Examining the impact of a gene variant on edoxaban effectiveness in patients with kidney issues

Prospective Observational Association Between SLCO1B1 Gene Polymorphism and the Anti-factor Xa Activity of Edoxaban in Patients With Moderate to Severe Renal Insufficiency

Qianfoshan Hospital · NCT06431789

This study is testing how a specific gene variant affects the effectiveness of the blood thinner edoxaban in patients with kidney problems to help find the best dose for them.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on patients with moderate to severe renal insufficiency who are receiving edoxaban, a medication used to prevent blood clots. The research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of edoxaban by analyzing the anti-factor Xa activity in relation to the SLCO1B1 gene polymorphism. By understanding how different genotypes affect drug activity, the study seeks to optimize individualized dosing regimens for better patient outcomes. Participants will be monitored for their response to the medication over a specified period.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults with moderate to severe renal insufficiency who are prescribed edoxaban for non-valvular atrial fibrillation or deep vein thrombosis.

Not a fit: Patients under 18 years old or those with specific heart conditions or recent use of certain medications may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized and effective dosing of edoxaban for patients with renal insufficiency.

How similar studies have performed: While the approach of examining gene polymorphisms in relation to drug efficacy is established, the specific focus on SLCO1B1 and edoxaban in this context is relatively novel.
