Abstract

Background. The role of predictive medicine in the formation of future healthcare is analyzed. It is emphasized that among various forecasting methodologies, such as genomics, proteomics and cytomics, the most fundamental method of predicting future diseases is based on genetics. Ethical problems associated with personal responsibility caused by epigenetic tests for predicting the risk of developing diseases are considered. The purpose of the study is to analyze the trend of development of predictive medicine taking into account possible risks and ethical considerations. 

Materials and methods. Based on literature sources and systematic reviews, a theoretical analysis was conducted and information was summarized on the role of predictive medicine in the formation of future healthcare, as well as on the fundamental method of predicting future diseases - genetics.
The results of the study were systematized using databases of scientific periodicals: PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, etc. Classical methods of searching and systematizing information were used at different stages of the study.
Results. Developing new treatments with predictive biomarkers to identify patients most or least likely to benefit complicates drug development, even though for many new cancer drugs it is the only scientifically sound approach that should increase the chances of success. Predictive medicine can lead to greater consistency in trial outcomes and has clear advantages in reducing the number of patients who end up receiving expensive drugs that put them at risk of side effects but do not provide benefits.
Conclusions. Predictive medicine has great potential for controlling public health costs. Developing treatments using predictive biomarkers requires major changes in the standard paradigms for planning and analyzing clinical trials. Some of the key assumptions on which current methods are based are no longer valid. The use of predictive medicine methods requires a review of a number of new clinical trial designs for the joint development of treatments and prognostic biomarkers, above all requiring careful prospective planning. It can become the basis for a new generation of predictive clinical trials that provide reliable individualized information.
