Abstract

Unlike benign tumors, malignant tumors are capable of metastasis, easy to relapse, poor survival, and low quality of life. In Korea, here is a tendency to treat the tumors collectively according to the General Principles of Cancer Chemotherapy(GPCC) of the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA). But recently, companion diagnostics(CDx) is recommended rather than unilateral medication because biomarker-based molecular diagnostics is possible to predict the drug response of patients before drug treatment. Not only domestic but also overseas Food and Drug Administratio (FDA) recommends the development of the CDx system at the stage of drug development to ensure the responsiveness and safety of medicines. In this study, I focused on the necessity of CDx development direction as well as CDx development status through literature review. Furthermore I also discussed CDx types according to the molecular diagnostic technology such as immunohistochemistry (IHC), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in situ hybridization (ISH), and next-generation sequencing (NGS) not only in the approved CDx but also in the developing one by US FDA. And I suggested the technology issue of CDx development process such as a selection of molecular diagnostics at the time of release, a clear understanding of the CDx mechanism, and a convergence of drug with CDx development. The necessity of social insurance system also was proposed for CDx development.

악성종양은 양성종양과 달리 전이가 가능하고 재발이 쉬울 뿐 아니라 생존율 및 삶의 질이 떨어지는 질환이다. 국내의 경우 악성종양 치료 시 건강보험심사평가원이 제시한 항암화학요법 일반원칙에 따라 일괄적으로 치료하는 경향이 있다. 하지만 근래에는 일방적인 약물치료보다는 동반진단제를 사용을 권고하는데 이는 바이오마커를 이용한 분자진단기법으로 동반진단하여 치료 전에 환자의 약물 반응을 예측할 수 있기 때문이며, 국내외 식품의약품안전처에서는 의약품의 반응성 및 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 신약개발단계에서 동반진단제를 함께 개발하기를 권고한다. 본 종설에서는 악성 고형암을 중심으로 동반진단제의 개발방향 및 개발현황을 문헌고찰을 통해 분석하였고, 동반진단제로 사용되는 다양한 분자진단기법, 예컨대 면역조직화학염색법, 중합효소연쇄반응법, 제자리부합법, 차세대염기서열분석법 등에 따른 동반진단제 개발현황 및 미국 식품의약품안전청의 승인사례를 조사하여 최신 동반진단 개발동향을 함께 살폈다. 그리고 동반진단제 개발과정에서 기술적 사항으로 허가시점에 맞춘 분자진단기술을 선택과 진단제에 대한 명확한 기전이해와 더불어 치료와 동반진단제의 융합을 제언하였고, 사회적으로 동반진단제에 대한 공공보험의 급여책정이 필요함을 제언하였다.
