Smoking Cessation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy of Genetic Markers in Choosing Pharmacological Treatment for Smoking Cessation With Bupropion and Varenicline and Its Implications for Combining Drugs: Randomized Control Study.
Smoking is the leading cause of avoidable death in the world. Smoking is associated with the development of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, as well as being considered a leading cause of cancer death. Data show that smokers have increased cardiovascular risk in relation to former smokers, even in comparison with individuals who have had a long and intense history tobacco use. Considering this scenario, some drugs are used in tobacco cessation therapy. The first-line anti-smoking treatments approved by the Food and drug administration ( FDA ) are nicotinic reuptake therapy, bupropion ( norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor) and varenicline ( partial agonist of nicotinic receptors composed of subunits alpha4Beta2 ). A metanalysis of 16 clinical studies indicated that smokers treated with bupropion had a higher abstinence rate compared to those receiving placebo - Odds ratio (OR ) - of 1,97 for treatment success. Varenicline is more effective compared to others smoking cessation drugs approved by the FDA, with an OR of 2,27 ( IC 95% 2,02-2,55 ) compared to placebo. However, Varenicline is much more expensive than bupropion. Significant advances in genetics have made the variability of the individual response to drugs, as far as efficacy as well as the rate of adverse effects, begin to be specifically investigated through pharmacogenetics studies.
The patients will be invited to take part in the study collection genetic´s materials in order to determinate the frequency of CHRNA4 AND CYP2B6. The polymorphisms in genes involved in the coding of metabolized drug enzymes, in the variability of carrier proteins or receptors are at the heart of these investigations. The gene CHRNA4 is an important gene for anti-smoking pharmacogenetics studies because they encode the alpha 4 beta 2 subunits of acetylcholine- nicotinic receptors ( which is important target for an action of varenicline ) and CYP2B6 major isoenzyme that metabolizes the bupropion. Rocha et al found the association of polymorphisms CHRNA4rs1044396 with success in smoking cessation in patients treated with varenicline and Tomaz et al found an association between CYP2B6rs2279343 and efficacy of bupropion. Patients with the CC genotype, for the polymorphism CHRNA4rs1044396, had a lower success rate in treatment with varenicline( 29,5% ), compared to those with CT or TT genotypes (50,9% ) ( P =0,07 , n=167 ). The CT or TT genotypes were associated with a higher risk - Odds ratio ( OR ) - of success ( OR=1,67, IC 95%=1,10-2,53,P=0,02), in a multivariate model. Patients with the genotype AA, for the polymorphism CYP2B6rs2279343, obtained a higher success rate in treatment with bupropion ( 48,0% ), compared to patients with the AG or GG genotypes ( 35,5% ) (P=0,05,n=237). The AA genotype was associated with higher odds ratios for treatment success (OR=1,92,IC 95%=1,08-3,42,P=0,03) ,in a multivariate model. It is suggested that these polymorphisms influence the pharmacological response and may be important for the design of an individualized pharmacotherapy. ;
