Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Men and women at least 65 years old
  2. Beginning warfarin (0 - 3 doses of warfarin taken at the time of enrollment) for a variety of diseases or conditions that require at least 30 days oral anticoagulation with target INR ≥ 2.0

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Unable to complete the study materials (questionnaires) with or without assistance (for example, those with dementia)
  2. A previous genetically determined warfarin dose
  3. The treating physician does not agree to use the recommended warfarin dose or feels that the patient should not be enrolled in the study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Randomized - Genetic

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of warfarin related clinical events
Time Frame: 30 days
To determine if using warfarin-related pharmacogenetic information in calculating warfarin doses will change the incidence of warfarin-related clinical events, including major hemorrhage and thromboembolic events, at 30 days after initial dose, when compared to warfarin doses calculated without pharmacogenetic data.
30 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
INR Tests
Time Frame: 30 days
Comparison of the number of INR tests performed before warfarin dose stabilization (i.e. two consecutive INR tests within the target range)
30 days
Warfarin Doses
Time Frame: 90 days
Comparison of the cumulative warfarin dose necessary to reach warfarin dose stabilization (i.e. two consecutive INR tests within the target range)
90 days
Hemorrhagic Events
Time Frame: 90 days
The number of major hemorrhagic adverse events at 60 and at 90 days separately after warfarin initiation
90 days
Minor hemorrhagic events
Time Frame: 90 days
The number of minor hemorrhagic adverse events at 30, 60 and at 90 days separately after warfarin initiation
90 days
Major thromboembolic events
Time Frame: 90 days
The number of major thromboembolic adverse events at 60 and at 90 days separately after warfarin initiation for
90 days
INR tests
Time Frame: 30 days
The percentage of the total INR tests performed in the first 30 days which are out of target range
30 days
SF-12
Time Frame: 90 days
The overall, Physical Composite Score (PCS) and Mental Composite Score (MCS) of the SF-12 quality of life questionnaire at 30 days and at 90 days separately after warfarin initiation
90 days
Prescriber adherence
Time Frame: 30 days
Prescriber adherence to dosing recommendations through subject interview and comparison of dose recommendation to dose prescribed for the first four doses of warfarin
30 days
