Individual variability in drug response
can have serious consequences
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS)
Adverse Drug Reaction
The Ideal Medication
Effectively treats or
prevents disease
Has no adverse effects
Paradox of Modern Drug Development
1. Clinical trials provide evidence of efficacy
and safety at usual doses in populations
+
=
Efficacious & Safe
2. Physicians treat individual patients who can
vary widely in their response to drug therapy
No Response

Efficacious & Safe
Adverse Drug Reaction
Adverse Drug Reactions
• 4-6th leading cause of death in the USA1
• Health care costs: $137-177 billion annually (USA)2-3
• Cause 7% of all hospital admissions4
• Cause serious reactions in over 2,000,000 hospitalized
patients (6.7%) each year in the USA1
• Cause fatal reactions in over 100,000 hospitalized patients
each year in the USA1
• 50% of newly approved therapeutic health products have
serious ADRs, discovered only after the product is on the
market (Health Canada, 2007)
• 95% of all ADRs are unreported

CYP2D6 Pharmacogenetics
 CYP2D6 activity displays bimodal distribution
in Caucasian subjects
 5-10% of Caucasian population deficient in
CYP2D6 activity
 “Poor metabolizers” or “PMs” have two
“inactive” forms (alleles) of the CYP2D6 gene
 PMs at increased risk for concentration-
dependent side effects with “normal” drug
doses
 Some drugs may not work (codeine; tramadol)

Explanation:
 medication mother due to episiotomy pain:
codeine 60 mg plus paracetamol 1000 mg every 12 hrs for
2 weeks
 Morphine concentration in stored milk: 87 ng/mL
 mother: CYP2D6 genotype: CYP2D6*2x2 gene duplication
= Ultra rapid metabolizer phenotype
Prior to this publication!
The American Academy of Pediatrics and
“Drugs in Pregnancy in Lactation”, the major
reference guide to fetal and neonatal risk, list
codeine as compatible with breastfeeding
– Briggs et al., 2005; Pediatrics, 2001
Estimated 1846 newborn infants are at risk for
this codeine ADR annually in Canada
(340,000 births, 73% breastfed, 52% mothers receive codeine post-childbirth,1.4% risk genotype)

Opioids and pharmacogenomics
Why personalizing opioid therapy?
• Wide unpredictable interpatient variability
• Narrow therapeutic indices  Inadequate pain relief and side effects ~ 50%
• Genetic factors: up to 60% (Angst 2012)
Sadhasivam et al. (2012)
Candidate genes
1. 410 pain genes
2. <10% translated to human pain
3. Opioid + genetic ≈ 2000 hits
Division of genes
• Pharmacokinetic: affect the availability at the site of action
Phase I and II enzymes, transporters etc.
• Pharmacodynamic: target and downstream signaling cascade
Mu-opioid receptor, inwardly rectifying potassium channel etc
• Pain sensitivity: susceptibility to pain
Sodium channel, interleukines etc.
PK RELATED GENES
Metabolism fentanyl
CYP3A4 Gene
• Important drug metabolizing enzyme
Highly expressed in liver and intestine
broad substrate specificity (app. 50%)
• Identified SNPs
22 alleles identified (CYPallele homepage)
Rare or lack phenotypic effect
• Caucasian
*1G and *22 allele
CYP3A4 SNPs
CYP3A4*1G  reduced activity  higher plasma levels
 Less fentanyl required
 More side effects
Studies
Dong (2012),Yuan (2011) and Zhang (2010): Lower fentanyl requirement postoperative
CYP3A4*22
Yuan (2011) correlation between plasma levels and requirement (r=-0.552, p<0.001)
However, not associated with AEs and Pain score
PD RELATED GENES
OPRM1 and Fentanyl
118A>G
• Higher fentanyl requirement (Zhang 2011)
• Higher VAS pain score (Wu 2009)
118A>G relevant?
Liao 2013: N=97, post-operative pain, fentanyl
requirement+AEs
CYP3A4*18 >> A118G
304A>G
Lower fentanyl requirement (Landau 2009)
Association with morphine requirement not found
(Wong 2010)
OPRM1 related genes
Stat6
PAIN SENSITIVITY GENES
Pain sensitivity genes
Action potential
• SCN9A
Α-subunit Nav1.7 channel, nociceptive neurons
R1150W  increased sensitivity to pain (Reimann
2010)
• KCNS1
Voltage gated K channel (Kv 9.1), sensory neurons
1465A>G  increased sensitivity to pain (Costigan
2010)
NICU study
• n=132
• Mechanical ventilation (PNA<3 days)
• 2 level III NICUs
• Continous morphine vs placebo during max. 7 days
• Loading dose 100 µg/kg  10 µg/kg/hr
• Additional morphine (50 µg/kg  5-10 µg/kg/hr)
Objective
Determine if polymorphisms in PD related genes (OPRM1
118A>G, COMT Val158Met, ARRB2 8622C>T) are
associated with additional morphine requirement (AMR) in
newborns.

Pharmacogenomics
Avoid adverse drug reactions
Maximize drug efficacy for individual patients
Pharmacogenetic Profile:
All Patients with
Same Diagnosis
High risk of ADR (50%):
treat with alternative
drug or dose
Moderate risk of ADR (12.5%):
treat with alternative
drug or dose
10% risk of
adverse reaction
Low risk of ADR (0%):
treat with conventional dose
What do we need to do!
All children are at risk for ADRs, but not all
children are at equal risk.
Find the kids at highest risk for serious
ADRs due to genetic factors
• Identify children with ADRs
• Identify ‘matched’ children on same medications,
without ADRs
• Whenever possible, DNA samples are collected
from biological parents of ADR patients
• Look for genetic variation in key drug ADME
enzymes
• Develop new dosing guidelines
• Bedside-benchtop-bedside science
WE CAN’T TREAT CHILDREN LIKE ADULTS
Increased Risk of Severe
ADRs in Children
>75% of approved drugs used
in children are untested in
pediatric populations
Young children cannot
evaluate or express their own
response to medications
Pediatric dosage forms not
available
Children metabolize and
transport drugs differently
than adults
