Abstract
Background—
Pharmacogenetic-guided dosing of warfarin is a promising application of “personalized medicine” but has not been adequately tested in randomized trials.
Methods and Results—
Consenting patients (n=206) being initiated on warfarin were randomized to pharmacogenetic-guided or standard dosing. Buccal swab DNA was genotyped for
CYP2C9
*2 and
CYP2C9 *
3 and
VKORC1
C1173T with a rapid assay. Standard dosing followed an empirical protocol, whereas pharmacogenetic-guided dosing followed a regression equation including the 3 genetic variants and age, sex, and weight. Prothrombin time international normalized ratio (INR) was measured routinely on days 0, 3, 5, 8, 21, 60, and 90. A research pharmacist unblinded to treatment strategy managed dose adjustments. Patients were followed up for up to 3 months. Pharmacogenetic-guided predicted doses more accurately approximated stable doses (
P
<0.001), resulting in smaller (
P
=0.002) and fewer (
P
=0.03) dosing changes and INRs (
P
=0.06). However, percent out-of-range INRs (pharmacogenetic=30.7%, standard=33.1%), the primary end point, did not differ significantly between arms. Despite this, when restricted to wild-type patients (who required larger doses;
P
=0.001) and multiple variant carriers (who required smaller doses;
P
<0.001) in exploratory analyses, results (pharmacogenetic=29%, standard=39%) achieved nominal significance (
P
=0.03). Multiple variant allele carriers were at increased risk of an INR of ≥4 (
P
=0.03).
Conclusions—
An algorithm guided by pharmacogenetic and clinical factors improved the accuracy and efficiency of warfarin dose initiation. Despite this, the primary end point of a reduction in out-of-range INRs was not achieved. In subset analyses, pharmacogenetic guidance showed promise for wild-type and multiple variant genotypes.
