Safety PGx: Opportunities• Associate genetic variation with drug inducedadverse events• Provide the means to classify patients’ risk ofdrug induced adverse events• Enable exclusion of ‘at risk’ patients fromsubsequent studies• Enable dose adjustment to reduce exposuredrivenAEs in ‘poor metaboliser’ patients• Potential markers require full evaluation ofperformance characteristics in broad studypopulation to ensure suitability for safetymanagement

Abacavir and Hypersensitivity (HSR)• Abacavir is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor fortreatment of HIV infection• Active agent in Ziagen, Trizivir, and Epzicom/Kivexa• Approximately 5% of patients receiving abacavir develophypersensitivity reaction (HSR) Vast majority of HSR cases are non-serious adverse events andresolve with permanent drug discontinuation HSR toxicity burden includes excess clinic visits, provision ofalternate antiretroviral drug(s), hospitalizations and rare fataloutcomes• Clinical risk management is highly effective in reducingserious outcomes
