Introduction

Pharmacogenetic (PGx) targets to optimize drug therapy, but its implementation is rare.

Objectives

We evaluate the clinical utility of PGx testing in psychiatry by investigating the one-year risks of clinical outcomes in patients with depression taking sertraline, (es)citalopram or fluoxetine by their Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19/2D6 phenotypes.

Methods

We investigated 17,297 individuals born between 1981-2005 with a depression diagnosis between 1996-2012 from the iPsych2012 case-cohort. Based on array-based single-nucleotide-polymorphism genotype data, individuals were phenotyped as CYP2C19/CYP2D6 normal (NM, reference group), ultra-rapid- (UM), rapid- (RM), intermediate- (IM), or poor-metabolizer (PM). Outcomes were treatment switching or discontinuation, psychiatric in-, out-, and emergency room contacts (ER), and suicide attempt/self-harm. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) by age groups were estimated using Poisson regression analysis with 95% confidence intervals, adjusted for potential confounders.

Results

Risks of switching (IRR=1.89[1.22-2.93]), ERs (1.69 [1.01-2.81]) and suicide attempt/self-harm (2.73 [1.49-5.01]) were higher in CYP2C19 PMs <19 years taking (es)citalopram. Fluoxetine users <19 years had a decreased risk of discontinuation in CYP2D6 PMs (0.5 [0.27-0.95]) and decreased risk of out-patient contacts in CYP2D6 PMs and IMs (IRRIM=0.83 [0.68-1.00] and IRRPM=0.59 [ 0.37-0.96]). We observed an increased risk for ERs in CYP2D6 PMs aged 19-25 years taking fluoxetine (4.53 [1.54-13.35]). In CYP2C19 UMs >25 years taking (es)citalopram the risk of suicide attempt/self-harm was more than three-fold increased (3.64 [ 1.01-13.19]). We found no significant results in users of sertraline.

Conclusions

PGx variability was associated with treatment outcomes in depression in patients with CYP2C19 PM or UM status taking (es)citalopram, or CYP2D6 PM or IM status taking fluoxetine.
