    Evaluation of Potential Racial Disparities in CYP2C19-Guided P2Y12 Inhibitor Prescribing After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
    (Wiley, 2023) Cavallari, Larisa H.; Limdi, Nita A.; Beitelshees, Amber L.; Lee, James C.; Duarte, Julio D.; Franchi, Francesco; Tuteja, Sony; Giri, Jay; Empey, Philip E.; Kreutz, Rolf P.; Skaar, Todd C.; Allen, John M.; Coons, James C.; Gong, Yan; McDonough, Caitrin W.; Stevenson, James M.; Thomas, Cameron D.; Johnson, Julie A.; Stouffer, George A.; Angiolillo, Dominick J.; Lee, Craig R.; IGNITE Network; Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Medicine
    Black patients suffer worse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) than White patients. Inequities in antiplatelet prescribing may contribute to this health disparity. We compared P2Y12 inhibitor prescribing by race following CYP2C19 genotyping to guide antiplatelet therapy selection after PCI. Patients from 9 sites that performed clinical CYP2C19 genotyping after PCI were included. Alternative therapy (e.g., prasugrel or ticagrelor) was recommended for CYP2C19 no-function allele carriers, in whom clopidogrel is predicted to be less effective. The primary outcome was choice of P2Y12 inhibitor (clopidogrel vs. alternative therapy) based on genotype. Of 3,342 patients included, 2,448 (73%) were White, and 659 (20%) were Black. More Black than White patients had a no-function allele (34.3% vs. 29.7%, P = 0.024). At hospital discharge following PCI, 44.2% of Black and 44.0% of White no-function allele carriers were prescribed alternative therapy. At the time of the last follow-up within 12 months, numerically fewer Black (51.8%) than White (56.7%) no-function allele carriers were prescribed alternative therapy (P = 0.190). However, the difference was not significant after accounting for other factors associated with P2Y12 inhibitor selection (odds ratio 0.79, 95% confidence interval 0.58-1.08). Alternative therapy use did not differ between Black (14.3%) and White (16.7%) patients without a no-function allele (P = 0.232). Among real-world patients who received CYP2C19 testing after PCI, P2Y12 inhibitor prescribing rates did not differ between Black and White patients. Our data suggest an absence of racial disparity in genotype-guided antiplatelet prescribing among patients receiving CYP2C19 testing.

    Multisite Investigation of Strategies for the Implementation of CYP2C19 Genotype-Guided Antiplatelet Therapy
    (Wiley, 2018-10) Empey, Philip E.; Stevenson, James M.; Tuteja, Sony; Weitzel, Kristin W.; Angiolillo, Dominick J.; Beitelshees, Amber L.; Coons, James C.; Duarte, Julio D.; Franchi, Francesco; Jeng, Linda J.B.; Johnson, Julie A.; Kreutz, Rolf P.; Limdi, Nita A.; Maloney, Kristin A.; Obeng, Aniwaa Owusu; Peterson, Josh F.; Petry, Natasha; Pratt, Victoria M.; Rollini, Fabiana; Scott, Stuart A.; Skaar, Todd C.; Vesely, Mark R.; Stouffer, George A.; Wilke, Russell A.; Cavallari, Larisa H.; Lee, Craig R.; IGNITE Network; Medicine, School of Medicine
    CYP2C19 genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention is increasingly implemented in clinical practice. However, challenges such as selecting a testing platform, communicating test results, building clinical decision support processes, providing patient and provider education, and integrating methods to support the translation of emerging evidence to clinical practice are barriers to broad adoption. In this report, we compare and contrast implementation strategies of 12 early adopters, describing solutions to common problems and initial performance metrics for each program. Key differences between programs included the test result turnaround time and timing of therapy changes, which are both related to the CYP2C19 testing model and platform used. Sites reported the need for new informatics infrastructure, expert clinicians such as pharmacists to interpret results, physician champions, and ongoing education. Consensus lessons learned are presented to provide a path forward for those seeking to implement similar clinical pharmacogenomics programs within their institutions
