Influence Of CYP2C19 Genotypes Research Articles

Interaction of age and CYP2C19 genotypes on voriconazole steady-state trough concentration in Chinese patients.

Both age and CYP2C19 genotypes affect voriconazole plasma concentration; the interaction of age and CYP2C19 genotypes on voriconazole plasma concentration remains unknown. This study aims to investigate the combined effects of age and CYP2C19 genotypes on voriconazole plasma concentration in Chinese patients. A total of 480 patients who received voriconazole treatment were recruited. CYP2C19*2 (rs4244285) and CYP2C19*3 (rs4986893) polymorphisms were genotyped. Patients were divided into the young and the elderly groups by age of 60 years old. Influence of CYP2C19 genotype on steady-state trough concentration (Css-min) in overall patients and in age subgroups was analyzed. Voriconazole Css-min correlated positively with age, and mean voriconazole Css-min was significantly higher in the elderly group (P < 0.001). CYP2C19 poor metabolizers showed significantly increased mean voriconazole Css-min in the young but not the elderly group. The percentage of patients with subtherapeutic voriconazole Css-min (<1.0 mg/l) was higher in the young group and that of supratherapeutic voriconazole Css-min (>5.5 mg/l) was higher in the elderly patients. When the average Css-min in the CYP2C19 normal metabolizer genotype was regarded as a reference, CYP2C19 genotypes showed greater impact on voriconazole Css-min in the young group, while the influence of age on voriconazole Css-min exceeded CYP2C19 genotypes in the elderly. CYP2C19 genotypes affects voriconazole exposure is age dependent. Influence of CYP2C19 poor metabolizer genotype on increased voriconazoleexposure is prominent in the young, while age is a more important determinant factor for increased voriconazole exposure in the elderly patients.

Influence of CYP2C19 genotype on antiplatelet treatment outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with coronary heart disease.

The aim of the study was to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in patients with coronary heart disease one year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and to explore their association with the CYP2C19 gene polymorphism. A total of 971 patients with coronary heart disease who were hospitalized and underwent PCI from April 2016 to May 2017 were studied. All 971 patients were divided into three subgroups according to CYP2C19 gene types as fast metabolizing, slow metabolizing and very slow metabolizing type. Patients were also classified according to the oral antiplatelet aggregation drugs they received: clopidogrel group and ticagrelor group. The incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and bleeding events in the clopidogrel-treated and ticagrelor-treated groups and in patients with fast, slow, and very slow CYP2C19 metabolisms were compared. Binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to analyze the risk factors associated with MACEs and hemorrhagic events. Patients on ticagrelor had a greater number of bleeding complications compared to those on clopidogrel (P<0.001), with no difference in MACE between the two groups (P=0.399). The incidence of MACE was significantly higher in very slow metabolizing patients receiving clopidogrel (P<0.001) while the incidence of bleeding complications was significantly higher in fast metabolizing patients receiving ticagrelor (P<0.001). The regression analysis revealed that the CYP2C19 gene mutation, a dual-antiplatelet therapy, and a stroke history were all significantly associated with MACE. By contrast, a dual-antiplatelet therapy and a stroke history were significantly associated with bleeding events. Findings of the present study indicated that clopidogrel and ticagrelor were equally efficacious post-PCI. Efficacy of clopidogrel was reduced in patients with very slow CYP2C19 genotype while bleeding complications were higher in patients with fast CYP2C19 genotype receiving ticagrelor. CYP2C19 genotyping may be used to provide guidance to optimize individual antiplatelet treatment.

Influence of CYP2C19 Genotypes on the Occurrence of Adverse Drug Reactions of Voriconazole among Hematological Patients after Allo-HSCT

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of different CYP2C19 genotypes on selected liver function parameters, and ADR occurrence during VCZ prophylaxis in adult patients after allo-HSCT (allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation). CYP2C19 mutations were determined in a cohort of 30 adults using PCR-RFLP methods established by Sim et al. and Goldstein and Blaisdell. The patients’ protocol included biometrical and biochemical data, information on the underlying disease, chemotherapy, molds infections occurring during VCZ treatment, adverse drug reactions typical for the use of voriconazole, and probable drug - drug interactions. The observation and reporting of ADR took place from the −1 until the +20th day of VCZ therapy. For statistical analysis the χ2 test was used (p < 0.05). Among the examined patients 23 suffered from at least one side effect during VCZ therapy. Most frequent ADR were gastrointestinal disturbances (n = 15), nervous system (n = 11) and skin (n = 7) disorders. Patients with at least one loss of function allele (*2) were more likely to experience adverse drug reactions than those, with different genotypes. Due to the limited number of patients the result could not be proven with a statistical significance. Previous determination of CYP2C19 genotype may be a useful tool for prevention of adverse drug reactions during VCZ prophylaxis among patients after allo-HSCT.

Brivaracetam Single and Multiple Rising Oral Dose Study in Healthy Japanese Participants: Influence of CYP2C19 Genotype

Brivaracetam is a high-affinity synaptic vesicle protein 2A ligand, in phase 3 clinical development for epilepsy. A phase 1, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single (2.5-100 mg) and multiple (2.5-50 mg twice daily) rising oral dose study (N01209) was conducted to assess the adverse event profile and pharmacokinetics of brivaracetam in healthy Japanese men, and the influence of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 genotype. Plasma and urine were collected serially for analysis of brivaracetam and its three main metabolites: acid, hydroxy and hydroxy acid. Overall, 79/80 randomized participants completed the study. Brivaracetam was generally well tolerated. After single- and multiple-dose administration, brivaracetam was rapidly absorbed, with dose-proportional pharmacokinetics over the dose ranges tested. Steady state was reached after 2 days of repeated dosing. Brivaracetam clearance (averaged across the five single dose levels) was reduced from 0.99 mL/min/kg in homozygous extensive metabolizers (EM; n = 10) to 0.81 mL/min/kg (-18%) in heterozygous EM (n = 17) and 0.70 mL/min/kg (-29%) in poor metabolizers (PM; n = 9). Exposure and urinary excretion of hydroxy metabolite were reduced 10-fold in PM participants, compared with EM participants. Results suggest that brivaracetam is hydroxylated by CYP2C19, but this pathway is minor compared with hydrolysis to the acid metabolite.
