Switching from prasugrel to clopidogrel based on Cytochrome P450 2C19 genotyping in East Asian patients stabilized after acute myocardial infarction

摘要

To evaluate the pharmacodynamic efficacy of de-escalating P2Y(12) inhibition from prasugrel to clopidogrel based on cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 genotyping, we genotyped 50 Korean patients with AMI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CYP2C19 *2, *3, or *17 using real-time PCR. They were discharged on prasugrel 10 mg daily. A control group of 48 AMI patients who underwent PCI and were discharged on clopidogrel but did not undergo genotyping was identified retrospectively. Based on genotyping results available at 3 weeks, 12 patients found to have 2 copies of either CYP2C19 *2 or *3 loss of function alleles continued prasugrel while the remaining 38 patients switched to clopidogrel 75 mg daily. The rate of patients within the therapeutic window (TW) of on-treatment platelet reactivity (OPR), 85
