Episode 211: 211. Pharmacogenomics Testing, PHASER,


(https://www.healthquality.va.gov/guidelines/MH/mdd/VADoDMDDCPGFinal508.pdf) clearly state there is insufficient evidence to support this activity and testing. This is mainly because of low quality evidence and concern of bias given commercially funded studies.

First prime


As I mention in my response email PRIME the primary outcomes per clinnicaltrials.gov were depression remission at 24 weeks, which was not statically significant. And then a use of fewer medications that have a potential gene-drug interaction which from what I can find was a ‘theoretical’ interaction not an actual increase in adverse events.

“The PREPARE Study

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5113234/#:~:text=Open%2Dlabel%20placebo%20reduced%20minimum,0.02%25%20in%20the%20TAU%20arm. When patients were told they were getting placebo for back pain and it helped their back pain!


The current VA/DoD guidelines clearly state, “For patients who cannot tolerate a statin, we suggest a washout period followed by a rechallenge with the same or a different statin or lower dose, and if that fails, a trial of intermittent (nondaily) dosing”.

https://www.healthquality.va.gov/guidelines/CD/lipids/VADoDDyslipidemiaCPG5087212020.pdf (full disclosure and bias I helped write them)

N-of-1 Trial of a Statin, Placebo, or No Treatment to Assess Side Effects | NEJM was published in the NEJM and then a few weeks later Statin treatment and muscle symptoms: series of randomised, placebo controlled n-of-1 trials (bmj.com) was published in the BMJ.

Around that same time a publication in JAMA https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2773490 showed that using pharmacogenetic testing resulted in no worse LDL levels (soft endpoint) at one year but also no better
