Abstract
Purpose of review: This review summarizes recent literature for applying pharmacogenomics to antifungal selection and dosing, providing an approach to implementing antifungal pharmacogenomics in clinical practice.
Recent findings: The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium published guidelines on CYP2C19 and voriconazole, with recommendations to use alternative antifungals or adjust voriconazole dose with close therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Recent studies demonstrate an association between CYP2C19 phenotype and voriconazole levels, clinical outcomes, and adverse events. Additionally, CYP2C19-guided preemptive dose adjustment demonstrated benefit in two prospective studies for prophylaxis. Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling studies have generated proposed voriconazole treatment doses based on CYP2C19 phenotypes, with further validation studies needed.
Summary: Sufficient evidence is available for implementing CYP2C19-guided voriconazole selection and dosing among select patients at risk for invasive fungal infections. The institution needs appropriate infrastructure for pharmacogenomic testing, integration of results in the clinical decision process, with TDM confirmation of goal trough achievement, to integrate antifungal pharmacogenomics into routine clinical care.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of fungal infections. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as advances in diagnosis, current and emerging management approaches, and genomics and pathogenesis. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided, and an international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
