Clinical trials testing pharmacogenomic-guided (PG-guided) warfarin dosing for patients with atrial fibrillation(AF) have demonstrated conflicting results. Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are expensive and contraindicated for several conditions. A strategy optimizing anticoagulant selection remains an unmet clinical need. Characteristics from 14,206 patients with AF were integrated into a validated warfarin clinical trial simulation framework using iterative Bayesian network modeling and a pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic model. Individual dose response for patients was simulated for five warfarin protocols – a fixed-dose protocol, a clinically guided protocol and three increasingly complex PG-guided protocols. For each protocol a complexity score was calculated using the variables predicting warfarin dose and the number of predefined INR thresholds for each adjusted dose. Study outcomes included optimal time in therapeutic range (TTR) ≥65% and clinical events. A combination of age and genotype identified different optimal protocols for various subpopulations. A fixed-dose protocol provided well-controlled INR only in normal responders ≥65, while for normal responders <65 years old, a clinically guided protocol was necessary to achieve well-controlled INR. Sensitive responders ≥65 and <65 and highly sensitive responders ≥65 years old required PG-guided protocols to achieve well-controlled INR. However, highly sensitive responders <65 years old, did not achieve well-controlled INR and had higher associated clinical events rates than other subpopulations. Under the assumptions of this simulation, patients with AF can be triaged to an optimal warfarin therapy protocol by age and genotype. Clinicians should consider alternative anticoagulation therapy for patients with suboptimal outcomes under any warfarin protocol.
