Abstract
Purpose:
The aim of this study was to compare guidance for genetic testing in US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug labels in oncology to those of drugs for other therapeutic areas.
Methods:
We reviewed labels of all the FDA-approved drugs with labels containing pharmacogenomic information. We assessed whether genetic testing was required or recommended before prescription and, if not, the reason for pharmacogenomic labeling.
Results:
We included 140 drugs corresponding to 158 drug–biomarker pairs. Overall, 46 (29%) of 158 pairs stated a requirement or recommendation for genetic biomarker testing in the label. This proportion was higher in oncology than in other areas (62 vs. 12%; P < 0.001). For the 112 drug–biomarker pairs (including 20 in oncology) without recommendation or requirement for genetic testing, the main reasons for pharmacogenomic labeling were change in pharmacologic end points (32%) and higher risk of toxicity (30%). For 11 (10%) pairs (including 1 in oncology), a genetic biomarker was mentioned only to inform that it was not relevant. In oncology, the main reasons for pharmacogenomic labeling were higher risk of toxicity (55%) and definition of the mechanism of action (25%).
Conclusion:
Inclusion of biomarkers in drug labels does not always correspond to required or recommended genetic testing, especially outside oncology.
