The paradox of population health: Focus on personalized support for the greatest impact – MedCity News

Sunday, May 31st, 2020

Abraham Maslow said in 1966, I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail. This mentality known as the Law of the Instrument indicates that people tend to rely on the tool with which they are most familiar.

In a healthcare setting, that can translate into only using traditionally trained medical professionals to handle every situation, but in reality, some issues require a collaborative approach that includes other skills and experience. This is particularly relevant when it comes to addressing social determinants of health (SDoH).

Social determinants of health can include many things: food, housing and transportation insecurities; lifestyles, locations and surroundings; social isolation; and other factors that prevent people from achieving and maintaining good health. Non-clinical influences like these can drive up to 80% of clinical outcomes, affecting an individuals ability to be healthy.

In other words, it takes more than the latest treatments to keep people healthy. Much work is being done to address social determinants at the public health level, but these factors must also be addressed at the patient level. The paradox about population health is that its all about individuals and using a collaborative approach can be the key to success.

Why the Collaborative Approach WorksStudies indicate that patients who perceive their providers as more empathetic tend to get better more quickly, and experience less severe symptoms. Yet providers sometimes lack the capacity to treat patients holistically, or the data and insights to understand why a patient isnt taking their medicine, even though insights into social barriers can guide how providers should interact with patients.

Educating a patient is helpful, but typically not effective at changing behavior, especially when social factors are at work. Additionally, people trained in the medical field are not also trained and resourced to deliver interventions involving social factors.

This is where an interdisciplinary team approach can help to improve population health by addressing social determinants at the individual level. The best approach to care involves a team that includes a range of medical professionals, social workers, behavioral health specialists and community health coaches, all working together to formulate and deliver a comprehensive support plan tailored to each patients priorities and needs.

Instead of telling patients what to do, local care teams can work with patients to understand their barriers, such as lack of transportation or housing insecurity, and tap local resources to reduce or remove them. By simply asking the right questions, community health coaches can get much more tactical and concrete about supporting the individual and tailoring treatment support plans.

Additionally, these coaches often live in the same community and understand the context of peoples lives, which improves communication and creates trust. In fact, Medicaid members who receive community-based services are less likely to be admitted to the ER or as an inpatient in a hospital. During one-on-one interactions, community health specialists are well-positioned to understand the social roadblocks to access care and adhering to treatment plans.

A collaborative team is ideally suited to assess the social and environmental factors impacting a persons health, identify barriers of care, and create a personalized support plan that may include services such as behavioral health support, patient advocacy, and remote monitoring technology to remove those barriers and improve care plan adherence.

The Four Components of SuccessA successful strategy to address social determinants of health comprises four components:

Analytics: In any population health intervention, the team needs to identify through stratification who is at the greatest risk, to properly titrate the resource intensiveness of an intervention. If you try to intervene equally with everyone, your efforts (and funds) will be spread too wide and too thinly.

Using analytics on the front end can ensure that the people with the highest risk are receiving more intensive treatments. Healthcare teams can look to existing data sets like consumer marketing data, which often is a treasure trove of information on factors that affect health such as transportation, housing issues and financial stress. For example, data can reveal if an individual lives alone, owns a car, or lives near public transportation all factors that impact a persons ability to follow through with their care plan. These insights can be integrated with data on medical risk and cost of care before the amalgamated data set is stratified.

A multidisciplinary support team: As stated, for social determinants to be addressed on an individual level requires an integrated team of both clinical and social support experts and community-based coaches are essential contributors.

The right toolbox from which to draw: There are existing toolboxes of interventions for housing, food insecurity and stress management, and the care team should recognize what needs to be addressed and draw from existing strategies to address healthcare at the social level. Interventions that mitigate the social stressors impacting an individual around the clock provide the greatest health benefits.

Respect for the individuals priorities: A population health team must have the flexibility to prioritize what the individual sees as the greatest issue. For example, a homeless individual might have a substance use disorder (SUD). Typically, people with SUD cannot get into housing until they are in recovery; however, if the individual is not ready to work on their recovery, but does see stable housing as a stepping stone toward recovery, that should be respected so work first on what theyre ready to work on.

A Better Approach to Addressing Population HealthWhile the use of multidisciplinary teams can involve significant changes to work practices and organizational arrangements, providing community-based resources is essential to addressing social barriers that affect health and wellness.

By understanding the social factors that can impact patient wellness, and employing a collaborative approach to individual care, payers, providers and patients will reap the benefits of more successful outcomes improving population health overall.

Quanterix Expands Menu of Ultra-Sensitive Neurology Assays with Simoa P-Tau181 V2 Kit for Improved Detection and Study of Alzheimer’s Disease -…

Sunday, May 31st, 2020

BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quanterix Corporation (NASDAQ: QTRX), a company digitizing biomarker analysis to advance the science of precision health, today announced that it will expand its robust menu of ready-to-use Simoa kits to include tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau181), a highly specific biomarker for the study of Alzheimers disease pathology, in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), serum and plasma. A growing body of research, including work published recently in The Lancet Neurology, suggests that the biomarker could prove critical to predicting Alzheimers disease progression and differentiating the disease from other neurodegenerative disorders. Moreover, an ultra-sensitive, blood p-tau181 assay may hold the key to advancing preventative care for the disease in clinics and via homecare sampling through a simple, cost-effective blood-based screening that can deliver an early, objective diagnosis. These findings and details on how researchers can gain early access to Quanterix new commercial assay through the Simoa Accelerator Laboratory, will be discussed during an upcoming Powering Precision Health (PPH) Think Tank Webinar taking place at 10 a.m., EDT on June 3, 2020.

Biomarkers continue to play an invaluable role in understanding how neurological diseases manifest, progress and respond to treatment, said Kevin Hrusovsky, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Quanterix. Building on years of innovation and a proven track record for successfully commercializing ultra-sensitive assays that disrupt markets and drive innovative breakthroughs forward, our p-tau181 version 2 assay kit offers researchers unrivaled visibility and specificity into this revolutionary marker in serum and plasma. The exquisite sensitivity of Simoa uniquely positions us to deliver on the promise of p-tau181 to pave new pathways in Alzheimers disease exploration, just as our neurofilament light chain (Nf-L) assay has transformed research for other neurological diseases. In particular, the impact of a high-definition, blood-based Simoa assay that rivals traditional CSF or PET scans could be revolutionary, with material potential for home sampling to enable early detection and development and approval of drug therapies desperately needed to improve outcomes for the millions of people living with Alzheimers disease today. This biomarker advance fits perfectly in our vision to transform reactive sick care' into proactive asymptomatic precision healthcare.

While deaths associated with other pervasive diseases such as heart disease have declined between 2000 and 2018, Alzheimers disease-related deaths have increased by 146 percent, according to the Alzheimers Association. Importantly, there is no objective test to diagnose the disorder, leading many physicians to rely solely on subjective cognitive assessments. As a result, many patients are not diagnosed until late in the diseases progression, after symptoms of cognitive decline, such as memory loss, begin to present. Even then, the disease can often be misdiagnosed for another neurodegenerative condition, such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

For years, researchers have studied the utility of biomarkers for understanding, detecting and monitoring Alzheimers disease. These efforts have been accelerated in large part by the PPH network, which has grown into a global epicenter for biomarker-enabled innovations to not only detect and treat, but ultimately, prevent disease. Resulting studies demonstrate the vast utility of proteins such as total tau and Nf-L. Researchers, doctors and pharmaceutical companies are now harnessing these biomarkers to see the disease earlier, monitor its progression and inform clinical decision making more effectively, and assess the viability of experimental therapies. Quanterix ultra-sensitive immunoassay technology, Simoa, which empowers single- and multi-plex detection of key biomarkers with 1000 times greater sensitivity than competing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) solutions, is the driving technology behind much of this research. Among the most notable is a 2019 Nature Medicine paper that used Simoa to see signs of Alzheimers disease 16 years before symptoms through the high-definition detection of Nf-L. The technology has powered hundreds of similarly peer-reviewed journals over the years that demonstrate the potential for blood-based detection of the disease with equal or greater sensitivity as compared to CSF or PET biomarkers. Collectively, these studies create an influential body of research that advances the preventative care paradigm envisioned by PPH at its inception by supporting the utility of a non-invasive and easily administered blood test to detect Alzheimers disease before symptoms.

Today, emerging research suggests that p-tau181 could hold even greater diagnostic promise for Alzheimers disease, as it has proven capable of differentiating the condition from other forms of dementia with greater specificity than total tau. Leaders in the field of neurodegenerative disease research, such as the authors of The Lancet Neurology paper Professors Henrik Zetterberg, MD, PhD, and Kaj Blennow, MD, PhD, of the University of Gothenburg, believe blood p-tau181 has the potential to revolutionize Alzheimers disease research and patient care in much the same way that serum-based Nf-L has for multiple sclerosis (MS).These concepts further progress PPHs mission and vision to harness biomarkers for true precision health, with myriad implications that include improving understanding of the condition, enabling earlier diagnosis and intervention, informing more accurate long-term care, identifying clinical trial candidates earlier in the disease cascade and, subsequently, accelerating promising new therapies to market.

The latest installment of the PPH Think Tank series of webinars, entitled Novel p-tau181 Blood Immunoassay and the Future of Alzheimers Disease Research, will explore the vast opportunities associated with p-tau181 to revolutionize the way we approach disease and administer care. Specifically, the discussion will detail how an innovative immunoassay to measure p-tau181 in blood could accelerate efforts to establish a clinically relevant routine Alzheimers disease diagnostic test, and the potential high-definition detection via small volume blood samples creates for homecare precision health. Hrusovsky, together with Professors Zetterberg and Blennow, will break down the findings from the recent paper in The Lancet Neurology and examine how Simoa is powering exploration into uncharted territory as it pertains to Alzheimers disease detection, monitoring, treatment and prevention.

Were on the cusp of what could be an incredible new era for Alzheimers patients and those with a genetic predisposition to the disease, said Zetterberg. The ability to see dementia asymptomatically and moreover conclusively distinguish it as Alzheimers disease-induced could forever change the face of this condition. P-tau181 shows immense promise in this regard, which is augmented considerably when harnessed by a leader in detection like Quanterix.

Early findings from our work with p-tau181 are very encouraging, said Blennow. The biomarker is proving to be an exceptional new tool in our arsenal against Alzheimers disease. While CSF p-tau181 has been recognized as a highly valuable biomarker in Alzheimers disease pathology, the greater clinical benefit will come from our ability to effectively harness the marker in blood. The unprecedented specificity of p-tau181 paired with a highly sensitive technology like Simoa promises to broaden our knowledge of this devastating disease considerably, with monumental implications for patients and caregivers.

Myriad Presents New Data at ASCO Validating the Ability of riskScore to Provide Personalized Breast Cancer Risk Information to Patients – Yahoo…

Sunday, May 31st, 2020

SALT LAKE CITY, May 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (MYGN), a leader in molecular diagnostics and precision medicine, today announced the presentation of two new studies at the 2020 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting demonstrating the ability of Myriads riskScore test to provide personalized breast cancer risk information that allows patients and physicians to make better informed clinical treatment decisions.

We are excited to further demonstrate Myriads commitment to providing the best possible risk assessment tools to patients through innovation, said Nicole Lambert, president of Myriad Oncology, Myriad Womens Health and Myriad International. The validation data we are presenting at ASCO this year will support a broader launch of riskScore to even more women in the coming year with more personalized information and the unique ability to modify carrier risk through a clinically validated tool.

Summaries of the studies are below. Follow Myriad on Twitter via @myriadgenetics and keep up to date with ASCO meeting news and updates by using the #ASCO20 hashtag.

riskScore Presentations at 2020 ASCO:

Title:Comprehensive breast cancer (BC) risk assessment for CHEK2 carriers incorporating a polygenic risk score (PRS) and the Tyrer-Cuzick (TC) modelPresenter:Mark E. Robson, MD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer CenterLocation:https://meetinglibrary.asco.org/record/187438/abstract

In this study, 358,471 women with hereditary cancer risk who were tested with a multigene panel were assessed to find 4,331 women who were carriers of deleterious CHEK2 mutations. These patients were used to develop a mathematical model to assess risk status using family history information and Myriads riskScore test. This model was then validated in an independent cohort of 459 women. In CHEK2 pathogenic variant carriers, a significant correlation was detected of CHEK2 status with family history (FH) (p=4.1 10-17) and of polygenic risk scores with FH among CHEK2 carriers (p=1.7 10-5). Among the patients in the validation cohort, 24.0% of CHEK2 carriers were categorized as low risk (<20%), and 62.6% were categorized as moderate risk (20-50%). For 13.4% of CHEK2 carriers, risk estimation incorporating PRS and TC generated BC risks of greater than 50%, consistent with genes recognized as highly penetrant.

Title:Performance of the IBIS/Tyrer-Cuzick (TC) Model by Race/Ethnicity in the Womens Health InitiativePresenter:Allison W. Kurian, M.D., M.Sc, Stanford UniversityLocation:https://meetinglibrary.asco.org/record/185965/abstract

In this study, 91,893 women of differing racial identities with no personal history of breast cancer were followed for a median of 18.9 years to assess incidence of breast cancer. 6,836 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed among the women. The Tyrer-Cuzick model was used to assess risk of breast cancer and then actual cases of breast cancer were compared to expected cases based upon the Tyrer-Cuzick risk assessment. The study found that the Tyrer-Cuzick model was an accurate predictor of breast cancer risk among various ethnicities except for Hispanic women where it overestimated breast cancer risk (ratio of observed versus expected cases overall was 0.95).

About riskScoreriskScore is a new clinically validated personalized medicine tool that enhances Myriads myRisk Hereditary Cancer test. riskScore helps to further predict a womens lifetime risk of developing breast cancer using clinical risk factors and genetic-markers throughout the genome. The test incorporates data from more than 80 single nucleotide polymorphisms identified through 20 years of genome wide association studies in breast cancer and was validated in our laboratory to predict breast cancer risk in women of European descent. This data is then combined with a best-in-class family and personal history algorithm, the Tyrer-Cuzick model, to provide every patient with individualized breast cancer risk.

About Myriad myRisk Hereditary CancerThe Myriad myRisk Hereditary Cancer test uses an extensive number of sophisticated technologies and proprietary algorithms to evaluate 35 clinically significant genes associated with eight hereditary cancer sites including: breast, colon, ovarian, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate and gastric cancers and melanoma.

Predicting drug responses using pancreatic cancer organoids and multimodal plate imaging on SelectScience – SelectScience

Wednesday, May 27th, 2020

Pancreatic cancer is a deadly malignancy with few treatment models. Monolayer cell culture has failed to predict patient drug responses in the past. In response to this, a patient-derived organoid (PDO) methodology has been developed that enables the generation of models, from both surgically resected material and biopsies, with a success rate of 75-80%. These cultures enable the molecular dissection of treatment responses and resistance.

Here, Dannielle Engle and Christian Oberdanner will discuss the use of the Tecan SparkCyto to evaluate drug responses in PDO models. In short, PDO models were plated in a 384-well format, allowed to reform, and treated with compounds. The dose-responses of PDO models were compared to several agents using both CellTiter-Glo (Promega) to measure ATP levels, as well as the automated confluence measurement. This methodology provided the same endpoint analyses previously relied upon, plus the dynamic evaluation of changes to cell morphology and confluence. Confluence measurements were found to be comparable to ATP levels. Given the diversity observed amongst pancreatic cancer patients and the PDO models, dynamic measurements provide additional flexibility and information for precision medicine approaches.

insideHPC Special Report: HPC and AI for the Era of Genomics – insideHPC

Wednesday, May 27th, 2020

This special report sponsored by Dell Technologies, takes a deep dive into HPC and AI for life sciences in the era of genomics. 2020 will be remembered for the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus or COVID-19. While infection rates are growing exponentially, the race is on to find a treatment, vaccine, or cure. Governments and private organizations are teaming together to understand the basic biology of the virus, its genetic code, to find what can stop it.

Significant amounts of computing power are aimed at this problem, including using the most powerful high performance computing (HPC) systems in the world today. Finding a cure or eliminating COVID-19 will not only benefit the worldwide population, but will also be the foundation for tackling the next pandemic, which some scientists say will happen in the not too distant future.

This technology guide, insideHPC Special Report: HPC and AI for the Era of Genomics, highlights a lineup of Ready Solutions created by Dell Technologies which are highly optimized and tuned hardware and software stacks for a variety of industries. The Ready Solutions for HPC Life Sciences have been designed to speed time to production, improve performance with purpose-built solutions, and scale easier with modular building blocks for capacity and performance.

Introduction

2020 will be remembered for the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus or COVID-19. While infection rates are growing exponentially, the race is on to find a treatment, vaccine, or cure. Governments and private organizations are teaming together to understand the basic biology of the virus, its genetic code, to find what can stop it. Significant amounts of computing power are aimed at this problem, including using the most powerful high performance computing (HPC) systems in the world today.[1] Finding a cure or eliminating COVID-19 will not only benefit the worldwide population, but will also be the foundation for tackling the next pandemic, which some scientists say will happen in the not too distant future.[2]

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Slav Petrovski, Head of Genome Analytics and Informatics at AstraZenecas Centre for Genomics Research (CGR) explains that there is a wide range of uses for AI within this field. He says that the approximately three billion base pairs that make up the human genome can be analyzed through AI to find genetic variations. The next step is to determine the level of confidence to be placed in the differing data to decide if it represents a biological genetic variant.

AI is being combined with traditional HPC simulations to predict more accurate results. Based on previous completed computations, an algorithm is able to determine what the next input or result could be. For example, if protein A shows a possible affinity to kill the Coronavirus, then does protein B (or others) have a better chance or could be more effective?

There are a number AI uses within genomics research that can identify and facilitate drug target interaction. By combining analytical and automated processes with the ongoing study of genomics, a more complete understanding of this field will progress. AI can lead to greater insights into the patterns and anomalies in the data, where humans may not see the correlations at first. By using machine and deep learning techniques, new and more effective medicines can get to patients faster and will be better targeted to fight diseases.

Produvia, a research company, has identified five areas where AI will benefit genomic research moving forward:

Precision Medicine

While AI can benefit genomic research, the end goal is to create treatments that specifically attack the genetic code of the infection or disease, and to create treatments that are tailored to an individuals genetic makeup. To do this requires significant data, computing power, and collaborations that combine expertise from many disciplines.

With a combination of faster and more accurate genomic sequencing with faster computer systems and new algorithms, the movement of discovering what medicine will work best on individual pathogens and patients has moved from research institutions to bedside doctors. Physicians and other healthcare providers now have better, faster and more accurate tools and data to determine optimal treatment plans based on more data. This is especially true for pediatric cancer patients.

Personalized or precision medicine holds the key to innovative approaches to manage diseases on an individual level. Various decisions regarding the management of healthcare to each pathogen and/or individual is customized, based on the knowledge of the genetic or cellular information. Diagnosis of diseases, and the resulting treatments can be tailored for each person. However, a number of challenges exist as this scientific field moves forward, such as regulatory oversight, intellectual property rights and patient privacy.

Worldwide, many countries are dedicating resources and efforts to learn more about genomics and how to apply this knowledge to personalizing medicine. Figure 1 shows the worldwide effort to bring precision medicine to those in need. Figure 2 shows how the cost of decoding a human genome has come down, even faster than Moores Law.

Over the next few weeks we will explore these topics surrounding HPC and AI for life sciences in the era of genomics:

For cancer treatment and more, genetic-based precision medicine holds a lot of promise – Connecticut Magazine

Tuesday, May 26th, 2020

A month following surgery for thyroid cancer, a Hartford Hospital patients tumor grew to 10 inches. The case was presented to the hospitals tumor board, which involved 30 doctors from different specialties.

The gene mutation found to be controlling the patients tumor growth was already well-established as a driver of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, says Dr. Sope Olugbile, medical oncologist at Hartford HealthCare.Chemotherapy wouldnt work fast enough against the aggressive tumor. Tumor board members recommended a targeted therapy already treating patients with melanoma. Without that genetic information, we wouldnt have been able to come up with that therapy, he says. The treatment saved the patients life, so far. Our goal is to use more of the genetic information to drive the treatment of cancer patients.

This type of personalized care, known as precision medicine and its subset, genomic medicine, has been offered for years at world-renowned cancer-treatment hospitals such as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Its now the standard of care in Connecticuts Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute, UConn Health Center in Farmington, Connecticut Childrens Medical Center in Hartford and Smilow Cancer Center at Yale New Haven Health.Cancer therapy has become precision therapy, says Dr. Roy Herbst, professor of medicinal oncology and pharmacology, and chief of medical oncology at Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital.

Dr. Roy Herbst, of Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital, says that precision care is often used in cancer treatment these days.

While its most commonly used with cancer patients, precision medicine is also making inroads into other areas of health care including the treatment of some cardiac patients. Its also being studied and used on a limited basis to treat those with rare diseases. In the U.S., newborns are screened with a blood test for hearing loss and heart defects. If detected and treated early, this can prevent death and disability in some cases. For some doctors and researchers, precision medicine holds the promise of effective targeted diseases and chronic conditions, and, even more revolutionary, the chance to prevent illness before it arises. The race is on to gather as much data as possible in order to increase understanding of the connection between genes and overall health; here in Connecticut, Yales Center for Genetic Health last fall launched its Generations project to collect DNA from 100,000 volunteers (see sidebar below).

Precision medicine involves the study of human genes, called the genome. The human genome contains 23 pairs of chromosomes within all human cells, and each chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes. Using high-level computing and mathematics, genomics researchers analyze massive amounts of DNA-sequence data to find variations or mutations that affect health, disease or response to drugs, according to an online description by The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine in Farmington.

Researchers can sequence an entire tumor to look for markers or abnormalities that can be treated with a targeted medication that attacks that mutation, unlike traditional chemotherapy that kills healthy cells along with cancer cells, says Herbst, also associate director for translational science at the Yale School of Medicine.

These days, when Yales precision medicine tumor board meets weekly, they dont focus on where the tumor began, he says. They look at what errors occurred in the DNA of the tumor, because once they know whats driving the tumor, they can treat it.For example, lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world. When a nonsmoker gets lung cancer, doctors sequence the tumors DNA to see if it contains one of eight genes known to mutate.

Each cancer cell has about 18,000 to 20,000 genes, and there are some cancers where just one of those genes is directing the growth of the cancer, Olugbile says. We call that the driver gene. The other 17,999 are just following the lead of that driver gene, he says. That means if we tag just that one gene with the medication then we can actually shut down the growth of the entire cancer.

Traditional chemotherapy can only be given for 4-6 months because of the side effects, while targeted oral medications have very few side effects and patients remain on them for an average of two years, Olugbile says.

In the past five years, genetic testing has become standard of care for some cancers specifically colon, lung and melanoma because those types of cancers tend to have genetic mutations that have been known to respond to therapy, says Sara Patterson, manager of clinical analytics and curation at Jackson Labs, which works with UConn and Yale researchers.But targeted therapy is not a cure-all, and researchers are still a long way from using precision medicine to treat all cancer patients. Even if cancers have the same genomic change and mutation, theres no guarantee they will all respond to the same therapy, she says.Overall, precision medicine is only effective at stopping the spread of cancer in an average of 20 percent of cancer patients treated, Olugbile says, with variations by cancer. Sometimes the cancer returns because the tumor changes to resist the therapy, Patterson adds.

As doctors and researchers do more genomic sequencing, the data pool will grow and so will knowledge of what medications work most effectively against various tumor types.The more information we gather, the better well know how to treat specific patients, Patterson says.

Reimbursement from insurance companies can be a challenge. If precision treatment for a particular type of cancer hasnt been approved by the insurance industry, its difficult to get reimbursed for genomic testing, says Sue Mockus, director of product innovation and strategic commercialization at Jackson Labs.Its a catch-22. Even though a patient with pancreatic cancer could benefit from a targeted therapy, unless that patient is part of a clinical trial that would pay for the genomic testing, the patient would have to pay out of pocket, the annual cost of which can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you do have a mutation identified and your physician wants to give you the medication off label, you have to fight with the insurance company, Mockus says.

Experts have suggested a value-based approach to precision medicine, reports the International Journal of Public Health. This means policy decisions about reimbursement and investment in research and development will factor in how long patients lives are prolonged and the quality of those lives, the Journal reports.

Oncologists also offer cancer patients immunotherapy, another form of personalized medicine, Patterson says. Theyre using diagnostic tests on tumors, independent of genomic sequencing, to determine if their tumor profiles make them a good immunotherapy candidate. Immunotherapy is approved for multiple tumor types, as long as they have certain markers, she says.

Former President Jimmy Carter became cancer free after receiving radiation and immunotherapy to treat the melanoma that had spread to his brain and liver. While immunotherapy can cure cancer for some, its only effective about 20 percent of the time, Olugbile says. It varies a bit by cancer, with some cancers having a higher success rate, he adds.

Through a collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering, Hartford HealthCares Advanced Disease Clinic was scheduled to open this spring to give patients even more options, he says. If targeted therapies and immunotherapies dont work or are not a match for patients, doctors will look for suitable clinical trials that offer potential treatments, Olugbile says.Our goal is to create awareness on two fronts, one is among the doctors. Yes, we are available to help if patients have gone through standard of care who didnt respond, he says. Its also an option for patients who want to be treated with precision medicine closer to home. The goal is to make it available so they dont have to go to New York or Boston, he says. Its right here in Hartford and hopefully at other cancer centers over time.

From Yale, Herbst leads a clinical trial through the National Cancer Institute where he and his team are trying to match the right patient to the right drug.Every tumor is getting sequenced. Thats accelerating the field. The sequencing techniques have gotten cheaper and faster, so we can analyze them at the point of care, Herbst says. This is why clinical trials are so important. Whats a clinical trial today is standard of care tomorrow.

In a study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, a multi-institutional research team including a Connecticut doctor developed an advanced method to analyze existing data from thousands of clinical trials, comparing which genes FDA-approved drugs work against to the genes active in pediatric brain tumor patients. This sped up the lengthy process of developing cancer drugs.

Dr. Ching Lau, head of the oncology-hematology division at Connecticut Childrens Medical Center and the pediatric oncology-hematology department at UConn School of Medicine, is accessing the World Community Grid, an IBM-funded program that allows researchers worldwide to perform tens of thousands of virtual experiments. Instead of screening thousands and thousands of compounds to try to find a potential drug, we found we could use genomics data already available and do a more systems-approach analysis to figure out the predominant pathways driving the tumor cells, Lau, professor at The Jackson Laboratory, says in an email. Then we asked if there were any existing FDA-approved drugs that could potentially modulate those pathways.

The researchers identified eight drugs that could potentially fight medulloblastoma (MB) tumors, the most common malignant brain tumor in children. One of the drugs showed an increased survival rate in mice with MB tumors, and a clinical trial is being pursued.

Personalized medicineand heart disease

Precision medicines applications have expanded beyond cancer care. At first, much heart disease research relied on a genetic analysis of whether someone was predisposed to a disease. Thanks to a growing database of patient information that is shared worldwide, researchers can mine huge data sets with hundreds of thousands of cases for patterns and abnormalities that lead to discoveries, says Beth Taylor, associate professor of kinesiology at UConn and director of exercise physiology research in cardiology at Hartford Hospital. Researchers and clinicians know that about half the people who have heart attacks dont have the typical risk factors such as high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. To determine why physically active people with healthy diets have heart attacks, researchers are using precision medicine to comb through large studies to find small predictors, Taylor says. Often the influence of any one factor is hard to detect unless you have a big sample size, she says.

The National Institutes of Health requires grant recipients to share their data to a national registry so that researchers have access to big data, she says. (Personal information such as date of birth, name and address are removed from files used for research studies.)

When we first began to really measure genetic variations, it was believed that was going to be the big hope in treatment, Taylor says. But genes are complex and environmental factors modify genetics for multiple generations.

For the first time ever, weve got wide-scale computing ability to analyze huge data points. This can better allow us to predict disease progression and optimize treatment, she says. Many of us would say that this concept of big data is as or more important than genetic risk. Genetic risks are not the whole picture.

For the first time ever, weve got wide-scale computing ability to analyze huge data points. This can better allow us to predict disease progression and optimize treatment.

Progress with diabetes

Precision medicine is not widely used in the treatment ofdiabetesin the U.S., except when it comes to a rare form of diabetes called neonatal diabetes mellitus. While type 1 and type 2 diabetes are controlled by two or more genesand additional genetic factors,neonatal diabetes mellitus involves a single gene and develops in babies under 6 months old.

Through genetic testing of babies with elevated blood sugar levels,researchers learnedthat about half the patients have gene mutations that respond well to a pill used to treat type 2 diabetes and they dont need to be on insulin for the rest of their lives like type 1 diabetics, says Karel Erion,director of research stewardship and communications for the American Diabetes Association.

When infants show signs of type 1 diabetes at Yale New Haven Childrens Hospital or Connecticut Childrens Medical Center, they are automatically tested for neonatal diabetes, hospital doctors say.

An example of precision medicine as a predictor of disease is the TrialNet database, which uses genetic testing to determine whether the relatives of those with type 1 diabetes have two or more of the five diabetes-related autoantibodies (proteins produced by the immune system directed against the persons own proteins) linked to increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetics must take insulin for the rest of their lives to survive, and theres no known way to prevent the autoimmune disease. Type 1 diabetes, formerly called juvenile diabetes, typically strikes children and adolescents, causing the pancreas to stop producing insulin, a hormone needed to process sugar, or glucose, from food. Type 2 diabetes was formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, but the disorder is being seen in more children, thought to be the result of a rise in childhood obesity. Screening identifies the early stages of the disease years before any symptoms appear, according to the TrialNet website.

In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers from the TrialNet Study Group, led by Yale Universitys Dr. Kevan Herold, found that an experimental medication delayed the onset of type 1 diabetes in high-risk participants by two years compared to the control group. The disease was diagnosed in 43 percent of the participants who received the medication, teplizumab, and 72 percent of those who received the placebo.

Alzheimers disease and dementia

Only 1 to 3 percent of the 5 million people living with Alzheimers disease have a genetic mutation that leads to whats called genetic or familial Alzheimers. But one in three older adults will eventually develop some form of dementia, says Rebecca Edelmayer, the Alzheimers Association director of scientific engagement.

Like other diseases that strike large segments of the population, researchers rely on big data to learn about Alzheimers and which genes play a role in who gets it.Researchers have learned that there are several risk factors that contribute to dementia, she says. Specifically, the presence of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, social and cognitive isolation, poor nutrition and the level of education, can contribute to cognitive decline, she says.

Scientists from around the world share research data and draw from data in the Global Alzheimers Association Interactive Network, she says.The field has made some dramatic advances in understanding of how genetics play a role and how other underlying diseases play a role, Edelmayer says. We need to give doctors evidence-based recommendations.

Power of Precision Medicine Could be Fueled Here – ETF Trends

Tuesday, May 26th, 2020

The ARK Genomic Revolution Multi-Sector Fund (CBOE: ARKG) is establishing a reputation for being one of the best-performing healthcare ETFs, a legacy forged over its multi-year lifespan, not just a few weeks.

One of the driving forces behind ARKGs enviable long-term track records its the managers ability to identify disruptive forces in the healthcare and genomics arenas. The intersection of precision medicine and genomics could be the next growth frontier for ARKG investors.

Increasingly, clinicians are tailoring treatments to a patients specific genetic mutations, said ARK analyst Simon Barnett in a recent note. While the number of precision therapies targeting these mutations has grown, only recently have costs dropped to a low enough level that physicians can sequence an individuals genomic profile and identify his or her mutations.

ARKG includes companies that merge healthcare with technology and capitalize on the revolution in genomic sequencing. These companies try to better understand how biological information is collected, processed and applied by reducing guesswork and enhancing precision; restructuring health care, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and enhancing our quality of life.

Empowered by the cost declines of next generation DNA sequencing (NGS), diagnostic providers such as Veracyte (VCYT), Exact Sciences (EXAS), and Guardant Health (GH) are advancing personalized medicine by matching patients to precision therapies. ARK believes that therapeutics companies increasingly will use NGS in clinical trials, creating targeted therapies that ultimately will supplant traditional chemotherapies, writes Barnett.

Guardant Health and Veracyte combine for almost 6% of ARKGs roster.

Bolstering the long-term case for genetic sequencing is the fields ability to help healthcare professionals more accurately diagnose ailments, delivering a higher level of personalized patient care.

In the lucrative oncology field, a prime target for many genomics companies, there are myriad ways genomics and precision medicine can combine to potentially increase positive outcomes for patients.

Some mutations are not inherited and can appear spontaneously, giving rise to aggressive cells that coalesce into tumors. In the case of spontaneous variants, cancer patients are matched to targeted therapies with a lock-and-key system, according to Barnett. First, using molecular diagnostic tests, oncologists search for the mutationthe lockthat is driving tumor growth. Then, diagnostic vendors introduce the molecular information to a genomic biomarker database and search for the best treatmentthe key. Importantly, as the data on clinical outcomes feeds back into the system, the accuracy of the algorithms that match patients to therapies increases continuously.

Moving Precision Medicine From Evaluation Into Practice and Policy – Newswise

Tuesday, May 26th, 2020

Newswise Lawrenceville, NJ, USAMay 26, 2020Value in Health, the official journal of ISPORthe professional society for health economics and outcomes research, announced today the publication of a series of articles focused on methods for moving from the evaluation of precision medicine into practice and policy. The series was published in the May 2020 issue of Value in Health.

Precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle, said Guest Editor Kathryn A. Phillips, PhD, Center for Translational and Policy Research on Personalized Medicine, University of California at San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA. This approach allows clinicians and researchers to predict more accurately which treatments and prevention strategies for a particular disease will work in which groups of people.

The themed section highlights next-generation sequencing technologies, which are the fastest-growing type of precision medicine technology. These technologies include panels that test multiple genes for a single indication, whole exome sequencing tests that evaluate the entire exome (coding regions of the genome), and whole genome sequencing tests that evaluate the entire genome.

In her introductory editorial, Methods for Moving the Evaluation of Precision Medicine Into Practice and Policy, Phillips provides historical perspective and introduces the other 5 articles in the series:

Much progress has been made in developing and applying methods to evaluate precision medicine, said Phillips. Nevertheless, new tests such as minimally invasive liquid biopsies and emerging approaches such as artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms will continue to require the development and adaptation of methods used to assess the value of precision medicine. The collective efforts of a society like ISPOR can bring together the wide range of disciplines and stakeholders that will be needed to continue to evolve the methods and approaches used to assess precision medicine.
