简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether DNA analysis improves the efficiency of dosing and safety in patients who are being started on warfarin therapy.Warfarin, a blood thinner (anticoagulant) prescribed to 1-2 million patients in the United States, is a leading cause of drug-related adverse events (e.g., severe bleeding), in large part due to dramatic (20-fold) differences between individuals in dose requirements. At least half of this variability now can be explained by 3 common genetic variants, age, body size, and sex; however, warfarin therapy continues to begin with the same dose in every patient with the correct individual dose determined by trial and error. This study proposes to determine genetic variations the same day from DNA simply obtained by swabbing the inside of the cheek and use this information to determine the proper dose regimen individually in each patient. The aim is to show that the investigators can achieve more rapid, efficient, and safe dosing in up to 500-1000 individuals who are initiating warfarin therapy for various clotting disorders across a large healthcare system in order to demonstrate improved dosing effectiveness, efficiency, and safety with genetic-based dosing, which could lead to a nationwide application resulting in as much as a $1 billion dollar annual benefit in healthcare outcomes.
详细描述
Study Objectives:
The specific objectives of CoumaGen-II to be tested are:
- To apply routine pharmacogenetic (PG)-guided dosing of warfarin in clinical practice at Intermountain Healthcare facilities in the Urban Central Region (i.e., Intermountain Medical Center [IMC], LDS Hospital, Alta View Hospital [AVH]), and selected physician offices that are frequent initiators of warfarin) in a major new quality improvement and clinical research initiative.
- To compare the percentage out-of-range (%OOR) international normalized prothrombin time ratios (INRs) during the first month (and secondarily, 3 months) of warfarin therapy using PG-guided dosing with parallel or historical standard (STD), empiric dosed controls.
- To compare a modified PG-guided dosing algorithm (modified-International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium [IWPC]) with a previously generated and validated, multicenter PG-guided algorithm (IWPC).
Study Design:
Qualifying patients being initiated on warfarin therapy with a target INR of 1.5-2.5, 2-3, or 2.5-3.5 will be invited to participate and sign informed consent. Enrolled patients will receive DNA sampling by buccal swab, and samples will be processed and a PG-guided initial dose calculated with a goal of <6 hours (maximum, 24 hours). Dosing and dose adjustments will be managed through the Urban Central Region (IMC/LDSH) anticoagulation management service (AMS). Dose adjustments through day 8 will use a PG-modified algorithm, after which modification will revert to the standard IHC algorithm. AMS pharmacists and study coordinators will ascertain warfarin doses, INRs, dose changes, and adverse events, and record information on case report forms.

入选标准
- •New participants will be those >=18 years old who are appropriate candidates for and being initiated on warfarin therapy with target international normalized prothrombin time ratio (INR) range of either 2-3 or 2.5-3.5 and with intent to be treated for at least 1 month and willing to sign informed consent.
- •Those with target INR 2.5-3.5 may be enrolled with dose adjustment for this higher target per Gage et-al. (i.e., 11% increase in dose).
- •Dose modification also will be made for amiodarone based on prior, published experience (i.e., 22% decrease in dose).
排除标准
- •Those not appropriate for warfarin (e.g., pregnancy) or for pharmacogenetic (PG)-guided dosing for any reason,
- •Those having received rifampin within 3 weeks,
- •Those with severe co-morbidities (e.g., creatinine > 2.5,hepatic insufficiency, active malignancy, advanced physiological age, noncompliance risk, expected survival <6 months), and
- •Physician or patient preference.
结局指标
主要结局
The Percent of Out of Range (OOR) International Normalized Prothrombin Time Ratio (INRs) in the Standard and Modified Pharmacogenetic Arms.
时间窗: 1 month (from day 3 to day 30)
The percent of out of range (OOR) international normalized prothrombin time ratio (INRs) in the standard and modified pharmacogentic algorithms at 1 month. To account for laboratory INR-measurement error, a 10% margin outside of the target range was allowed in determination of OOR values, ie, INRs \<1.8, \>3.3 for INR 2.5 target; \<2.25, \>3.85 for INR 3.0 target. What is reported is the percent of patients with an OOR INR at 1 month.
The Percent of Out of Range (OOR) INRs in Pharmacogenetic-guided Patients and Parallel Controls
时间窗: 1 month (from day 3 to day 30)
The percent of out of range (OOR) INRs in the pharmacogenetic (PG)-dosing (standard + modified IWPC warfarin algorithms) and parallel controls. A 10% margin outside of the target INR range was allowed in determination of OOR values, ie, INRs \<1.8, \>3.3 for INR 2.5 target; \<2.25, \>3.85 for INR 3.0 target. What is reported is the percent of patients with OOR INRs at 1 month.
The Percent of Time in Therapeutic Range (TTR) for the Standard and Modified Pharmacogenetic Algorithms.
时间窗: 1 month (from baseline to day 30)
The percent of time in therapeutic INR range for the standard and modified pharmacogenetic algorithms at 1 month. To account for laboratory INR-measurement error, a 10% margin inside of the target range was allowed in determine TTR values, ie, INRs 1.8-3.3 for INR 2.5 target; 2.25-3.85 for INR 3.0 target.
