1 New Horizons in Anticoagulation: The Way of the Future Gloria Grice Pharm.D., BCPS St. Louis College of Pharmacy & Barnes-Jewish Hospital Anticoagulation Service Disclosure The speaker has nothing to disclose in relation to this presentation Outline How polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) affect warfarin metabolism How polymorphisms in vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1) affect warfarin sensitivity Retrospective and prospective studies for warfarin initiation and refinement Advantages and disadvantages to pharmacogenetic testing New anticoagulants in development

2 Challenges of Warfarin Management Narrow therapeutic index Adverse effect profile Black box warning for bleeding 2 nd highest drug causing adverse events among outpatients Wide dose variability Long time to achieving therapeutic INR Clinical Predictors of Warfarin Response Age Drug interactions Alcohol Diet Hepatic dysfunction Gender BMI Ethnicity/Race Fever Changes in thyroid status Decompensated heart failure Multiple medical conditions Nutritional status Blood Loss Genotype Warfarin CYP1A1 CYP1A2 CYP3A4 R-warfarin Vitamin K Reductase S-warfarin CYP2C9 Oxidized Vitamin K Reduced Vitamin K Hypofunctional F.

3 Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) 12+ polymorphisms in the CYP2C9 gene have been identified The two most common alleles (*2 and *3) decrease the clearance of S-warfarin 17% to 37% 2-3 fold elevated risk of adverse events during initiation Vitamin K Epoxide Reductase (VKORC1) Determines sensitivity of warfarin Several polymorphisms have been identified Low-dose (haplotype 1-2, haplotype A, AA, TT ) High-dose (haplotype 7-9, haplotype B, GG, CC ) Effect of Genotype on Dose CYP2C9 M ean warfarin dose, m g /d *1/*1 *1/*2 *1/*3 *1/*5 *2/*2 *2/*3 *3/*3 VKORC Genotype VKORC1 Warfarin Dose (mg/d) GG (37%) 6.2 AG (47%) 4.8 AA (16%) 3.5 Gage et al.

9 Clinical Pearls Patients with SNPs in CYP2C9 Lower than expected maintenance doses INRs rise slowly if start with maintenance dose Require loading dose (or 2?) Consideration of genotype needed throughout therapy High INRs treated more aggressively May need to load again after sub-therapeutic INR Patients with SNPs in VKORC1 Lower or higher than expected maintenance dose Initiate with expected maintenance dose Genotype effect limited once therapeutic Advantages of PG More Predictable/Less Variability ( personalized medicine ) Easier for Clinician Management Fewer surprises Website, dosing algorithms available Additional variable Genetic platforms available Patient acceptance high FDA Advisory Improves Patient Outcomes? Barriers to PG No multi-centered RCT - (NIH has funding- to begin this spring) Unknown benefit in some patient populations Cost Availability Clinician knowledge Potential delay in warfarin initiation
