In this episode of The mTOR You Know, we dive into the evolving role of pharmacogenomics in solid organ transplantation with a focus on tacrolimus andCYP3A5. Our expert panel—Jennifer Trofe, Amy Pasternak, and Shirley Tsunoda—share insights on clinical trial data, guideline perspectives, and real-world application of genotype-guided dosing. We explore the benefits and limitations of CYP3A5 testing, touch on other transplant medications with pharmacogenomic considerations, and discuss barriers such as cost, access, and implementation. The conversation also highlights national survey findings,cost-effectiveness analyses, and strategies for integrating pharmacogenomics into clinical practice.Literature/Resources mentioned:ASERTAA TrialAssessing the Utility of a Genotype-Guided Tacrolimus Equation in African American Kidney Transplant Recipients Publications discussing benefits of CYP3A5 testing: 1.
