Pharmacogenetic algorithm-based warfarin dosing
Excerpt from the warfarin dosing guidelines:
Numerous studies have derived warfarin dosing algorithms that use both genetic and non-genetic factors to predict warfarin dose [Article:18305455, 19228618, 18574025]. Two algorithms perform well in estimating stable warfarin dose across different ethnic populations; [Article:18305455, 19228618] these were created using more than 5,000 subjects. Dosing algorithms using genetics outperform nongenetic clinical algorithms and fixed-dose approaches in dose prediction [Article:18305455, 19228618].
The best way to estimate the anticipated stable dose of warfarin is to use the algorithms available on http://www.warfarindosing.org (offering both high-performing algorithms [Article:18305455, 19228618]). The dosing algorithm published by the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium is also online, at http://www.pharmgkb.org/do/serve?objId=PA162372936&objCls=Dataset#tabview=tab2. The two algorithms provide very similar dose recommendations.

Approach to pharmacogenetic-based warfarin dosing without access to dosing algorithms
Excerpt from the warfarin dosing guidelines:
In 2007, the FDA modified the warfarin label, stating that CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes may be useful in determining the optimal initial dose of warfarin [Article:17906972]. The label was further updated in 2010 to include a table (Table 1) describing recommendations for initial dosing ranges for patients with different combinations of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes.
Genetics-based algorithms also better predict warfarin dose than the FDA-approved warfarin label table [Article:21272753]. Therefore, the use of pharmacogenetic algorithm-based dosing is recommended when possible, although if electronic means for such dosing are not available, the table-based dosing approaches (Table 1) are suggested. The range of doses by VKORC1 genotype and the range of dose recommendations/predictions by the FDA table and algorithm are shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Legend: Frequency histograms of stable therapeutic warfarin doses in mg/week, stratified by VKORC1 -1639G>A genotype in 3,616 patients recruited by the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Consortium (IWPC) who did not carry the CYP2C9*2 or *3 allele (i.e., coded as *1*1 for US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) table and algorithm dosing). The range of doses within each genotype group recommended on the FDA table is shown via the shaded rectangle. The range of doses predicted using the IWPC dosing algorithm in these 3,616 patients is shown by the solid lines.
Figure 2 demonstrates that the range of individuals covered by the FDA table is much narrower than that of the algorithm. The article and supplement detail important variables that are not covered by the table that should also be taken into consideration.

Information regarding PGx on FDA drug labels is derived from the FDA's "Table of Pharmacogenomic Biomarkers in Drug Labels". Excerpts from the label and downloadable highlighted label PDFs are manually curated by PharmGKB.
The FDA recommends, but does not require, genetic testing of patients from at-risk populations prior to initiating treatment with CELEBREX.
Excerpt from the CELEBREX drug label:
"Poor Metabolizers of CYP2C9 Substrates: Patients who are known or suspected to be poor CYP2C9 metabolizers based on previous history/experience with other CYP2C9 substrates (such as warfarin, phenytoin) should be administered celecoxib with caution. Consider starting treatment at half the lowest recommended dose in poor metabolizers. Consider using alternative management in JRA patients who are poor metabolizers..."
"Celecoxib metabolism is primarily mediated via CYP2C9...CYP2C9 activity is reduced in individuals with genetic polymorphisms that lead to reduced enzyme activity, such as those homozygous for the CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 polymorphisms. Limited data from 4 published reports that included a total of 8 subjects with the homozygous CYP2C9*3/*3 genotype showed celecoxib systemic levels that were 3- to 7-fold higher in these subjects compared to subjects with CYP2C9*1/*1 or *I/*3 genotypes. The pharmacokinetics of celecoxib have not been evaluated in subjects with other CYP2C9 polymorphisms, such as *2, *5, *6, *9 and *11. It is estimated that the frequency of the homozygous *3/*3 genotype is 0.3% to 1.0% in various ethnic groups."
"Consider a dose reduction by 50% (or alternative management for JRA) in patients who are known or suspected to be CYP2C9 poor metabolizers."

The FDA recommends, but does not require, genetic testing prior to initiating or reinitiating treatment with Flurbiprofen.
PGx information can be found in the Clinical Pharmacology and Special Populations label sections.
Excerpts from the Flurbiprofen label:
In vitro studies have
demonstrated that cytochrome P450 2C9 plays an important role in the metabolism of flurbiprofen to its major metabolite, 4'-hydroxyflurbiprofen.
Aspirin: Concurrent administration of Flurbiprofen tablet, USP and aspirin resulted in 50% lower serum flurbiprofen concentrations.
This effect of aspirin (which is also seen with other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) has been demonstrated in patients with
rheumatoid arthritis (n=15) and in healthy volunteers (n=16)
The effect of flurbiprofen on blood pressure response to propranolol and atenolol was evaluated
in men with mild uncomplicated hypertension (n=10). Flurbiprofen pretreatment attenuated the hypotensive effect of a single dose of
propranolol but not atenolol.
Studies in healthy volunteers have shown that, like other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, flurbiprofen can interfere
with the effects of furosemide. Although results have varied from study to study, effects have been shown on furosemide-stimulated
diuresis, natriuresis, and kaliuresis. Other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that inhibit prostaglandin synthesis have been shown
to interfere with thiazide and potassium-sparing diuretics
For the complete drug label text with sections containing pharmacogenetic information highlighted, see the flurbiprofen drug label.
The FDA recommends genetic testing prior to initiating treatment with warfarin.
Excerpt from the warfarin drug label:
The patient's CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotype information, when available, can assist in selection of the starting dose. Table 5 describes the range of stable maintenance doses observed in multiple patients having different combinations of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 gene variants. Consider these ranges in choosing the initial dose.
The VKORC1:G-1639A polymorphism is associated with lower dose requirements for warfarin in Caucasian and Asian patients. Increased bleeding risk and lower initial warfarin dose requirements have been associated with the CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 alleles. Approximately 30% of the variance in warfarin dose could be attributed to genetic variation in VKORC1, and about 40% of dose variance could be explained taking into consideration both VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genetic polymorphisms. Accounting for genetic variation in both VKORC1 and CYP2C9, age, height, body weight, interacting drugs, and indication for warfarin therapy explained about 55% of the variability in warfarin dose.
For the complete drug label text with sections containing pharmacogenetic information highlighted, see the warfarin drug label. Pharmacogenomics-related dosing information is found in Table 5 on page 27.
The FDA recommends, but does not require, genetic testing prior to initiating or reinitiating treatment with Fluvoxamine.
PGx information can be found in the Drug Interactions label section.
Excerpts from the fluvoxamine label:
Based on a finding of substantial interactions of fluvoxamine with certain of these drugs (see later parts of this section and also WARNINGS for details) and limited in vitro data for the 3A4 isozyme, it appears that fluvoxamine inhibits the following isozymes
that are known to be involved in the metabolism of the listed drugs:
1A2, 2C9, 3A4, 2C19, Warfarin, Alprazolam, Omeprazole, Theophylline, Propranolol, Tizanidine. In vitro data suggest that fluvoxamine is a relatively weak inhibitor of the 2D6 isozyme.
