The Next Phase of Pharmacogenomics & the Pharmacist | PGX for Pharmacists

Becky Winslow, PharmD & Pharmacy Student Kaitlyn Marshall re-launch the PGX for Pharmacists. 23andMe announced in August of 2020 that it has received a 510(k) clearance from the FDA that allows its direct-to-consumer personal pharmacogenetics report to guide use of two treatments without the need for confirmatory testing. This action updates a De Novo approval granted to the consumer genomics company in late 2018. That decision allowed 23andMe to market a test for one of 33 variants across multiple genes that could impact metabolization of certain medication, but came with a handful of "special controls." Among these were labeling requirements that warned consumers not to use the product for any medication decisions without additional independent testing.
