Advancement of PGx Testing: Development of Evidence-based Guidelines and the Ongoing Effort to Drive Alignment with Regulatory Bodies

Recorded on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022 | AMP 2022

CPIC Co-PI and Director Dr. Kelly Caudle has been at the forefront of the changing landscape of pharmacogenomic testing. As the rapidly evolving science and supporting evidence have outpaced regulatory guidance, the medical community has looked to thought-leading organizations such as CPIC to translate the evidence of drug-gene interactions into actionable guidelines for care providers. In this workshop, Dr. Caudle will discuss the process and considerations behind CPIC guideline development and their ongoing work to continually evolve the list of drug-gene interactions recognized by the FDA. Attendees will gain insights into evidence-based guidelines and other resources to consider when developing and maintaining pharmacogenetic testing panels.

Kelly E. Caudle, Pharm.D., Ph.D., BCPS is the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) Principal Investigator and Director. CPIC provides guidelines that enable the translation of genetic laboratory test results into actionable prescribing decisions for specific drugs. To date, CPIC has published 26 gene-based clinical guidelines. Dr. Caudle oversees all CPIC-related projects and the CPIC guideline development process including the coordination of the guideline writing committees, the guideline evidence reviews, and the writing of the guideline manuscript and supplement. Furthermore, Dr. Caudle is involved in the clinical implementation of pharmacogenetics at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
 
Dr. Caudle received her Pharm.D. and Ph.D. from The University of Tennessee Health Science Center and completed an ASHP-accredited PGY2 residency at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. She is also a board‐certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist. Dr. Caudle is currently an affiliate Assistant Professor at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

The more touchpoints along a specimen's journey increase the chance for errors, especially with NGS workflow. Our sample identification solutions use single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) detection to provide a unique genetic fingerprint for each sample throughout the testing journey.
