Rationale: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common presentation of atherosclerosis. For the prevention of adverse events related to arterial thrombosis in PAD patients, clopidogrel is recommended. Clopidogrel in itself is inactive and needs to be metabolized by cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) into the active metabolite. About 30% of PAD patients receiving clopidogrel is carrying one or two CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele(s) and do not or to a limited extent convert the prodrug into its active metabolites, and are therefore at increased risk of adverse clinical events related to arterial thrombosis. We hypothesize that genotype-guided prescription of antithrombotic treatment reduces adverse clinical events related to arterial thrombosis.
Objective: The primary aim of the GENPAD study is to evaluate the ability of genotype-guided antithrombotic treatment to reduce adverse clinical events related to arterial thrombosis in PAD patients. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the ability of genotype-guided antithrombotic treatment to reduce the separate elements of the primary composite outcome and to assess the risk of clinically relevant bleedings in patients allocated to the genotype-guided antiplatelet treatment versus standard clopidogrel prescription.
Study design: A randomized, controlled, open label, multicenter trial. Study population: Patients (n=2276) with PAD consulting a vascular surgeon for diagnosis and/or treatment, receiving clopidogrel according to the guidelines.
Intervention: Testing for carriage of the CYP2C19*2 and *3 loss-of-function alleles, followed by a genotype guided antithrombotic treatment with either clopidogrel 75mg once daily (normal metabolizers), clopidogrel 75mg twice daily (intermediate metabolizers), or low-dose rivaroxaban plus acetylsalicylic acid (poor metabolizers).
Comparator: All patients receive clopidogrel 75mg once daily without pharmacogenetic guidance.
Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary combined outcome is the occurrence of adverse clinical events related to arterial thrombosis at 24 months. The occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events, major adverse limb events, death and clinically relevant bleedings are the secondary endpoints.

Rationale: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common presentation of atherosclerosis, resulting in intermittent claudication, pain at rest or gangrene. For the prevention of adverse events related to arterial thrombosis in PAD patients, clopidogrel is recommended. Clopidogrel in itself is inactive and needs to be metabolized by cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) into the active metabolite. About 30% of PAD patients receiving clopidogrel is carrying one or two CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele(s) and do not or to a limited extent convert the prodrug into its active metabolites, and are therefore at increased risk of adverse clinical events related to arterial thrombosis and subsequent cardiovascular death. We hypothesize that genotype-guided prescription of antithrombotic treatment reduces adverse clinical events related to arterial thrombosis.
Objective: The primary aim of the GENPAD study is to evaluate the ability of genotype-guided antithrombotic treatment to reduce adverse clinical events related to arterial thrombosis in PAD patients. Adverse clinical events of interest are major adverse cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic arrack), major adverse limb events (acute/chronic limb ischemia of peripheral vascular intervention including amputation) and death. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the ability of genotype-guided antithrombotic treatment to reduce the separate elements of the primary composite outcome and to assess the risk of clinically relevant bleedings in patients allocated to the genotype-guided antiplatelet treatment versus standard clopidogrel prescription. Other objectives are to evaluate cost-effectiveness, to explore health state scores and health-related quality of life between study groups and metabolizer states and to set-up a biobank.
Study design: A randomized, controlled, open label, multicenter trial. Study population: Patients (n=2276) with PAD consulting a vascular surgeon for diagnosis and/or treatment, receiving clopidogrel according to the guidelines.
Intervention: Testing for carriage of the CYP2C19*2 and *3 loss-of-function alleles, followed by a genotype guided antithrombotic treatment with either clopidogrel 75mg once daily (normal metabolizers), clopidogrel 75mg twice daily (intermediate metabolizers), or low-dose rivaroxaban plus acetylsalicylic acid (poor metabolizers).
Comparator: All patients receive clopidogrel 75mg once daily without pharmacogenetic guidance.
Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary combined outcome is the occurrence of adverse clinical events related to arterial thrombosis at 24 months. The occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events, major adverse limb events, death and clinically relevant bleedings are the secondary endpoints. Health state, quality of life and medical consumption will be measured with validated questionnaire. Questionnaires will be used to assess which antithrombotic treatment the participant is receiving during follow-up, medication adherence and the occurrence of extramural adverse events at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months.
Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Participants will visit the hospital once for informed consent procedure, blood sample withdrawal and/or buccal sample collection This visit will be combined with a routine visit to the vascular surgeon or vascular laboratory. Patients might experience some discomfort while taking blood samples and buccal sample collection for a short amount of time. The follow-up of participants will range from 6 months (minimum) to 36 months (maximum). Participants are sent questionnaires at baseline and at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months, dependent on the duration of their follow-up. Completing the questionnaires will take approximately 30 minutes. Risks regarding the study are negligible and consist of the possible adverse events related to doubling the daily dose of clopidogrel or related to rivaroxaban and acetylsalicylic acid.

- The number of participants that experienced major adverse events [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The number of participants that experienced a major adverse cardiovascular events, major adverse limb events or death from any cause.
- The number of participants that experienced major adverse cardiovascular events [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The number of participants that experienced a myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attack or cardiovascular death.
- The number of participants that experienced major adverse limb events [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The number of participants that experienced acute limb ischemia, chronic limb ischemia or peripheral vascular intervention
- The number of participants that experienced major bleeding [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The number of participants that experienced major bleeding, including: 1) fatal bleeding, 2) symptomatic bleeding into a critical organ, 3) bleeding causing a fall in hemoglobin level of 20 g L-1 (1.24 mmol L-1) or more or leading to transfusion of two or more units of whole blood or red cells, and 4) bleeding into a surgical site requiring a second intervention.
- The number of participants that experienced clinically relevant bleeding [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The number of participants that experienced clinically relevant bleeding, including bleeding that led to: 1) hospitalization (including presentation to an acute care facility without an overnight stay), 2) a physician guided medical or surgical treatment for bleeding, or 3) a change in antithrombotic treatment.
- The cost-effectiveness of a CYP2C19 genotype-guided antithrombotic treatment strategy versus standard clopidogrel treatment [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The costs per adverse event avoided for CYP2C19 genotype-guided antithrombotic treatment strategy compared to standard clopidogrel treatment
- The difference in mean health state scores [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Health state score measured by the EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire five-level (EQ-5D-5L) will be determined at baseline and during follow-up. Patients score five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression) on 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems), resulting in a descriptive score of 5 consecutive numbers. The validated Dutch tariff for the EQ-5D-5L will convert the descriptive score to a continuous score (range -1 to 1) in which a higher value represents a better health state than a lower value..
- The difference in health-related quality of life scores [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Health-related quality of life measured by the abbreviated World Health Organization Quality of life questionnaire (WHOQoL-Bref) will be determined at baseline and during follow-up. Patients score their quality of life with 26 questions on 4 domains (physical, psychological, social relationships and environment). Each question can be answered by 1 to 5. Scores are scaled in a positive direction (i.e. higher scores denote higher quality of life). The mean score of individual items within each domain, multiplied by 4, represents the domain score (range 4 to 20). The mean of the domain scores is the health-related quality of life score (range 4 to 20).
