Pharmacogenetic Testing of Patients With Unwanted Adverse Drug Reactions or Therapy Failure

Genetic makeup of a patient influences the efficacy and safety profile of a drug. This study is to summarize individual cases, where Pharmacogenetics (PGx) has been applied during pharmaceutical care. The primary objective is the compilation of case reports, where pharmacogenetic testing is applied to determine the hereditable component of the patient's susceptibility to experience therapy failure and/or adverse drug reactions. The experience with the compiled cases will be basis for the development of a reliable standard of procedure for pharmacogenetic testing in the community pharmacy. The cases will be supplemented with information on additional Parameters reported in the literature to affect efficacy or safety of the respective drug.

A Global Registry On Second gEneration and Long-acting inTegrase inhibiTor fAilures

Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI) inhibit HIV replication by preventing the integration of viral HIV DNA into the host's genome. INSTIs are used as part of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) regimens for both treatment-naive and treatment experienced patients. In clinical practice, virological failure to second generation INSTIs is rare and often without selection of known resistance mutations. Considering the use of INSTIs in first line regimens in high income countries and the increasing roll-out in lower and middle income countries, a better understanding of relevant resistance development and clinical failure is urgently needed. The ROSETTA registry aims at systematically collecting otherwise scattered information on individual cases failing second generation integrase inhibitors, with the goal to inform policy and future use of INSTIs in the treatment of people living with HIV. Attending physicians of individuals who are experiencing virological failure on a second generation integrase inhibitor-containing regimen are invited to contribute data to the registry.
