Amiodarone, which inhibits CYP2C9 and P-glycoprotein, is commonly prescribed with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) and polypharmacy in high-risk atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.
Polymorphisms in the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1) and cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) genes increase the bleeding risk in anticoagulated atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.
This study aims to compare clinical and economic outcomes of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotype-guided (PG-DOAC) versus universal use of direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
The model confirmed CYP2C9 and VKORC1 variants as the major predictors of variability in phenprocoumon concentrations and effects, together with body weight, age, comedication with CYP3A modifiers (i.e. inhibitors or inducers) and presence of atrial fibrillation.
We conducted two single-blind, randomized trials comparing a genotype-guided dosing algorithm that included clinical variables and genotyping for CYP2C9 and VKORC1 with a dosing algorithm that included only clinical variables, for the initiation of acenocoumarol or phenprocoumon treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism.
