Clinical use of pharmacogenetics and
pharmacokinetics in opioids therapy
To
offer retrospective insights
to explain
individual variability in response
(inefficacy/toxicity)
-> Measure of the phenotype
To pre-emptively
guide the choice of the opioid
:
-> pro-drugs and CYP2D6 activity
-> opioids and CYP3A interactions
-> support opioid rotation
Perspectives
Growing amount of pharmacogenetic data affecting the
PK of opioids available but some is scarce or ambiguous
(UGT, transporters)
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) to overcome
limitations of candidate gene association studies
Multigenic approaches to assess the interplay between
genes
(combined effects of SNPs of PK and PD targets)
Prospective highly powered studies in well-defined
phenotypic populations and adjustment for non genetic
confounders
(co-medications, environmental factors)
