  • 摘要:Personalized medicine (PM) aims to harness a wave of ‘omics’ discoveries to facilitate research and discovery of targeted diagnostics and therapies and increase the efficiency of healthcare systems by predicting and treating individual predispositions to diseases or conditions. Despite significant investment, limited progress has been made bringing PM to market. We describe the major perceived regulatory, intellectual property, and reimbursement challenges to the development, translation, adoption, and implementation of PM products into clinical care. We conducted a scoping review to identify (i) primary challenges for the development and implementation of PM identified in the academic literature; (ii) solutions proposed in the academic literature to address these challenges; and (iii) gaps that exist in that literature. We identified regulatory barriers to PM development and recommendations in 344 academic papers. Regulatory uncertainty was a cross-cutting theme that appeared in conjunction with other themes including: reimbursement; clinical trial regulation; regulation of co-development; unclear evidentiary requirements; insufficient incentives for research and development; incompatible information systems; and different regulation of different diagnostics. To fully realize the benefits of PM for healthcare systems and patients, regulatory, intellectual property, and reimbursement challenges need to be addressed in lock step with scientific advances.
