Brief summary
Study objective is to determine whether there is an association between genetic variant risk scores and clinical outcomes (percent time in therapeutic range, time to reach therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR), INR ≥ 4, bleeding event, ischemic stroke, death) in participants taking warfarin for atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and/or intracardiac thrombosis.
Detailed description
It is anticipated that next generation genomic sequencing will identify rare genetic variants in ethnically diverse populations, which otherwise would not have been detected using commercially available warfarin tests. Furthermore, retrospective review of clinical outcomes (percent time in therapeutic range, time to reach therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR), INR ≥ 4, major bleeding event, ischemic stroke) of study participants will determine the clinical utility of genetic variant risk scores. Study outcomes will provide guidance on future directions for optimizing dosing algorithms for warfarin that combine pharmacogenetic principles with clinical dosing.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percent time in therapeutic range during initial 12 weeks of warfarin | 12 weeks | Within the 12 weeks of treatment, this is the percentage of time that a given participant is within the therapeutic range (e.g. participant is in therapeutic range 75% of time/12 weeks of measurement) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time to reach therapeutic INR | 12 weeks | Time needed to achieve first INR within the range of 2 to 3, provided that subsequent INR ≥ 7 days later was also within the range of 2 to 3 |
| INR ≥ 4.0 during first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy | 12 weeks | Time greater than the desired INR therapeutic range within the first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy |
| Ischemic stroke | 12 weeks | Development of a clinical diagnosis of an ischemic stroke |
| Major bleeding event during first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy | 12 weeks | Development of a major bleeding event during the first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy, diagnosed by a clinician |
| Clinically relevant non-major bleeding event during the first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy | 12 weeks | Development of a clinically relevant non-major bleeding event during the first 12 weeks of warfarin therapy, diagnosed by a clinician |
