CYP2C19 drug-drug and drug-gene interactions in ED patients
a b s t r a c t
Background: CYP450 polymorphisms result in variable rates of drug metabolism. CYP drug-Drug interactions can contribute to altered drug effectiveness and safety.
Study objectives: The primary objective was to determine the percentage of emergency department (ED) patients with cytochrome 2C19 (CYP2C19) Drug-drug interactions. The secondary objective was to determine the preva- lence of CYP2C19 polymorphisms in a US ED population.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in an Urban academic ED with 72,000 annual visits. drug ingestion histories for the 48 hours preceding ED visit were obtained; each drug was coded as CYP2C19 sub- strate, inhibitor, inducer, or not CYP2C19 dependent. Ten percent of patients were randomized to undergo CYP2C19 genotyping using the Roche Amplichip.
Results: A total of 502 patients were included; 61% were female, 65% were white, and median age was 39 years (interquartile range, 22-53). One hundred thirty-one (26.1%) patients had taken at least 1 CYP2C19-dependent home drug. Eighteen (13.7%) patients who were already taking a CYP2C19-dependent drug were given or pre- scribed a CYP2C19-dependent drug while in the ED. Among the 53 patients genotyped, 52 (98%) were extensive metabolizers and 1 was a poor metabolizer.
Conclusions: In a population of ED patients, more than a quarter had taken a CYP2C19-dependent drug in the pre- ceding 48 hours, but few were given or prescribed another CYP2C19-dependent drug in the ED. On genotyping analysis, CYP2C19 polymorphisms were uncommon in our cohort. We conclude that changing prescribing prac- tice due to CYP2C19 drug-drug interaction or genotype is unlikely to be useful in most US ED populations.

Introduction
Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) polymorphisms result in variable rates of drug metabolism. This has important implications for drug effective- ness and safety [1]. Hepatic cytochrome 2C19 (CYP2C19), a CYP450 sub- type, metabolizes up to 15% of known pharmaceuticals [2] including drugs with narrow therapeutic windows frequently encountered by physicians such as warfarin, clopidogrel, and carbamazepine (Table 1). CYP2C19 enzyme phenotypes are classified as poor metabolizer,

intermediate metabolizer, extensive (normal) metabolizer, and ultra- rapid metabolizer depending upon the patient’s underlying genetic polymorphisms [3]. Commercially available genotype assays identify poor metabolizers and extensive metabolizers through identification of a variable number of gene polymorphisms [4].
Genotyping for specific polymorphisms is increasingly recommend- ed by the Food and Drug Administration before instituting drug therapy [5]. There are a number of drugs where genotyping can predict adverse drug events, drug effectiveness, or therapeutic failure [6]. These drugs include abacavir [7,8], clopidogrel [9], and tamoxifen [10]. In addition, genotyping for glucose-6-phosphate deficiency before prescribing of certain hemolytic drugs is advised [11,12]. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends genotyping for certain tumor genes asso- ciated with improved chemotherapeutic efficacy before initiation of therapy [13]. Knowledge of patient genotypes in the emergency depart- ment (ED) may lead to improved efficacy and safety of drugs prescribed in the near future. However, genotyping is not sufficient to predict safe- ty and effectiveness [14], and accounting for clinical factors such as drug-drug interaction may be equally important [1,15]. Therefore, char- acterizing the frequency of drug-drug interactions and the prevalence of

genetic polymorphisms in an ED population allows for an estimation of the implications for drug-gene interaction in ED patients [1,16].
Drug-gene interactions are especially important with the CYP2C19 enzyme which is responsible for metabolism of many clinically perti- nent drugs in the ED. Pharmacokinetic differences have been demon- strated between CYP2C19 genotype subgroups for several drugs [3] including proton pump inhibitors [17], sedatives [18], anticonvulsants [19], antidepressants [20], and antimicrobials [21,22]. Metabolism of these drugs varies considerably from extensive metabolizers to poor metabolizers. Poor metabolizer prevalence varies by race. A total of 12%-23% of Asians [23-25], 1%-6% of whites [26-28], and 1%-7.5% of Africans [29] are classified as CYP2C19 poor metabolizers. Identification of drug-gene and pairing this information with drug-drug interaction data may alter the way ED physicians prescribe CYP2C19-dependent drugs. We have chosen to focus on CYP2C19 because of the high poten- tial for interactions with narrow therapeutic drugs. In addition, many of these drugs are metabolized almost exclusively through this pathway, with no redundancy, raising the potential for clinically significant inter- actions. The primary objective was to determine the percentage of ED patients with CYP2C19 Drug-drug interactions. The secondary objec- tives were to determine the prevalence of CYP2C19 polymorphisms in a US ED population and to determine if genotyping and identification of drug-drug interactions for CYP2C19 could reasonably alter drug ther- apy by ED physicians.
Materials and methods
Patients and study design
This was a prospective observational cohort gathered in a large urban academic US ED with approximately 72,000 patient visits per year. The study enrollment procedures are described in the parent trial (Clinical Trials # NCT01859715) [15]. In brief, subjects were includ- ed if they self-reported pain or nausea during the initial nursing assess- ment. Patients were excluded if they were younger than 18 years, unable to speak English, or previously diagnosed with chronic pain or cyclic vomiting. In addition, those with measured or known glomerular filtration rate of b 60 mL/(min 1.73 m2) or those with acute altered men- tal status were excluded. In patients with dementia or critical illness, the drug ingestion history was reconciled with the health care proxy. Pa- tients were approached after triage, after nurse drug reconciliation, and after initial stabilization when the patient arrived by ambulance. The local institutional review board approved the study, and all subjects provided written informed consent.
Drug ingestion histories
Detailed drug histories for the 48 hours preceding the ED visit were obtained by the principal investigator or a professional research assis- tant (JC) trained in identical methods. All prescription drugs,
nonprescription drugs, vitamins, herbals, and supplement drugs were captured along with the dose and time since the patient’s last dose. Drug histories were gathered in a structured format. Initially, we asked, “what medications have you taken in the last 48 hours?” We then asked specifically about the use of prescription drugs, nonprescrip- tion drugs, vitamins, herbals, or traditional drugs, and dietary supple- ments. All reported drugs were recorded. When available, Pill bottles were obtained to verify drug doses. If the patient had difficulty recalling the prescription name, their pharmacy was contacted to ensure accura- cy of the obtained history. Over-the-counter nonprescription combina- tion formulations were reconciled using Internet pictures to verify the specific product ingested. The ED medical record was abstracted manu- ally, and medications administered in the ED or prescribed at ED dis- charge were recorded. Patient demographic details were also abstracted from the ED medical record (Table 2).
Interaction identification
All patient-reported drugs were categorized as a CYP2C19 substrate, inhibitor, inducer, or not CYP2C19 dependent using the University of Indiana CYP450 Interaction Table [30]. The presence of CYP2C19 inter- action was considered dichotomous; interaction was present if the sub- ject had taken a home CYP2C19-dependent drug and was administered or prescribed a CYP2C19-dependent drug in the ED. We considered clin- ically significant drug-drug interactions to include drugs with narrow therapeutic windows. Those drugs included warfarin, clopidogrel, car- bamazepine, oxcarbazepine, and topiramate.
Genotyping
Fifty-three patients were randomized for CYP2C19 genotyping by a random number generator. Genotyping was provided by LabCorp using the CYP2D6/2C19 Amplichip. Genotyping with the Amplichip ac- counts for 3 distinct CYP2C19 polymorphisms categorizing the individ- ual’s genotype into 1 of 3 predicted metabolizer groups: poor metabolizer, intermediate metabolizer, or extensive metabolizer [31].

Outcomes
The primary outcome of this study was the prevalence of CYP2C19 drug-drug interaction. The secondary outcomes were the prevalence of CYP2C19 polymorphisms and the presence of drug-gene interactions.
Data analysis
Descriptive statistics were used to characterize demographic data, the frequency of patients taking a CYP2C19-dependent drug, and the frequency of CYP2C19 drug-drug interactions in the study population. JMP 10 was used for data analysis.
Results
Characteristics of study subjects
A total of 502 of 655 (76.6%) approached patients consented to en- rollment. The overall demographics of the sample were representative of the ED population during the sampling period (Table 2). A total of 286 (56.9%) of consented patients were enrolled through triage; the re- mainder were enrolled in the ED after initial stabilization or after ambu- lance arrival (Fig. 1).
Drug histories
The median number of home drugs taken by patients in the 48 hours before ED presentation was 3 (range, 0-33; interquartile range [IQR], 1- 6). A total of 131 of the 502 subjects (26.1%) enrolled had taken at least 1 CYP2C19-dependent drug in the 48 hours before ED presentation (Fig. 1). Of these, 117 (88.6%) had taken substrates, 22 (16.6%) had taken inhibitors, and 0 had taken an inducer.
CYP2C19 drug-drug interactions
Eighteen of the 131 subjects (13.7%) on a CYP2C19 were given an- other CYP2C19-dependent drug in the ED (Fig. 2). Of the 502 subjects enrolled, 18 (3.6%) subjects could have had a CYP2C19 drug-drug inter- action. Twenty-nine (5.8%) patients were on home drugs with a narrow therapeutic window. There were 5 (1.0%) subjects with clinically signif- icant CYP2C19 interactions due to drugs given or prescribed in the ED: a patient on topiramate was given prednisone, 1 patient on escitalopram
was prescribed warfarin, 1 patient on pantoprazole was prescribed war- farin, another on both pantoprazole and sertraline was prescribed war- farin, and a patient on omeprazole was prescribed both warfarin and prednisone. No patients taking carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine were given or prescribed CYP2C19 drugs in the ED.
Genotyping
Fifty-three subjects were genotyped for CYP2C19 metabolizer status. Of the 53, a total of 52 (98%) were extensive metabolizers and 1 (2%) was a poor metabolizer. The one poor metabolizer was American Indian/Alaskan Native, was taking esomeprazole at home, and did not receive a CYP2C19 drug or prescription in the ED.
Discussion
In a cohort of ED patients presenting with pain or nausea, more than a quarter of patients reported taking a CYP2C19-dependent drug in the 48 hours preceding their visit. Although some CYP2C19 drugs have nar- row therapeutic windows (eg, topiramate, warfarin, clopidogrel), only 6% of patients in our ED population were taking these drugs, and only 1% of those were given or prescribed a CYP2C19-interacting drug. Of those with a clinically significant drug-drug interaction, 80% involved warfarin and would be followed with regular prothrombin time moni- toring, mitigating potential adverse drug events (ADEs). On genotyping analysis, the prevalence of CYP2C19 polymorphisms was low. There- fore, given that the likelihood of a clinically significant CYP2C19 drug- drug or drug-gene interactions is low, CYP2C19 genotyping, as currently available, is unlikely to be useful in an ED population.
Drug-drug interactions alter drug effectiveness and safety. Emergen- cy physicians must consider the possibility of drug interactions when choosing therapies in patients taking drugs with narrow therapeutic windows. Many oral contraceptives are known to be inhibitors of CYP2C19. As of 2015, the CDC reports that 17% of women aged 15-44 in the United States take oral contraceptives [32]. We did not identify significant interaction with women taking oral contraceptives in this co- hort. However, this population may be of interest to physicians in the future when prescribing antiepileptics or drugs such as clopidogrel that rely on CYP2C19 to produce the pharmacologically active metabolite. Topiramate, carbamazepine, and oxcarbazepine are listed as Class D (evidence of human fetal risk) in pregnancy. Thus, when a physician prescribes one of these drugs, it may be advisable to discuss

contraceptive choice with the patient and consider potential drug inter- actions. Estradiol, however, is not metabolized through this pathway, mitigating the risk of Stent thrombosis in those on concomitant hor- mone replacement therapy and clopidogrel.
As demonstrated by the failures of pharmacogenetic prediction for warfarin [33,34] and clopidogrel therapy [9], it is unclear that genotyp- ing CYP2C19 improves clinically significant outcomes. It is estimated that 7.3% of the general population has clinically actionable CYP2C19 ge- notypes [35]; yet only 2% of our study population had a polymorphism, and only 26% of patients reported taking a CYP2C19-dependent drug 48 hours before ED arrival. This resulted in less than a 1% drug-gene inter- action in our cohort. Genotyping costs approximately $500 for the com- mercially available Roche Ampliship [36]; thus, genotyping CYP2C19 in ED patients is unlikely to be cost-effective at our institution.
Although not currently cost-effective, the cost of genetic testing con- tinues to decline. Adverse drug events are among the most costly iatro- genic diseases [37], and some ADEs may be avoided if P450 genotypes are known (ie, opiate toxicity in patients taking codeine [38] or hypersensitivity associated with carbamazepine therapy [39]). Pharmacogenomic testing is currently recommended for several drugs commonly encountered by emergency physicians [6]. Predicting drug response before initiation of a new drug could result in fewer therapeu- tic failures, less recidivism for a persistent condition, and fewer ADEs. Patients and providers desire more precision in drug therapy, and genotyping represents a tool to achieve this goal. Although attempts at predicting a patient’s response based on genotype alone have largely been unsuccessful [33,34], accounting for drug-drug interaction has shown some promise in prediction of pharmacokinetics/pharmacody- namics [32,40] of drugs in the ED. The combination of genetics and clin- ical factors such as drug-drug interaction may improve the prediction of drug effectiveness [1,15]. Prospective studies are needed to demon- strate the utility of these approaches in the ED.
Limitations
These data are limited by the nature of self-reported drug ingestion histories. Emergency department physicians must rely on these histo- ries for all drug therapy decisions; thus, this method is reflective of true clinical practice. We included patients with chest pain, thus captur- ing patients that may have been taking clopidogrel, and patients with gastritis are frequently prescribed proton pump inhibitors (CYP2C19 dependent) in our ED. Therefore, we have conservatively biased the re- sults toward identifying more interactions than may be present overall. Exclusion of non-English-speaking patients may influence the distribu- tion of the underlying CYP2C19 subgroups. Certain races are known to have a higher prevalence of some CYP2C19 polymorphisms associated
with altered metabolic activity. Thus, the external validity of this study is limited by the low percentage (1.8%) of patients with Asian descent in the cohort, consistent with our overall ED demographics, and no Asians were genotyped. Emergency departments with a higher Asian patient population would likely demonstrate a higher poor metabolizer prevalence. The parent trial enrolled patients with pain, nausea, or vomiting. These chief complaints may affect the ultimate drug therapy and thus alter the number of drug-drug interactions identified. Howev- er, pain, nausea, and vomiting are the most common chief complaints in our ED overall, suggesting that this population is representative of our overall ED population.
Conclusions
In a population of ED patients, more than a quarter had taken a CYP2C19-dependent drug in the preceding 48 hours, but few were given or prescribed another CYP2C19-dependent drug in the ED. On genotyping analysis, CYP2C19 polymorphisms were uncommon in our cohort. In summary, our findings suggests that genotyping of CYP2C19 is not well suited to the ED.
