| Synopsis: |
The term 'pharmacogenetics' refers to the use of information on inherited genetic differences in the response to drugs in drug development research programmes. Increasingly, sponsors of new drugs are integrating pharmacogenetics in their drug development programmes, and the likely outcome of this integration will present challenges to traditional drug development, regulatory evaluation of safety and efficacy and clinical use of drugs. This report, produced through discussions with scientists from drug regulatory authorities, pharmaceutical companies and academia considers many of the ethical, legal and pharmacoeconomic issues arising from these developments. |
