/TEST
INDICATION
Herceptin® (trastuzumab)
her-2/neu receptor Breast cancer: “…for the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer whose tumors over-
Tykerb® (lapatinib)
express the her2 protein and who have received one or more chemotherapy regimens for their metastatic disease.” Pharmaceutical and surgical BRCA 1,2
Breast cancer: Guides surveillance and preventive treatment based on susceptibility risk for breast
prevention options and
surveillance
Tamoxifen

aviara Breast cancer Breast cancer: calculates a combined risk analysis for recurrence after tamoxifen treatment for
indexsM (HOXB13,
er-positive, node-negative breast cancer.
Chemotherapy
Breast cancer: Prognostic immunohistochemistry (ihc) test used for postmenopausal, node
negative, estrogen receptor expressing breast cancer patients who will receive hormonal therapy
and are considering adjuvant chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy
Breast cancer: assesses risk of distant metastasis in a 70 gene expression profile.
Coumadin® (warfarin)
Cardiovascular disease: “an increased bleeding risk for patients carrying either the CYP2C9*2 or
CYP2C9*3 alleles.”
Coumadin® (warfarin)
Cardiovascular disease: “certain single nucleotide polymorphisms in the VKORC1 gene (espe-
cially the -1639G>a allele) have been associated with lower dose requirements for warfarin.”
Coumadin® (warfarin)
Cardiovascular disease: determines CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes to predict likelihood of
adverse events with warfarin therapy.
Coumadin® (warfarin)
Cardiovascular disease: hereditary or acquired deficiencies of protein c or its cofactor, protein s,
has been associated with tissue necrosis following warfarin administration.
Pharmaceutical and lifestyle Familion® 5-gene
Cardiovascular disease: Guides prevention and drug selection for patients with inherited cardiac
prevention options
channelopathies such as long Qt syndrome (lQts), which can lead to cardiac rhythm abnormalities.
Cardiovascular disease: Predicts risk of statin-induced neuro-myopathy, based on a patient’s
combinatorial genotype for 50 genes.
Atorvastatin
Cardiovascular disease: “doses should be individualized according to the recommended goal of
therapy. homozygous Familial hypercholestremia (10-80mg/day)and heterozygous (10-20mg/
day).”
Camptosar® (irinotecan)
Colon cancer: “variations in the UGT1A1 gene can influence a patient’s ability to break down
irinotecan, which can lead to increased blood levels of the drug and a higher risk of side effects.”
Erbitux® (cetuximab)
Colon cancer: “Patients enrolled in the clinical studies were required to have…evidence of posi-
Gefitinib
tive EGFR expression using the dakocytomation EGFR pharmdx™ test kit.” EGFR positive Vectibix® (panitumab)
individuals are more likely to respond to the drug than those with reduced EGFR expression.
Erbitux® (cetuximab)
Colon cancer: certain KRAS mutations lead to unresponsiveness to the drug.
Gefitinib
Vectibix® (panitumab)
Erbitux® (cetuximab) and

Colon cancer: Provides information of the expression of key molecular targets—KRAS, TS, and
Vectibix® (panitumab)
Fluorouracil
Camptosar® (irinotecan)
Tagretol (carbamazepine)

Epilepsy and bipolar disorder: serious dermatologic reactions are associated with the HLA-
B*1502
allele in patients treated with carbamazepine. “Prior to initiating tegretol therapy, testing
for HLA-B*1502 should be performed in patients with ancestry in populations in which HLA-
B*1502
may be present.”
Immunosuppressive drugs
Heart transplantation: Monitors patient’s immune response to heart transplant to guide immu-
Ziagen® (abacavir)
HIV: “Patients who carry the HLA-B*5701 allele are at high risk for experiencing a hypersensitiv-
ity reaction to abacavir. Prior to initiating therapy with abacavir, screening for the HLA-B*5701
allele is recommended.”
HIV: “selzentry, in combination with other antiretroviral agents, is indicated for treatment experi-
enced adult patients infected with only ccr5-tropic hiv-1 detectable.”
18 The Case for Personalized Medicine
Personalized Medicine Coalition. The Case for Personalized Medicine. May 2009.
Inflammatory bowel disease: identifies subset of patients who will benefit from budesonide.
Leukemia: “Gleevec® (imatinib mesylate) is indicated for the treatment of newly diagnosed adult
and pediatric patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive [indicated by presence of BCR-
ABL
] chronic myeloid leukemia (cMl) in chronic phase.”
Leukemia: “dasatinib is indicated for the treatment of adults with Philadelphia chromosome-
positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ all) with resistance or intolerance to prior therapy” Leukemia: “Busulfan is clearly less effective in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia who
lack the Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome.” Leukemia: Guides adjustment of dose in treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia: “Patients
with inherited little or no thiopurine s-methyltransferase (tPMt) activity are at increased risk for severe Purinethol toxicity from conventional doses…” Lung cancer: the test determines patients most likely to respond.
Multiple cancers: “rarely, unexpected severe toxicity (e.g., stomatitis, diarrhea, neutropenia and
neurotoxicity) associated with 5-fluorouracil has been attributed to a deficiency of dihydropyrimi-
dine dehydrogenase (dPd) activity.”
Multiple cancers: Guides surveillance and preventive treatment based on susceptibility risk for
Multiple cancers: determines cancer classification for tumors of unknown primary origin.
aviara cancertyPe Multiple cancers: classifies 39 tumor types from tumors of unknown primary origin, using a
id®
Multiple cancers: “rasburicase administered to patients with glucose- phosphate dehydrogenase
(G6Pd) deficiency can cause severe hemolysis. … it is recommended that patients at higher risk
for G6Pd deficiency … be screened prior to starting eliteK therapy.”
Multiple diseases: Fda classification 21 cFr 862.3360: “this device is used as an aid in deter-
mining treatment choice and individualizing treatment dose for therapeutics that are metabolized primarily by the specific enzyme about which the system provides genotypic information.” 2C19: celecoxib, codeine, diaz-
epam, esomeprazole, nelfinavir,
omeprazole, Pantoprazole, rabepra-
zole, voriconazole
2D6: acetaminophen, aripiprazole,
atomoxetine, carvedilol, cevimeline
hydrochloride, clozapine, Fluoxetine
hcl, Fluoxetine hcl and olan-
zapine, Metoprolol, Propranolol,
Propafenone, Protriptyline hcl,
risperidone, tamoxifen, terbinafine,
thioridazine, timolol maleate,
tiotropium bromide inhalation, tolt-
erodine, tramadol, venlafaxine
Multiple diseases: n-acetyltransferase slow and fast acetylators and toxicity- “slow acetylation
may lead to higher blood levels of the drug, and thus, an increase in toxic reactions.” Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma: detects cd-20 variant (polymorphism in the igG Fc receptor gene
FcgRIIIa) to predict response to cancer drug rituximab.
Pain: “Patients who are known or suspected to be P450 2c9 poor metabolizers based on a previ-
ous history should be administered celecoxib with caution as they may have abnormally high
plasma levels due to reduced metabolic clearance.”
Psychiatric disorders: Predicts risk of psychotropic-induced metabolic syndrome, based on a
patient’s combinatorial genotype for 50 genes.
Stomach cancer: “Gleevec® is also indicated for the treatment of patients with Kit (CD117) posi-
tive unresectable and/or metastatic malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (Gist).”
