Association Between Genetic Variant Scores and Warfarin Effect (AWARE1)

February 14, 2023 updated by: Cipherome, Inc.

Association Between Risk Scores for Genetic Variants and Percentage of Time in Therapeutic Range for Participants With Atrial Fibrillation, Deep Vein Thrombosis, and/or Intracardiac Thrombosis Taking Warfarin

Study objective is to determine whether there is an association between genetic variant risk scores and clinical outcomes (percent time in therapeutic range, time to reach therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR), INR ≥ 4, bleeding event, ischemic stroke, death) in participants taking warfarin for atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and/or intracardiac thrombosis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

It is anticipated that next generation genomic sequencing will identify rare genetic variants in ethnically diverse populations, which otherwise would not have been detected using commercially available warfarin tests. Furthermore, retrospective review of clinical outcomes (percent time in therapeutic range, time to reach therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR), INR ≥ 4, major bleeding event, ischemic stroke) of study participants will determine the clinical utility of genetic variant risk scores. Study outcomes will provide guidance on future directions for optimizing dosing algorithms for warfarin that combine pharmacogenetic principles with clinical dosing.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

  1. Participants with a known disease that predisposes them to bleeding will be excluded, since it will be a confounder (trying to link abnormal genetic variant risk score to bleeding).
  2. Participants taking medications or on a diet that increases bleeding propensity will also be excluded.
  3. Pediatric participants will be excluded from this study, since atrial fibrillation and/or venous thromboembolism are rare in this cohort.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Non-valvular atrial fibrillation
  2. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE) with no hypercoagulable condition
  3. Non-valvular atrial fibrillation and DVT/PE (with no hypercoagulable condition)
  4. Intracardiac thrombosis (i.e. apical thrombosis, atrial thrombosis, auricular thrombosis, mural thrombosis, and/or ventricular thrombosis)
  5. Age 18-99 years
  6. Signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Presence of a mechanical heart valve
  2. Failure to provide signed informed consent
  3. Known diseases that affects coagulation test results such as vitamin K deficiency, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, Von Willebrand disease, hemophilia, liver failure, etc.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent time in therapeutic range during initial 12 weeks of warfarin
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Within the 12 weeks of treatment, this is the percentage of time that a given participant is within the therapeutic range (e.g. participant is in therapeutic range 75% of time/12 weeks of measurement)
12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to reach therapeutic INR
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Time needed to achieve first INR within the range of 2 to 3, provided that subsequent INR ≥ 7 days later was also within the range of 2 to 3
12 weeks
INR ≥ 4.0 during first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Time greater than the desired INR therapeutic range within the first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy
12 weeks
Ischemic stroke
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Development of a clinical diagnosis of an ischemic stroke
12 weeks
Major bleeding event during first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Development of a major bleeding event during the first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy, diagnosed by a clinician
12 weeks
Clinically relevant non-major bleeding event during the first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Development of a clinically relevant non-major bleeding event during the first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy, diagnosed by a clinician
12 weeks
