NCT02871934

Brief Summary

This study will determine whether using a genetic test (for the SLCO1B1 gene) can help patients and providers choose the right type and dose of cholesterol-lowering statin medications to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, while minimizing the muscle pain side effects that sometimes occur with statins.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 12-Month Change in LDL Cholesterol

    The primary CVD prevention outcome is 12-month change in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, defined as LDL value at 12 months minus LDL value at baseline.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants With an American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Guideline Concordant Statin Prescription at 12 Months

    12 months

  • Number of Participants With Chart Review Documented Statin-related Myotoxicity at 12 Months

    12 months

  • Number of Participants Meeting Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) Guidelines for Safe Simvastatin Prescription at 12 Months

    12 months

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Participant Response Distributions to Belief in Medications Questionnaire at 12 Months

    12 months

  • Number of Participants Recalling Pharmacogenetic Testing at 12 Months

    12 months

  • Number of Participants Reporting Statin-related Muscle Side Effects at 12 Months

    12 months

Study Arms (2)

PGx+

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the PGx+ (intervention) arm will have their SLCO1B1 results reported to their ordering provider immediately.

Genetic: SLCO1B1 Genotype

PGx-

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient in the PGx- (control) arm will have their SLCO1B1 results reported to their ordering provider at the end of the study (after 12 months).

Genetic: SLCO1B1 Genotype

Interventions

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for SLCO1B1 rs4149056, with possible results T/T, T/C, or C/C.

Also known as: SLCO1B1 Pharmacogenetic Test
