Objective To investigate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors associated with population differences in warfarin doses needed to achieve anticoagulation, particular the possible involvement of genetic variability vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) CYP2C9. Methods Warfarin maintenance dose, unbound plasma S-warfarin concentration [Cu(S)] INR were determined 157 Caucasians, 172 Japanese, 36 African-Americans stably anticoagulated patients. In a subset (n=166), fully carboxylated normal...

The objective of this study was to determine whether, in African-American patients, additional vitamin K oxidoreductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1), cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9), CYP4F2, or apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms contribute variability the warfarin maintenance dose beyond what is attributable CYP2C9*2 and *3 alleles VKORC1 −1639G>A genotype. In a cohort 226 weekly requirements were lower those with CYP2C9*8 allele (34 (30–47) mg; P = 0.023) CYP2C9 *2, *3, *5, *6, *11 (33(28–40...

Recent clinical trial data cast doubt on the utility of genotype-guided warfarin dosing, specifically showing worse dosing with a pharmacogenetic versus algorithm in African Americans. However, many genotypes important Americans were not accounted for. We aimed to determine whether omission CYP2C9*5, CYP2C9*6, CYP2C9*8, CYP2C9*11 alleles and rs12777823 G > A genotype affects performance algorithms Americans.In cohort 274 warfarin-treated Americans, we examined association between dose...

Objective: To provide recommendations, policies, and procedures pertaining to the provision of optimized anticoagulation therapy designed achieve desired clinical endpoints while minimizing risk anticoagulant-related adverse outcomes (principally bleeding thrombosis). Study Selection Data Extraction: Due this document's scope, medical literature was searched using a variety strategies. When possible, recommendations are supported by available evidence; however, because paper deals with...

The cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 R150H (*8) allele occurs commonly in African Americans and is associated with lower warfarin dose requirements. We conducted a pharmacokinetic study to examine whether the CYP2C9*8 impacts clearance African-American patients. also an vitro kinetic of S-warfarin 7-hydroxylation using complementary DNA (cDNA)-expressed CYP2C9 enzymes. observed 30% reduction unbound oral 25% R- plasma concentration ratio patients (n = 12) as compared CYP2C9*1 homozygotes 26)....

Background:Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprised of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is commonly treated with a low-molecular-weight heparin such as enoxaparin plus vitamin K antagonist (VKA) to prevent recurrence. Administration + VKA hampered by complexities laboratory monitoring frequent dose adjustments. Rivaroxaban, an orally administered anticoagulant, has been compared in the EINSTEIN trials. The objective was evaluate cost-effectiveness rivaroxaban...
