Due to the narrow therapeutic window of warfarin, it is recommended that the international normalized ratio (INR) be monitored closely in patients receiving venetoclax and warfarin. Since similar increases in exposure were observed for both enantiomers, even though CYP2C9 is only involved in the metabolism of the S-enantiomer, and the half-life of both enantiomers remained the same, the interaction does not appear to be mediated via CYP2C9.
