Genomics studies routinely confront researchers with long lists of tumor alterations detected in patients. Such lists are difficult to interpret since only a minority of the alterations are relevant biomarkers for diagnosis and for designing therapeutic strategies. PanDrugs is a methodology that facilitates the interpretation of tumor molecular alterations and guides the selection of personalized treatments. To do so, PanDrugs scores gene actionability and drug feasibility to provide a prioritized evidence-based list of drugs. Here, we introduce PanDrugs2, a major upgrade of PanDrugs that, in addition to somatic variant analysis, supports a new integrated multi-omics analysis which simultaneously combines somatic and germline variants, copy number variation and gene expression data. Moreover, PanDrugs2 now considers cancer genetic dependencies to extend tumor vulnerabilities providing therapeutic options for untargetable genes. Importantly, a novel intuitive report to support clinical decision-making is generated. PanDrugs database has been updated, integrating 23 primary sources that support >74K drug-gene associations obtained from 4642 genes and 14 659 unique compounds. The database has also been reimplemented to allow semi-automatic updates to facilitate maintenance and release of future versions. PanDrugs2 does not require login and is freely available at https://www.pandrugs.org/.
基因组学研究经常使研究人员面对患者中检测到的大量肿瘤改变列表。由于只有少数改变是诊断和设计治疗策略的相关生物标志物,因此这些列表很难解释。PanDrugs 是一种有助于解释肿瘤分子改变并指导个性化治疗选择的方法。为此,PanDrugs 对基因的可操作性和药物的可行性进行评分,提供了一份基于证据的优先药物清单。在这里,我们介绍 PanDrugs2,这是 PanDrugs 的一次重大升级,除了体细胞变异分析外,它还支持新的集成多组学分析,同时结合体细胞和种系变异、拷贝数变异和基因表达数据。此外,PanDrugs2 现在考虑癌症遗传依赖性,以扩展肿瘤脆弱性,为无法靶向的基因提供治疗选择。重要的是,生成了一种新颖的直观报告来支持临床决策。PanDrugs 数据库已经更新,整合了 23 个主要来源,支持从 4642 个基因和 14659 个独特化合物中获得的 >74K 个药物-基因关联。该数据库也已重新实现,允许半自动更新,以方便维护和发布未来版本。PanDrugs2 无需登录,可在 https://www.pandrugs.org/ 免费获得。
