SMART Apps
We have also developed two SMART-on-FHIR apps for drug-drug interactions of importance. Both SMART apps are available for testing in the Logica and OpenEpic sandboxes. Both apps are available at https://ddi-cds.org/apps/
- CDS for colchicine and inhibitors of both Cytochrome P450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein: This SMART app focuses on supporting clinician decision making for situations where a patient is at risk for an adverse event due to colchicine toxicity caused by inhibition of the metabolism of colchicine by an inhibitor of both Cytochrome P450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein. The SMART app triggers on the relevant drug combinations and suggests viable alternatives to the CYP3A4 or P-gp inhibitor. The app uses data about the patient’s kidney function present in the EHR to communicate that the risk of patient harm is even greater for if the patient’s kidney function is poor.
- CDS for tizanidine and inhibitors of Cytocrhome P450 1A2: This SMART app focuses on situations where a patient is at risk for an adverse event due to tizanidine toxicity caused by inhibition of the metabolism of tizanidine by an inhibitor of CYP1A2. This interaction is of great concern because ciprofloxacin, fluvoxamine and zafirlukast inhibit CYP1A2 and can increase the tizanidine area-under-the-concentration time curve (AUC) by more than 5-fold. Our recent study of spontaneous reports in FAERS identified safety signals between tizanidine and the CYP1A2 inhibitors ciprofloxacin (ROR for hypotension: 6.3 (95%CI: 4.7 to 8.5)), fluvoxamine (ROR for hypotension: 11.4 (95% CI: 4.5 to 28.8)), and zafirlukast (ROR for falls: 16.0 (95% CI: 95% 6.1-42.1)).
