Background STE and NSTE-ACS DAPT (ASA + P2Y 12 inhibitor) is standard of care Prasugrel and ticagrelor are more effective than clopidogrel However, associated with a greater risk of bleeding ACC/AHA provide weak recommendations (IIa, LOE B-R) to use prasugrel and ticagrelor first-line Clopidogrel is still used in 60-70% of patients Clopidogrel has variable response due to genetic polymorphisms CYP2C19 and ABCB1 STE-ACS or NSTE-ACS ST-Segment Elevation or Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome DAPT Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Wallentin L et al.

Trial Critiques Strengths Weaknesses 1. High-risk patient population 1. Lack of safety outcomes 2. Propensity score matching and IPTW odds 2. Residual confounding 3. Real-world population with efficient application of genotypic results 4. Outcome measures were of clinical importance 5. Impact of CYP2C19 intermediate metabolizers on MACE 3. Rapid CYP2C19 genotypic testing is not widely available 4. No direct comparison of CYP2C19 normal or extensive metabolizers prescribed clopidogrel to those prescribed an alternative P2Y 12 inhibitor 5. Impact of genotypic testing prior to elective PCI remains unknown MACE Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event ACS Acute Coronary Syndrome PCI Percutaneous Coronary Intervention CAD Coronary artery disease LOF Loss of Function
Impact Validates the feasibility of incorporating CYP2C19 genotypic testing into clinical practice on a broader scale Adds to the existing evidence supporting the use of genotype-guided therapy in patients presenting for PCI following ACS to prevent MACE Highlights the importance of genotypic-guided therapy in intermediate metabolizers with a single LOF allele, stressing a need for more critical evaluation of these patients PCI Percutaneous Coronary Intervention ACS Acute Coronary Syndrome MACE Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event LOF Loss of Function CAD Coronary artery disease

Critique Strengths ST Q3 Instrument allows for genotype results within 70 minutes Offer a protocol for implementing clinical decision-making Clinically meaningful endpoint examined Limitations Only 25% of pre-specified population enrolled ST Q3 instrument is not standard of care genotyping instrument Magnitude of benefit higher than would be expected Limited generalizability of patient population ( European descent )
Conclusions Point-of-care genotyping with protocolized decision making is feasible Combining genotype data along with patient specific clinical characteristics appears to be effective in improving outcomes Replication of results in other trials with reliable devices and more diverse patient population needed prior to wide acceptance of pointof-care genotyping in the setting of acute coronary syndrome
M&M s Take-Home Points* If readily available, it is reasonable to consider routine CYP2C19 genotyping in all patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (Class IIa; LOE B) If readily available, routine CYP2C19 genotyping may be considered in all patients presenting for elective percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting (Class IIb; LOE B) In CYP2C19 poor metabolizers, prasugrel and ticagrelor should be considered as first line agents unless contraindications exist (Class I; LOE A) In CYP2C19 intermediate metabolizers, prasugrel and ticagrelor should be considered as first line agents unless contraindications exist (Class I; LOE A) If CYP2C19 genotyping is utilized, institution-specific protocols should be developed to guide P2Y 12 inhibitor selection (Class I; LOE C) *Disclaimer: these are the recommendations put forth by pharmacy residents with limited experience in the field.
