Genotype-Guided P2Y12 Inhibitor Therapy After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Bayesian Analysis.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Among patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the role of a genotype-guided approach for antiplatelet therapy compared with usual care is unclear. We conducted a Bayesian analysis of the entire TAILOR-PCI (Tailored Antiplatelet Initiation to Lessen Outcomes Due to Decreased Clopidogrel Response After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) randomized clinical trial population to evaluate the effect of the genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy post-PCI compared with the usual care on the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

METHODS:

The primary outcome for our study was the composite of MACE (myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death). Secondary outcomes included cardiovascular death, stroke, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and major/minor bleeding. Bayesian modeling was used to estimate the probability of clinical benefit of genotype-guided therapy using (1) noninformative priors (ie, analyzing the TAILOR-PCI trial) and (2) informative priors derived from the ADAPT, POPular Genetics, IAC-PCI, and PHARMCLO trials (ie, analyzing TAILOR-PCI trial in the context of prior evidence). Risk ratio (RR: ratio of cumulative outcome incidence between genotype-guided and conventional therapy group) and 95% credible interval (CrI) were estimated for the study outcomes, and probability estimates for RR <1 were computed.

RESULTS:

Using noninformative priors, in TAILOR-PCI the RR for MACE was 0.78 (95% CrI, 0.55-1.07) in genotype-guided therapy after PCI, and the probability of RR <1 was 94%. Using noninformative priors, the probability of RR <1 for cardiovascular death (RR, 0.95 [95% CrI, 0.52-1.74]), stroke (RR, 0.68 [95% CrI, 0.44-1.06]), myocardial infarction (RR, 0.84 [95% CrI, 0.37-1.89]), stent thrombosis (RR, 0.75 [95% CrI, 0.37-1.45]), and major or minor bleeding (RR, 1.22 [95% CrI, 0.84-1.77]) were 57%, 96%, 67%, 81%, and 15%, respectively. Using informative priors, the posterior probability of RR <1 for MACE, from genotype-guided therapy, was 99% (RR, 0.69 [95% CrI, 0.57-0.84]). Using informative priors, the posterior probability of RR <1 for cardiovascular death (RR, 0.86 [95% CrI, 0.61-1.19]), stroke (RR, 0.69 [95% CrI, 0.48-0.99]), myocardial infarction (RR:0.56 [95% CrI, 0.40-0.78]), stent thrombosis (RR, 0.59 [95% CrI, 0.38-0.94]), and major or minor bleeding (RR, 0.84 [95% CrI, 0.70-0.99]) were 81%, 99%, 99%, 99%, and 99%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:

Bayesian analysis of the TAILOR-PCI trial provides clinically meaningful data on the posterior probability of reducing MACE using genotype-guided P2Y12 inhibitor therapy after PCI.
