Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the RAPID GENE study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of a pharmacogenomic approach to anti-platelet therapy following coronary artery stenting using a CYP2C19*2 point-of-care genetic test.


Description:

Effective medical treatment following acute coronary syndromes and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) consists of dual anti-platelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel. Despite this treatment approach, a substantial portion of patients continue to experience an increased rate of subsequent adverse cardiovascular events including death, myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis. This persistent vulnerability has been associated with inadequate platelet inhibition in response to clopidogrel administration, a phenomenon referred to as clopidogrel resistance. Although multiple variables have been implicated in clopidogrel resistance, mounting evidence suggests a crucial role for the loss-of-function CYP2C19*2 genetic variant. Presence of the *2 allele has been associated with a 1.5- to 6-fold increased risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis following PCI in patients treated with clopidogrel. These findings, recently bolstered by a meta-analysis, led the American Food and Drug Administration to issue a boxed warning for clopidogrel stating that poor metabolizers may not receive the full benefit of the drug. Consequently, experts have begun to advocate for routine genotyping in the context of dual anti-platelet therapy following PCI. A personalized approach to dual anti-platelet therapy following PCI is feasible given the presence of treatment alternatives such as prasugrel that are capable of overcoming clopidogrel resistance. Selective administration of prasugrel to patients at increased risk of clopidogrel resistance has the potential to successfully minimize adverse ischemic events, while simultaneously minimizing associated bleeding events and health care costs. A prospective pharmacogenomic approach to anti-platelet therapy has been previously hampered by limited access and the time-delay associated with genetic testing. The development of a point-of-care CYP2C19*2 genetic test that requires minimal training to operate carries the potential to overcome these obstacles and may facilitate the incorporation of pharmacogenomic strategies into routine clinical practice.

Patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention in the context of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes and stable coronary artery disease will be randomized to either a rapid genotyping strategy or standard therapy. Patients in the Rapid Genotyping arm will be screened for the presence of the CYP2C19*2 allele using a point-of-care genetic test. Carriers of the *2 allele will receive prasugrel 10 mg daily for 1 week. Non-*2 carriers in the Rapid Genotyping arm and all patients in the Standard Therapy arm will receive clopidogrel 75 mg daily. At the end of the 1 week period, efficacy of the treatment strategies will be evaluated using VerifyNow platelet function testing.
