e24114 Background: Pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing is used increasingly in cancer supportive care for drug and dose selection, and side effects prediction with antidepressants, antiemetics, and pain medications. Genetic variants in genes that encode for drug metabolizing enzymes (CYPs), transporters (SLC6A4) and drug receptors (HTR2A, OPRM1, etc) are well known for these medications. They contribute to inter-individual differences in medication safety and efficacy. We report on their frequency and effect on supportive care drugs in patients with solid tumors. Methods: Between 06/06/19 and 12/18/19, solid tumor cancer patients at Mayo Clinic Arizona were enrolled in a PGx prospective study. They were genotyped using a multi-gene panel, OneOme RightMed. The panel assessed 27 genes, including CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, COMT, OPRM1, GRIK4, HTR2A, SLC6A4, associated with pain medications, antidepressants, and antiemetics. PGx pharmacist provided medication recommendations and dose adjustments based on PGx test results and concurrent medications. Results: 200 patients were swabbed and 196 patients were genotyped. The results were available within 5 days. All patients were also assessed for pheno-conversion (drug-drug-gene interactions) by a pharmacist. Recommendations were made based on predicted phenotype. Various solid tumor types were represented, including prostate (19.9%), colorectal (17.9%), melanoma (14.8%), and others (47.4%). Median age was 65 with 59.2% patients being male and 40.85% female. All had at least one actionable polymorphism related to these medications. The most significant findings were related to CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 genes. Of 196 patients, a total of 132 (67.3%) had other than normal CYP2D6 metabolizer phenotype and 112 (57.1%) had other than normal CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotype. Based on these genotypes, alternatives to pain medications were recommended for 37 patients, to ondansetron in 9 patients, and to anti-depressants in 51 patients. Conclusions: Genetic variants were commonly found that affect supportive care medications used in oncology practice and contribute to inter-individual differences associated with increased risk of adverse drug effects and reduced efficacy. PGx guided recommendation may help physicians in individualizing medication treatment outcomes for patients with different cancer types and with polypharmacy. PGx trained pharmacist can serve as a valuable asset in optimizing personalized medication management.

Introduction: Pharmacogenomics is about selecting the “right drug in the right amount for the right patient.” In metastatic colorectal cancer, germline pharmacogenomics testing presents a unique opportunity to improve outcomes, since the genes dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase metabolizing the chemotherapy drugs, 5-fluorouracil, and irinotecan are already well known. In a retrospective analysis of the landmark TRIBE clinical trial [(TRIBE - TRIplet plus BEvacizumab multicenter, phase III trial by the Italian Cooperative GONO (Gruppo Oncologico Nord Ovest) group (NCT00719797)], the proportion of patients with serious adverse events was higher in those with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase/UDP-glucuronosyltransferase aberrations and was dose dependent. We aimed to report on the feasibility and the results of incorporating pharmacogenomics testing into clinical practice. Methods: As a quality improvement initiative and a center of individualized medicine grant, we integrated the use of OneOme RightMed comprehensive test, which reports on 27 genes related to pharmacogenomics and over 300 medications of interest. We limited initial testing to patients with colorectal cancer. Pharmacists provided dosage recommendations based on test results in real-time. Results: At our cancer center, 155 patients underwent pharmacogenomics testing from November 2017 to January 2019. Results were available within 3 to 5 days of testing for most patients and were integrated into treatment decision-making. Of 155 sampled participants, a total of 89 (57.4%) participants had an UGT1A1 variant genotype, NM_000463.2: c.-53_-52[8] *1/*28, n = 74 (47.7%); *28/*28, n = 15 (9.7%). Additionally, 4 (2.6%) participants were heterozygous for dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase. Two (1.3%) individuals were heterozygous for both UDP-glucuronosyltransferase and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase genes. All (100%) the patients had at least 1 actionable aberration related to supportive care medications ( CYP-family) of all the possible medications listed on their pharmacogenomics report. Conclusion: Preemptive comprehensive pharmacogenomics testing can be integrated into clinical practice in real-time for patients with cancer given faster turnaround and low cost. Pharmacist-driven, patient-specific medication management consults add further value given the number of genes/drugs. This sets the stage for a prospective randomized clinical trial to demonstrate the amount of benefit this can result in these patients.

703 Background: In metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing presents a unique opportunity to improve outcomes since the genes DPYD & UGT1A1 encoding the enzymes metabolizing the chemotherapy drugs, 5-fluorouracil and irinotecan, are already well known. In the TRIBE clinical trial, proportion of patients with serious adverse events (SAEs) was higher in those with DPYD/UGT1A1 aberrations and were dose dependent. Critical barrier has been integration into clinical practice. We aimed to report on the feasibility and results of incorporating PGx testing into clinical practice. Methods: As a quality improvement initiative, we integrated the use of OneOme RightMed comprehensive test through funding from our center of individualized medicine, which reports on 28 genes and over 350 medications of interest. Pharmacists provided dosage recommendations based on test results real-time. Results: 126 patients have had the PGx testing since November 2017. Results have been available within 3-5 days. The table outlines the analyzed results thus far of variants in UGT1A1 and the DPYD-genes alongside the CYP450 genes. Of these, 59% had a DPYD/UGT1A1 aberration and 100% had at least one actionable aberration related to supportive care medications from all possible medications listed on their PGx report. Conclusions: Preemptive comprehensive PGx testing can be integrated into clinical practice in real-time for cancer patients. This sets the stage for a prospective randomized clinical trial to demonstrate the amount of benefit this can result in these patients. [Table: see text]
