Harnessing Pharmacogenomics in Clinical Research on Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy.

Psychedelics have recently re-emerged as potential treatments for various psychiatric conditions that impose major public health costs and for which current treatment options have limited efficacy. At the same time, personalized medicine is increasingly being implemented in psychiatry to provide individualized drug dosing recommendations based on genetics. This review brings together these topics to explore the utility of pharmacogenomics (a key component of personalized medicine) in psychedelic-assisted therapies.

Evaluating the evidence for genotype-informed Bayesian dosing of tacrolimus in children undergoing solid organ transplantation: A systematic literature review.

Tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor, is a highly effective immunosuppressant used in solid organ transplantation (SOT). However, it is characterized by a narrow therapeutic range and high inter-patient variability in pharmacokinetics. Standard weight-based dosing followed by empiric dose titration is suboptimal in controlling drug concentrations, increasing risk of rejection or toxicity, particularly in the initial months post transplantation.

Minimising Adverse Drug Reactions and Verifying Economic Legitimacy-Pharmacogenomics Implementation in Children (MARVEL- PIC): protocol for a national randomised controlled trial of pharmacogenomics implementation.

Introduction: DNA-informed prescribing (termed pharmacogenomics, PGx) is the epitome of personalised medicine. Despite international guidelines existing, its implementation in paediatric oncology remains sparse.

Methods And Analysis: Minimising Adverse Drug Reactions and Verifying Economic Legitimacy-Pharmacogenomics Implementation in Children is a national prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled trial assessing the impact of pre-emptive PGx testing for actionable PGx variants on adverse drug reaction (ADR) incidence in patients with a new cancer diagnosis or proceeding to haematopoetic stem cell transplant.
