Trial summary

The use of coumarins has been a challenge for doctors because of its narrow therapeutic range and they show great inter and intra-individual variability in the dose necessary to achieve an international normalized ratio (INR) within the therapeutic range. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Creation and Validation of a Pharmacogenetic Dosage Algorithm for Acenocoumarol in Patients With Venous Thromboembolic Disease, Atrial Fibrillation and/or Mechanical Valvular Heart Prosthesis

The use of coumarins has been a challenge for doctors because of its narrow therapeutic range and they show great inter and intra-individual variability in the dose necessary to achieve an international normalized ratio (INR) within the therapeutic range. Among the factors influencing the interindividual variability in the dose required include age, weight, Vitamin K in the diet, comorbidity as well as drug interactions and in recent years has also seen the importance of pharmacogenetic factors.

Read the detailed description

Demographic and clinical factors contribute approximately 20% to the total variability of dose requirements. In recent years it has highlighted the close relationship between the dose requirements of coumarin drugs and certain polymorphisms of genes involved in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these drugs. The use of dosing algorithms that include pharmacogenetic information may help in the dose selection, improving efficacy and reducing adverse events. Studies have shown the relationship between genotype variants of CYP2C9 and VKORC1, CYP4F2 and apolipoprotein E (ApoE), which together with the demographic and clinical variants can explain between 50-60% of the variability in the response to these drugs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation and Venous Thromboses, run by Instituto de Investigación Hospital Universitario La Paz at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Creation of a pharmacogenetic algorithm of dosage for acenocoumarol (time frame: Up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jan 2017.
