Abstract
Abstract
The impact of genetic variability of pharmacogenes as a possible risk factor for adverse drug reactions is elucidated in the EMPAR (Einfluss metabolischer Profile auf die Arzneimitteltherapiesicherheit in der Routineversorgung/English: influence of metabolic profiles on the safety of drug therapy in routine care) study. EMPAR evaluates possible associations of pharmacogenetically predicted metabolic profiles relevant for the metabolism of frequently prescribed cardiovascular drugs. Based on a German study population of 10,748 participants providing access to healthcare claims data and DNA samples for pharmacogenetic assessment, first analyses were performed and evaluated. The aim of this first evaluation was the characterization of the study population with regard to general parameters such as age, gender, comorbidity, and polypharmacy at baseline (baseline year) as well as important combinations of cardiovascular drugs with relevant genetic variants and predicted metabolic phenotypes. The study was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS) on July 6, 2018 (DRKS00013909).
