Third column shows our opinion on the level of evidence considering CYP3A4*22 based dosing in corresponding drug treatment [green: sufficient evidence, orange: more evidence is needed to fully establish clinical value, red: too limited (non-significant) evidence]. Trends are marked with an asterisk (*). AUC, area under the plasma concentration-time curve; C, plasma concentration (not specified); C0, trough concentration; C0/D, dose-adjusted trough concentration; Cl, Clearance; Css, steady-state concentration; D, required dose; OR: odds ratio.
