Pharmacogenomic characteristics and IDgenetix-guided medication management for older adults with depression and anxiety

Mar 2024

This study showed that the drug-drug interactions and lifestyle factors provided by Castle Biosciences’ IDgenetix® test significantly improved medication recommendations over drug-gene interactions alone for patients 65 and older.

An Automated Tissue Systems Pathology Test Can Standardize the Management and Improve Health Outcomes for Patients with Barrett's Esophagus

Nov 2023

Management guided by the TissueCypher test can standardize care plans by increasing the early detection of progressors who can receive therapeutic interventions, while also increasing the percentage of nonprogressors who can avoid unnecessary therapy and be managed by surveillance alone.

The Importance of Incorporating Drug-Drug Interactions and Lifestyle Factors in Pharmacogenomics-Guided Medication Management for Patients With Major Depressive Disorder in a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Sep 2023

In this study, drug-drug interactions accounted for 32% of all IDgenetix-guided drug recommendations, and lifestyle factors accounted for 11%. Incorporating these non-genetic factors in IDgenetix testing significantly impacts the number of drug recommendations and improves remission rates in patients with moderate to severe depression.

Effectiveness of pharmacogenomic tests including CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genomic variants for guiding the treatment of depressive disorders: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Jan 2023

Major depressive disorders are prevalent conditions with limited treatment response and remission. Pharmacogenomics tests including CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genomic variants provide the most reliable actionable approach to guide choice and dosing of antidepressants in major depression to improve outcomes.
