ABCG2 (BCRP, ATP-binding cassette)

Involved in intrinsic or acquired multidrug
resistance (MDR) phenotype of tumor cells

ABCG2 encodes a half transporter

Located on chromosome 4q-22

66 kb; 16 exons; 15 introns

69 Known genetic polymorphisms including 65
SNPs; 13 SNPs in exons; 7 SNPs cause amino acid
substitutions
Location of ABCG2 C421A and its functional
consequences
Non-synonymous ABCG2
Q141K SNP: substituted
amino acid residue
- The 421C to A transition at exon 5
leads to a Lys to Gln amino acid
substitution at codon 141 (Q141K)
- Functional studies suggest that the
C421A polymorphism has:
1. Reduced topotecan transport
2. Reduced protein expression in vitro
3. A 3-fold higher diflomotecan AUC
after i.v. administration


PGx: CYP2C9 and VORC1
Expert Committee Recommendation to FDA
Consider PGx testing, but needs further study
 Multiple studies currently ongoing, main U.S. study
funded by NIH
 Medicare announced May 4 that it will not pay for
genetic testing at this time


Will pay for genetic testing in clinical trials
PGx and Clopidogrel (Plavix)

Thienopyridine inhibitor of platelet P2Y12 ADP

Prodrug, requires activitation by CYP450
enzyme(s) and also inactivated by CYP450
enzyme(s) and other esterases

Much variability between patients in terms of
pK and PD (platelet aggregation)
PGx and Clopidogrel (Plavix)

Mega et al (NEJM Jan 22, 2009):

CYP2C19:


healthy volunteers pK (n=162)
Cardiac patients on TRITON-TIMI study (n=1477)
32% reduction in active drug plasma levels
53% increase risk of death from CV causes, MI, or stroke
(12.1% vs 8.0%, HR 1.53)
Three-fold increased risk of stent thrombosis (2.6% v. 0.8%)
Caveat: research paid for by Eli Lilly and Daiichi Sankyo since
study was of prasugrel vs clopidogrel
FDA currently evaluating evidence to consider
requiring PGx testing before starting clopidogrel
Irinotecan (CPT-11)






Topoisomerase I inhibitor
Metabolized to active compound SN-38
Used in colon cancer
DLT – diarrhea
SN-38 inactivated by UGT1A1 glucoronidation
Polymorphism in UGT1A1 (UGT1A1*28) leads
to diminished inactivation, higher drug levels,
and higher toxicity

New label for Irinotecan, July 2005:
FDA approved test in December, 2005

Beta Receptor and HTN/CHF




Beta blockers – well named
ADRB1 and ADRB2
In ADRB1, 2 common functional polymorphisms
(Ser49Gly and Gly389Arg).
In HTN, pts treated with Metoprolol, Gly389:

WT/WT: 10.4% drop in SBP

WT/Variant: 2.8%

Variant/Variant: 1.1%

Similar differences found in HR and SBP at rest and with exercise
In CHF, WT patients need more medications/dosages

Pharmacogenomics and FDA
“Pharmacogenomics holds great promise to shed
scientific light on the often risky and costly process of
drug development, and to provide greater confidence
about the risks and benefits of drugs in specific
populations. Pharmacogenomics is a new field, but we
intend to do all we can to use it to promote the
development of medicines.”
-Mark McClennan, M.D.
