To evaluate the role of the genetic variant 2C19*2 on the pharmacodynamic response as assessed by optical aggregometry and on the pharmacokinetic response as assessed by measuring active metabolites following an oral administration of a loading dose of 300/900mg of clopidogrel in patients with established coronary artery disease.
Full description
Rationale : Clopidogrel is a specific and irreversible of the P2Y12 platelet receptor leading to an inhibition of platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel is a prodrug that must be converted into an active metabolite that selectively and irreversibly binds to the P2Y12 platelet membrane receptor. As a consequence, a loading dose of 300 mg is necessary in percutaneous coronary intervention and in acute coronary syndrome, situations which require a rapid inhibition of platelet aggregation due to the high thrombotic risk.
High platelet reactivity on clopidogrel may be due to various reasons including polymorphism in the gene encoding the cytochrome P-450 2C19 enzyme (CYP2C19) which has been shown to contribute to the variability of platelet response to clopidogrel. CYP2C19 is a key enzyme in this activation process and our group was the first to describe an association between the presence of the loss of function CYP2C19 681G>A polymorphism (also called *2) with lower clopidogrel responsiveness in healthy subjects.
Poor responsiveness to clopidogrel has become a major concern given acute recurrent events following stent placement.
Objective : To evaluate the role of the genetic variant 2C19*2 on the pharmacodynamic response as assessed by optical aggregometry and on the pharmacokinetic response as assessed by measuring active metabolites following an oral administration of a loading dose of 300/900mg of clopidogrel in patients with established coronary artery disease.
Target population :Patients of less than 45 years of age and who survived a MI and enrolled in the AFIJI multicenter registry (Appraisal of risk Factors in young Ischemic patients Justifying aggressive Intervention).
Primary end-point :Comparison of inhibition of the intensity of residual platelet aggregation (IRPA) measured 6 minutes after induction by 20 μmol/L following 300mg or 900 mg of clopidogrel with respect to the presence of the genetic variant CYP2C19*2
Statistical analysis :Comparison of IRPA with respect to the presence of the genetic variant 2C19*2 by anova Area under the curve of the production of active metabolites with respect to the presence of the genetic variant 2C19*2 Agenda :November 2008 (inclusion of first patient) to december 2009 (analysis of the data)
