Summary

Several case reports indicate that the use of the antibiotic combination amoxicillin and clavulanic acid (AM-CLAVAC) can interact with warfarin pharmacodynamics. However, fever per se might also be responsible of these warfarin overdose reports, as well as the use of high dose paracetamol. The aim of the present study is to determine if AM-CLAVAC can increase the pharmacodynamics of warfarin among patients at steady state Double blinded cross over controlled study vs placebo performed in 12 evaluable patients treated with warfarin with an INR target 2 to 3 and a stable INR and a stable dose.

Clinical Details

Official title: Pharmacodynamic Drug Interaction Between Warfarin and Amoxicillin-clavulanic Acid

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacodynamics Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: INR at day one and seven (delta Day7-Day1)

Secondary outcome: % of patients with an INR>3.5 during each study period mean INR during each study period effect of VKORC1 genetic polymorphism trough blood concentrations of S and R warfarin at day1 and day7 (delta) during each study period

Detailed description: Double blinded cross over controlled study vs placebo performed in 12 evaluable patients treated with warfarin with an INR target 2 to 3 and a stable INR and a stable dose One period : seven consecutive days of amoxicillin(2g twice daily)- clavulanic acid (125 mg twice daily) association Wash out period of at least 4 weak with the return to a stable INR and warfarin dose One period : seven consecutive days of placebo twice daily Main outcome INR delta Day7-Day
