PGx testing for DPD deficiencies will help them avoid critical or fatal side effects due to dangerously high or toxic accumulations of these drugs in the patient’s liver. According to the new FDA labeling released in October 2025, providers should include pharmacogenomic testing (PGx) before beginning treatment with the chemotherapy drug capecitabine: https://lnkd.in/gQwzVtz2 Oncologists need to adapt their workflows to assess the risks posed by this warning label. This means identifying patients for potentially fatal drug-gene risks, streamlining the test-ordering workflow, and delivering actionable reports at the point of care – all before starting patients on their selected therapy whenever clinically possible. Aranscia has solutions at the ready to fast-track FDA compliance initiatives. 1. The AccessDx Laboratory PGx Profile already includes DPYD variants – and AccessDx is actively working with oncologists to support the adoption of DPYD testing with fast-turnaround times and integrated ordering workflows. 2. Aranscia’s clinical pharmacists and PGxperts™ immediately validated this explicit guidance update and incorporated the revised warning information into the YouScript® knowledgebase. 3. The Spesana and 2bPrecise® platforms, plus YouScript clinical decision support, deliver both pre- and post-test guidance for DPYD within existing provider-centric workflows. How can we help your organization today? https://lnkd.in/g8ruitTf

The FDA has updated the black box warning for Xeloda® to require DPYD testing before starting treatment. This marks a significant step forward for patient safety and the broader adoption of pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing in oncology. For years, leaders across the industry, including Aranscia's Houda Hachad and Kristine Ashcraft, have championed the need for routine DPYD testing prior to initiating fluoropyrimidine based chemotherapy. Their collaboration with pharmacogenomic expert groups and Advocates for Universal DPD/DPYD Testing has been instrumental in driving regulatory change and raising awareness about the clinical value of PGx-informed care. This update represents a multi-faceted win for patient safety. #pgx #oncology #patientsafety #DPYD #precisionmedicine #precisiononcology

"For clinicians, PGx offers a powerful opportunity to adopt a “top-down” approach to prescribing. Instead of reacting to adverse events after they occur, doctors can proactively use genetic insights to avoid potentially harmful drug-gene interactions before writing a prescription. Robust integration into clinical workflows is essential." - Joel Diamond, CMO, Aranscia Read "Beyond the Allergy Bracelet: Why Genes Hold the Key to Real Medication Safety" in Answers Media Network: https://lnkd.in/eMK3cd-u #MedicationSafety #MedicationManagement #Pharmacogenomics #PGx #PersonalizedPrescribing #AdverseDrugEvents #ADEs
