Clinical Pharmacology Technologies for Personalization of Cardiovascular Diseases Drug Treatment: Focus on Direct Oral Anticoagulants

One of the main causes for adverse reactions development is not taking into account the pharmacokinetics of drugs and the dose. Pharmacokinetics of drugs is mostly defined by the cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes activity, carboxylesterases and many other isoenzymes of drug metabolism, as well as ADME transporters (P-gp etc.) which take part in the process of drug metabolism. The activity of these isoenzymes is defined by the genetic aspects of patients and non-genetic aspects such as comorbidity and drug-drug interactions. The development of complex algorithms for personalization of therapy based on the results of pharmacogenetic studies and in the form of a decision support system will play an important role in reduction of adverse drug reactions. A lot can be achieved for personalization of Direct Oral Anticoagulants for treatment of cardiovascular diseases. New approaches are being developed based on the results of pharmacogenetic and pharmacokinetic testing that will help diminish adverse effects of drugs.
