At Incite Health, we recognize that every patient is unique, and their responses to medications can vary significantly. In fact, drug selection for your patients can be highly complex and the efficacy of any given drug is based on several factors, from your patient’s genetics, nutrition, and lifestyle choices to their underlying conditions.
Incorporating pharmacogenomics testing into your care program provides personalized genetic insights, enabling you to optimize treatment decisions, enhance patient safety, and elevate your practice to new heights.
Pharmacogenomic testing, also known as pharmacogenetics or PGx testing, is a specialized type of genetic testing that examines how an individual’s genetic makeup influences their response to medications. It involves analyzing specific genes that play a role in drug metabolism, transport, and the body’s biological pathways related to drug effects. The goal of pharmacogenomic testing is to tailor medical treatment to an individual’s unique genetic profile, leading to safer and more effective medication regimens.
Pharmacogenomics will empower you as a healthcare provider in many areas of your patient interactions.
Enhanced drug effectiveness by knowing their unique genetic responses to medications.
Make more informed prescribing decisions to ensure patient safety and minimize risks.
Provide your patients with a higher likelihood of success, within a shorter timeline.
Pharmacogenomics helps you navigate complex medication regimens more effectively.
Genetic insights to support more informed discussions of treatment options with your patients.
As a physician, you hold the key to your patients' well-being. Our pharmacogenomic testing services offer a wealth of benefits that can revolutionize your approach to caring for every patient.
You are considering prescribing a new class of medications for your patient
Your patient has a history of unresponsiveness or poor response to medications, or has experienced an adverse drug effect to new medication
You are considering prescribing an FDA-designated ‘controlled substance’
You are considering prescribing a pre-drug form of an inhibitor or inducer- many of these have PGx recommendations or requirements listed on their drug labels
You are implementing PGx as a component of medical decision for both drug selection and dosing
You are incorporating PGx into your patient’s upcoming annual medical exam- and want to gain valuable clinical insights that are applicable to them for the rest of their lives

Combined, these panels provide a comprehensive profile of the genotype variants and copy number that are most likely to affect drug metabolism and efficacy, as well as identify increased risk of severe toxicity.
The VeriDose reports are easy to read and interpret, with clear CPIC-driven guidance for the prescription of a wide range of drugs.

Provides cost effective and rapid solutions for tracking cancer progression and the assessment of acquired drug resistance, all from a simple blood sample. The multiplexed UltraSEEK chemistry enables the detection of more than 100 variants, insertions, and deletions within tumor-derived cfDNA.
Enables rapid profiling of clinically relevant variants across key tumor-driving genes including BRAF, EGFR, ERBB2, KRAS, PIK3CA, NRAS., KIT. The reliable detection of very low abundance somatic mutations in tumor samples is achieved using the iPLEX HS chemistry, and the panels can all be customized for your patient’s specific tumor profiles.
These assays provide the high sensitivity required for clinical profiling, with minimal tissue requirements, and are therefore compatible with a range of sample collection procedures.
All of the PGx tests offered by Incite Health are supported with comprehensive reporting that includes clear interpretation and guidance towards safer and more effective prescribing decisions for your patients. When genetic variants with significance on drug efficacy, safety and tolerance are detected, the report clearly identifies appropriate precautions and next steps.
Whether adjusting dosages, or prioritizing specific medications, you can confidently make clinically directed decisions based on the most up to date predicted responses.
Incite Health can also provide completely customizable panels and reports to ensure every patient has access to the most relevant and current PGx targets for their specific needs.
