Reflections on the Lack of Consideration of Ethnic Ancestry to Stratify Clozapine Dosing

Jose de Leon

Summary: This review article argues against relying on standard clozapine references, such as the US package insert, due to their lack of up-to-date knowledge in pharmacokinetics, pharmacovigilance, and consideration of ethnic ancestry's impact on dosing. The article discusses the minimum therapeutic dose needed to achieve a therapeutic concentration in serum/plasma and highlights the differences in dosing based on ethnic background. It also mentions the existence of recent international guidelines for clozapine titration and monitoring.

An International Adult Guideline for Making Clozapine Titration Safer by Using Six Ancestry-Based Personalized Dosing Titrations, CRP, and Clozapine Levels

Jose de Leon et al.

Summary: This international guideline suggests improving clozapine package inserts globally by utilizing ancestry-based dosing and gradual titration to prevent potential toxicity and ADRs. It defines six personalized titration schedules for different populations and recommends monitoring inflammation globally.

Association between myocarditis and antipsychotics other than clozapine: a systematic literature review and a pharmacovigilance study using VigiBase

Carlos De las Cuevas et al.

Summary: This review examines the association between antipsychotics (other than clozapine) and myocarditis through literature analysis and data from VigiBase. Quetiapine and olanzapine were found to have a significant statistical signal for myocarditis, with a high percentage of cases also involving co-prescription of clozapine. Further research is needed to investigate cases of myocarditis caused by antipsychotics during overdose or titration.

Valproate, obesity and other causes of clozapine poor metabolism in the context of rapid titration may explain clozapine-induced myocarditis: A re-analysis of a Turkish case series

Aygun Ertugrul et al.

Summary: This study investigates the potential mechanisms and influencing factors of clozapine-induced inflammation by examining the serum clozapine concentrations and titration patterns of patients. The findings suggest that clozapine metabolism differences (PM) may contribute to the development of inflammation, while obesity, concurrent use of valproate, and rapid titration speed may increase the risk of patients exhibiting clozapine PM.

COVID-19: Risks, Complications, and Monitoring in Patients on Clozapine

Selene R. T. Veerman et al.

Summary: The Dutch Clozapine Collaboration Group provides advice on managing clozapine-treated patients infected with or vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. Patients on clozapine may have a higher risk of infection and complications from COVID-19, such as increased plasma levels of clozapine and decreased white blood cell counts. It is recommended to monitor clozapine plasma levels and adjust dosages accordingly, while considering reduction in dose during COVID-19.

Elevated Clozapine Concentrations in Clozapine-Treated Patients with Hypersalivation

Georgios Schoretsanitis et al.

Summary: This study compared pharmacokinetic parameters between clozapine-treated patients with and without hypersalivation from a large therapeutic drug monitoring database. Patients with hypersalivation had higher clozapine plasma concentrations and concentrations-by-dose. Potential role for therapeutic drug monitoring in the prevention or management of clozapine-related hypersalivation is suggested based on the findings.

Summary: The study revealed significant regional disparities in clozapine prescribing in different areas of England, with only about a third of potentially eligible patients receiving the drug. The rate of clozapine prescribing in the UK was lower than in several European countries, highlighting regional inequity in access to the most effective treatment for refractory schizophrenia.

Fatal adverse drug reactions: A worldwide perspective in the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database

Jean-Louis Montastruc et al.

Summary: The study found that fatal ADRs recorded in a large pharmacovigilance database during the last 10 years accounted for just over 1% of the total number of ADRs. Fatal ADRs mainly occurred in males, patients over 65 years, and primarily involved antineoplastic/immunomodulating drugs. Additionally, the study highlighted important differences in fatal ADRs between continents and countries for the first time.
