CVS Caremark Corporation Research Report

On November 13, 2013, CVS Caremark Corporation (CVS Caremark) issued a press release regarding a study conducted by researchers from the Company and from Brigham and Women's Hospital, exploring the impact of genetic testing on prescribing patterns for cardiovascular therapy. According the CVS Caremark, the study, which was published in the November 2013 issue of the American Heart Association journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, showed that only one in five patients who tested as poor metabolizers of the blood thinner clopidogrel had their antiplatelet therapy changed as recommended by the U. S. FDA. In addition, the study found that prescribers declined genetic testing in 25% of cases evaluated, while less than 10% of patients who were directly offered the genetic evaluation declined testing. As per the release, the researchers concluded that the prescribing patterns noted in the study likely reflect the unclear impact and physician uncertainty regarding the rapidly evolving body of evidence for pharmacogenomics.
