摘要: The narrow therapeutic range and wide interpatient variability in dose requirement make anticoagulation response to coumarin derivatives unpredictable. As a result, patients require frequent monitoring avert adverse effects maintain efficacy. Polymorphisms VKORC1 CYP2C9 jointly account for about 40% of the interindividual requirements. To date, several pharmacogenetic-guided dosing algorithms derivatives, predominately warfarin, have been developed. However, potential benefit these terms their safety clinical utility has not adequately investigated randomized settings. European Pharmacogenetics Anticoagulant Therapy (EU-PACT) trial will assess, single-blinded controlled with follow-up period 3 months, genotype-guided daily practice three main used Europe. primary outcome measure is percentage time international normalized ratio. This report describes design protocol trial.
