RESUMEN
Hypertensive patients with a higher proportion of genetic West African ancestry (%GWAA) have better blood pressure (BP) response to thiazide diuretics (TDs) and worse response to ß-blockers (BBs) than those with lower %GWAA, associated with their lower plasma renin activity (PRA). TDs and BBs are suggested to reduce BP in the long term through vasodilation via incompletely understood mechanisms. This study aimed at identifying pathways underlying ancestral differences in PRA, which might reflect pathways underlying BP-lowering mechanisms of TDs and BBs. Among hypertensive participants enrolled in the Pharmacogenomics Evaluation of Antihypertensive Responses (PEAR) and PEAR-2 trials, we previously identified 8 metabolites associated with baseline PRA and 4 metabolic clusters (including 39 metabolites) that are different between those with GWAA <45% versus ≥45%. In the current study, using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), we integrated these signals. Three overlapping metabolic signals within three significantly enriched pathways were identified as associated with both PRA and %GWAA: ceramide signaling, sphingosine 1- phosphate signaling, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase signaling. Literature indicates that the identified pathways are involved in the regulation of the Rho kinase cascade, production of the vasoactive agents nitric oxide, prostacyclin, thromboxane A2, and endothelin 1; the pathways proposed to underlie TD- and BB-induced vasodilatation. These findings may improve our understanding of the BP-lowering mechanisms of TDs and BBs. This might provide a possible step forward in personalizing antihypertensive therapy by identifying patients expected to have robust BP-lowering effects from these drugs.

Hydrocodone, tramadol, codeine, and oxycodone are commonly prescribed opioids that rely on activation by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6). CYP2D6 inhibitors can significantly decrease CYP2D6 activity, leading to reduced generation of active metabolites, and impairing pain control. To understand this impact, we assessed emergency department (ED) visits in patients initiating these CYP2D6-dependent opioids while on CYP2D6-inhibitor antidepressants vs. antidepressants that do not inhibit CYP2D6. This retrospective cohort study included adult patients prescribed CYP2D6-dependent opioids utilizing electronic health records data from the University of Florida Health (2015-2021). The association between ED visits and inhibitor exposure was tested using multivariable logistic regression. The primary analysis had 12,118 patients (72% female; mean (SD) age, 55 (13.4)) in the hydrocodone/tramadol/codeine cohort and 5,547 patients (64% female; mean (SD) age, 53.6 (14.2)) in the oxycodone cohort. Hydrocodone/tramadol/codeine-treated patients exposed to CYP2D6-inhibitor antidepressants (n = 7,043) had a higher crude rate of pain-related ED visits than those taking other antidepressants (n = 5,075) (3.28% vs. 1.87%), with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 1.75 (95% CI: 1.36 to 2.24). Similarly, in the oxycodone cohort, CYP2D6-inhibitor antidepressant-exposed individuals (n = 3,206) had a higher crude rate of ED visits than individuals exposed to other antidepressants (n = 2,341) (5.02% vs. 3.37%), with aOR of 1.70 (95% CI: 1.27-2.27). Similar findings were observed in secondary and sensitivity analyses. Our findings suggest patients with concomitant use of hydrocodone/tramadol/codeine or oxycodone and CYP2D6 inhibitors have more frequent ED visits for pain, which may be due to inadequate pain control.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Thiazide diuretics are the second most frequently prescribed class of antihypertensives, but up to 50% of patients with hypertension have minimal antihypertensive response to thiazides. We explored circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in search of predictive biomarkers of thiazide response. METHODS AND RESULTS: We profiled 754 miRNAs in baseline plasma samples of 36 hypertensive European American adults treated with hydrochlorothiazide, categorized into responders (n=18) and nonresponders (n=18) on the basis of diastolic blood pressure response to hydrochlorothiazide. miRNAs with ≥2.5-fold differential expression between responders and nonresponders were considered for validation in 3 cohorts (n=50 each): hydrochlorothiazide-treated European Americans, chlorthalidone-treated European Americans, and hydrochlorothiazide-treated Black individuals. Different blood pressure phenotypes including categorical (responder versus nonresponder) and continuous diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure were tested for association with the candidate miRNA expression using multivariate regression analyses adjusting for age, sex, and baseline blood pressure. After quality control, 74 miRNAs were available for screening, 19 of which were considered for validation. In the validation cohort, miR-193b-3p and 30d-5p showed significant associations with continuous SBP or diastolic blood pressure response or both, to hydrochlorothiazide in European Americans at Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted P<0.05. In the combined analysis of validation cohorts, let-7g (odds ratio, 0.6 [95% CI, 0.4-0.8]), miR-142-3p (odds ratio, 1.1 [95% CI, 1.0, 1.2]), and miR-423-5p (odds ratio, 0.7 [95% CI, 0.5-0.9]) associated with categorical diastolic blood pressure response at Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted P<0.05. Predicted target genes of the 5 miRNAs were mapped to key hypertension pathways: lysine degradation, fatty acid biosynthesis, and metabolism. CONCLUSIONS: The above identified circulating miRNAs may have a potential for clinical use as biomarkers for thiazide diuretic selection in hypertension. REGISTRATION: URL: ClinicalTrials.gov.

BACKGROUND: An ABCD-GENE (age, body mass index, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and CYP2C19 genetic variants) score ≥10 predicts reduced clopidogrel effectiveness, but its association with response to alternative therapy remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between ABCD-GENE score and the effectiveness of clopidogrel vs alternative P2Y12 inhibitor (prasugrel or ticagrelor) therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: A total of 4,335 patients who underwent PCI, CYP2C19 genotyping, and P2Y12 inhibitor treatment were included. The primary outcome was major atherothrombotic events (MAE) within 1 year after PCI. Cox regression was performed to assess event risk in clopidogrel-treated (reference) vs alternatively treated patients, with stabilized inverse probability weights derived from exposure propensity scores after stratifying by ABCD-GENE score and further by CYP2C19 loss-of-function (LOF) genotype. RESULTS: Among patients with scores <10 (n = 3,200), MAE was not different with alternative therapy vs clopidogrel (weighted HR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.65-1.22; P = 0.475). The risk for MAE also did not significantly differ by treatment among patients with scores ≥10 (n = 1,135; weighted HR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.51-1.11; P = 0.155). Among CYP2C19 LOF allele carriers, MAE risk appeared lower with alternative therapy in both the group with scores <10 (weighted HR: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.25-1.01; P = 0.052) and the group with scores ≥10 (weighted HR: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.29-0.80; P = 0.004), while there was no difference in the group with scores <10 and no LOF alleles (weighted HR: 1.03; 95% CI: 0.70-1.51; P = 0.885). CONCLUSIONS: These data support the use of alternative therapy over clopidogrel in CYP2C19 LOF allele carriers after PCI, regardless of ABCD-GENE score, while clopidogrel is as effective as alternative therapy in non-LOF patients with scores <10.

BACKGROUND: Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) intermediate and poor metabolizer patients exhibit diminished clopidogrel clinical effectiveness after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, outcome studies to date have lacked racial diversity. Thus, the impact of CYP2C19 genotype on cardiovascular outcomes in patients treated with clopidogrel who identify as Black or African American remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: Adults among 5 institutions who self-identified as Black or African American, underwent PCI and clinical CYP2C19 genotyping, and were treated with clopidogrel were included. Data were abstracted from health records. Major atherothrombotic (composite of death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, stent thrombosis, or revascularization for unstable angina) and bleeding event rates within 1 year after PCI were compared across CYP2C19 metabolizer groups using multivariable Cox regression adjusted for potential confounders and baseline variables meeting a threshold of P<0.10. The population included 567 Black patients treated with clopidogrel (median age, 62 years; 46% women; 70% with an acute coronary syndrome indication for PCI). Major atherothrombotic events rates were significantly higher among clopidogrel-treated intermediate and poor metabolizers (24 of 125 [19.2%]) versus patients treated with clopidogrel without a no function allele (43 of 442 [9.7%]; 35.1 versus 15.9 events per 100 person-years; adjusted hazard ratio, 2.00 [95% CI, 1.20-3.33], P=0.008). Bleeding event rates were low overall (23 of 567 [4.1%]) and did not differ among the metabolizer groups. CONCLUSIONS: Black patients with CYP2C19 intermediate and poor metabolizer phenotypes who are treated with clopidogrel exhibit increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes after PCI in a real-world clinical setting. Bleeding outcomes should be interpreted cautiously. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether genotype-guided use of prasugrel or ticagrelor in intermediate and poor metabolizers improves outcomes in Black patients undergoing PCI.

Warfarin dose requirements are highly variable due to clinical and genetic factors. While genetic variants influencing warfarin dose have been identified in European and East Asian populations, more work is needed to identify African-specific genetic variants to help optimize warfarin dosing. We performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in four African cohorts from Uganda, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, totalling 989 warfarin-treated participants who reached stable dose and had international normalized ratios within therapeutic ranges. We also included two African American cohorts recruited by the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium (n=316) and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (n=199). Following the GWAS, we performed standard error-weighted meta-analyses and then conducted stepwise conditional analyses to account for known loci (the CYP2C cluster SNP rs12777823 and CYP2C9 in chromosome 10; VKORC1 in chromosome 16). The genome-wide significance threshold was set at P<5×10-8. The meta-analysis, comprising 1,504 participants identified 242 significant SNPs across three genomic loci, with 99.6% of these located within known loci on chromosomes 10 (top SNP: rs58800757, P=4.27×10-13) and 16 (top SNP: rs9925964, P=9.97×10-16). Adjustment for the VKORC1 SNP -1639G>A revealed an additional locus on chromosome 2 (top SNPs rs116057875/rs115254730/rs115240773, P=3.64×10-8), implicating the MALL gene, that could indirectly influence warfarin response through interactions with caveolin-1. In conclusion, our meta-analysis of six cohorts of warfarin-treated patients of African ancestry reaffirmed the importance of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 in influencing warfarin dose requirements. We also identified a new locus (MALL), that still requires direct evidence of biological plausibility.
RESUMEN
Chronic pain is a prevalent condition with enormous economic burden. Opioids such as tramadol, codeine, and hydrocodone are commonly used to treat chronic pain; these drugs are activated to more potent opioid receptor agonists by the hepatic CYP2D6 enzyme. Results from clinical studies and mechanistic understandings suggest that CYP2D6-guided therapy will improve pain control and reduce adverse drug events. However, CYP2D6 is rarely used in clinical practice due in part to the demand for additional clinical trial evidence. Thus, we designed the ADOPT-PGx (A Depression and Opioid Pragmatic Trial in Pharmacogenetics) chronic pain study, a multicenter, pragmatic, randomized controlled clinical trial, to assess the effect of CYP2D6 testing on pain management. The study enrolled 1048 participants who are taking or being considered for treatment with CYP2D6-impacted opioids for their chronic pain. Participants were randomized to receive immediate or delayed (by 6 months) genotyping of CYP2D6 with clinical decision support (CDS). CDS encouraged the providers to follow the CYP2D6-guided trial recommendations. The primary study outcome is the 3-month absolute change in the composite pain intensity score assessed using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures. Follow-up will be completed in July 2024. Herein, we describe the design of this trial along with challenges encountered during enrollment.

Specific selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) metabolism is strongly influenced by two pharmacogenes, CYP2D6 and CYP2C19. However, the effectiveness of prospectively using pharmacogenetic variants to select or dose SSRIs for depression is uncertain in routine clinical practice. The objective of this prospective, multicenter, pragmatic randomized controlled trial is to determine the effectiveness of genotype-guided selection and dosing of antidepressants on control of depression in participants who are 8 years or older with ≥3 months of depressive symptoms who require new or revised therapy. Those randomized to the intervention arm undergo pharmacogenetic testing at baseline and receive a pharmacy consult and/or automated clinical decision support intervention based on an actionable phenotype, while those randomized to the control arm have pharmacogenetic testing at the end of 6-months. In both groups, depression and drug tolerability outcomes are assessed at baseline, 1 month, 3 months (primary), and 6 months. The primary end point is defined by change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression score assessed at 3 months versus baseline. Secondary end points include change inpatient health questionnaire (PHQ-8) measure of depression severity, remission rates defined by PROMIS score < 16, medication adherence, and medication side effects. The primary analysis will compare the PROMIS score difference between trial arms among those with an actionable CYP2D6 or CYP2C19 genetic result or a CYP2D6 drug-drug interaction. The trial has completed accrual of 1461 participants, of which 562 were found to have an actionable phenotype to date, and follow-up will be complete in April of 2024.
