Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

6.2K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Pharmacogenomics: Identification of New Drug Targets

27
Advances in genomics have profoundly influenced drug discovery by increasing both the speed and accuracy of pharmaceutical development. Pharmacogenomics, which examines how genetic variation influences drug response, facilitates the identification of novel therapeutic targets and enables patient stratification for personalized treatment. These strategies contribute to improved drug efficacy, minimized adverse effects, and more efficient clinical trial design.Mapping genetic differences...

Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics: Overview

35
Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics examine how genetic factors influence an individual's response to drugs. While pharmacogenetics focuses on the impact of specific genetic variants on drug effects, pharmacogenomics takes a broader approach, studying how genetic variation across populations contributes to differences in drug responses. These fields aim to explain why individuals may experience varying levels of efficacy or adverse reactions to the same medication.Variability in drug...

Pharmacogenetic Phenotypes: Alterations in Pharmacokinetics, Drug Targets and Biologic Milieu

20
Genetic variations significantly influence drug response through pharmacokinetics, receptor interactions, and biologic milieu modifications. Pharmacokinetic alterations impact drug metabolism and clearance, affecting efficacy and toxicity. Variants in drug-metabolizing enzymes, such as CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, alter drug activation and elimination. For example, CYP2C9 loss-of-function variants require lower warfarin doses to prevent excessive bleeding, while CYP2C19 variants reduce clopidogrel...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Sciences
  • Genomics
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • The term "precision medicine" is widely used but lacks a clear, comprehensive definition.
  • Existing definitions often focus on patient stratification using large-scale data, but raise further questions.
  • Distinctions between precision medicine, stratified medicine, targeted therapy, and deep phenotyping remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a more comprehensive definition of precision medicine.
  • To clarify the process-oriented nature of precision medicine.
  • To integrate related terms within a unified framework.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of existing definitions.
  • Comparative analysis of related terminology.
  • Development of a process-based framework for precision medicine.

Main Results:

  • Precision medicine is defined as a process, not just an endpoint.
  • The framework incorporates patient stratification and novel taxonomies.
  • The proposed definition clarifies the relationship between precision medicine and related concepts.

Conclusions:

  • A process-based definition offers a more complete understanding of precision medicine.
  • This framework helps delineate precision medicine from stratified medicine and other terms.
  • Clarifying the definition facilitates better application and understanding of precision medicine in healthcare.
