Abstract

CPIC TitleThe Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) was formed in late 2009, as a shared project between PharmGKB and the Pharmacogenomics Research Network. CPIC guidelines are peer-reviewed and published in a leading journal (in partnership with Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics) with simultaneous posting to the PharmGKB website with supplemental information/data and updates. Anyone with clinical interests in pharmacogenetics is eligible for membership. CPIC’s goal is to address some of the barriers to implementation of pharmacogenetic tests in clinical practice.

Mission

CPIC develops guidelines designed to help clinicians understand how available genetic test results should be used to optimize drug therapy. These guidelines are evaluated on an ongoing basis and updated regularly with all changes posted to the PharmGKB website.

CPIC also includes a working group on informatics to address the growing interest in informatics aspects of CPIC guidelines and the clinical implementation of pharmacogenetics.

Consortium History

The guidelines were endorsed by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.

CPIC interacts with guidelines.gov, National Institutes of Health’s Genetic Testing Registry, PubMed, U.S. Food and Drug Agency, National Human Genome Research Institute’s Genomic Medicine Working Group, Institute of Medicine’s Genomic Medicine Roundtable, Pharmacogenomics Research Network, American Medical Informatics Association, and eMERGE.
