Applying Pharmacogenetics to Warfarin Dosing in Chinese Patients

描述
Warfarin is the most widely used oral anticoagulation drug for preventing and treating thromboembolic events, but there is greater than 10-fold interindividual variability in the dose required to attain a therapeutic response. In 2007, the US Food and Drug Administration updated the label of warfarin, recommending consideration of pharmacogenetic information which has been confirmed to contribute significantly to the variability in warfarin dose requirements. Thereafter, multiple pharmacogenetic dosing algorithms were constructed to predict warfarin dose by integrating clinical and genetic factors. Taken together, approximately between one-third and one- half of the variability in warfarin dose could be explained by the proposed algorithms. However, the potential benefit of these dosing algorithms in terms of their safety and clinical utility has not been adequately investigated in randomised settings in Chinese patients.
Study objectives:
1. To apply routine pharmacogenetic (PG)-guided dosing of warfarin in clinical practice in Chinese patients.
2. To compare the percentage out-of-range (%OOR) International Normalized Ratios (INRs) during the first 3 month of warfarin therapy using PG-guided dosing with historical standard (STD), empiric dosed controls.
3. To compare the cost effectiveness, number of thromboembolic and bleeding events, time within therapeutic INR range, time to reach stable dose and number of supratherapeutic INR peaks during the first 3 month of warfarin therapy using PG-guided dosing with historical standard (STD), empiric dosed controls.
Study design:
This is a prospective, randomized study of Chinese patients who are to initiate chronic warfarin anticoagulation for specific, qualifying clinical reasons (i.e., atrial fibrillation, Deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism, or Prosthetic valve replacement). Qualifying patients will be consented and randomized to an individualized, pharmacogenetic guided warfarin-dosing regimen (PG group) or to standard care (without knowledge of genotype)(STD group). All patients will receive a baseline INR. For patients in PG group, a maintenance dose for each patient will be predicted by the pharmacogenetic algorithm derived previously in Chinese. A maintenance dose of 3 mg/day will designed to each patients in STD group. The starting dose of warfarin that is twice the assigned daily maintenance dose will be prescribed on the first and second days, and then the dose will revert to the assigned maintenance dose.
Study duration:
Each patient will participate for at least 3 months.

| Experimental: Genotype-guided warfarin dosing A pharmacogenetic dosing algorithm including clinical factors and genotype information (VKORC1, CYP2C9 and CYP4F2) will be used to determine warfarin doses. | Other: Genotype-guided warfarin dosing Applying a Pharmacogenetic-guided warfarin dosing algorithm derived from Chinese to determine the daily maintenance dose of warfarin, based on clinical factors (age, sex, body surface area, etc.), and VKORC1, CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 genotypes, to individualize the dosing of warfarin. |
| Active Comparator: Non-genotype guided warfarin dosing A fixed warfarin dose of 3 mg/day was given to the patients for at least 3 days. Following doses were adjusted according to the INR measurement. | Other: Non-genotype guided warfarin dosing A Empiric fixed warfarin dose of 3 mg/day was given to the patients for at least 3 days. Following doses were adjusted according to the INR measurement. |
