Background: The direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have growing utility in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and venous thromboembolic disorders. Major bleeding and thrombotic complications occur in 1-3% of patients. A number of enzymes including CYP450 contribute to the absorption and metabolism of DOACs. CYP450 activity varies among individuals and is susceptible to inhibition and induction via drug-drug interactions. Utilizing pharmacogenomics (PGx) in DOACs dosing may lead to lower bleeding and thrombotic complications.
Aims: We evaluated the association of bleeding and thrombosis complications in subjects on DOACs with specific pharmacogenomics variations.
Methods: We analyze pharmacogenomics data of subjects enrolled in the “Right 10k Study” and on one of the DOACs.
Results: There are 10,036 patients with baseline PGx data enrolled in the Mayo Clinic “Right10k Study”. 294 patients used DOACs, mean age was 73, and 46.9% were female. 66.3 % (195/294) used apixaban, 33.7% (99/294) used rivaroxaban, and 7.1% (21/294) used dabigatran. 21 patients used more than 1 DOAC over the course of treatment for the qualifying condition. AF was the most common indication for DOAC use (71.8%). There were (46) subjects experienced bleeding and (39) have thrombotic complications. Among bleeding complications, 19 developed GI bleeding, 6 developed intracranial hemorrhage, and the remainder had clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding. Among thrombotic complications, 20 developed DVTs/PEs, 4 superficial thromboses, and the remainder were strokes/TIAs. No significant differences with respect to age, gender, DOAC, cancer history were seen between those without complication while on therapy. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or greater was associated with significantly higher rates of bleeding (p=0.018).
Conclusions: Patient genotype was not associated with increased risk of bleeding or thrombotic complications while on DOACs. Patients with CKD were significantly more likely to have major bleeding on DOACs.
