About this study

Official title: Developmental Regulation of CYPs 1A2, 2D6, 3A4

This is a drug metabolism study in one-year old children involving caffeine and dextromethorphan.

Read the detailed description

For many years, it has been considered dogma that drug biotransformation capability is limited at best in the fetus and newborn but increases over the first year of life to levels in toddlers and young children that generally exceed adult capacity. There are several situations where examination of clinical PK data has revealed discernable patterns of drug clearance that can be attributed to developmental differences in drug biotransformation. It has become apparent that there are developmental differences in expression among drug metabolizing enzyme families (cytochromes P450 or "CYPs", etc.) Furthermore, individual drug metabolizing enzymes with in a family may have unique developmental profiles that influence the therapeutic response, desired or undesired, to a given agent.

All subjects will have a single 5 ml venous blood sample taken upon admission to the study. All subjects will be given a single oral dose of caffeine and dextromethorphan. Patients will be allowed to consume their normal age appropriate diet around the time of study drug administration and through the sample collection periods. All spontaneously voided urine will be collected for a period of 12 hours following the caffeine and dextromethorphan administration

The specific aim of this proposal is to extend the current longitudinal investigation into the preschool age group (1 to 5 years of age). The developmental profile of CYPs, 1A2, 2D6, and 3A4 will be determined by caffeine and dextromethorphan phenotyping procedures. The purpose of this study is to determine the age/developmental stage at which the CYP2 1A2, 2D6 and 3A4 activities exceed adult activities.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Genotyping and Phenotyping using dextromethorphan and caffeine as probesProcedure or surgery

    Single doses of dextromethorphan (0.3 mg/kg)and caffeine (3.0 mg/kg) are administered and urine is collected overnight for measurement of drug and metabolites to determine drug biotransformation activity.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in CYP2D6 Drug Metabolism Phenotype With Age

    Concentrations of dextromethorphan(DM) and it's metabolite dextrorphan (DX) are quantified in urine and used to estimate the activity of cytochromes P450 2D6 using the well established DM/DX ratio. The longitudinal study design allows for changes in drug metabolism activity as a function of age which can be characterized via least squares regression where the slope of age vs. DM/DX ratio is examined for deviations from zero.

    Measured: every 6 months for 5 years

  2. Change in CYP3A4 Drug Metabolism Phenotype With Age

    Concentrations of dextromethorphan (DM) metabolites 3-hydroxymorphinan (3HM) and dextrorphan (DX) are quantified in urine and used to estimate the activity of cytochrome P450 3A4 using the well established 3HM/DX ratio. The longitudinal study design allows for changes in drug metabolism activity as a function of age which can be characterized via least squares regression where the slope of age vs. 3HM/DX ratio is examined for deviations from zero.

    Measured: every 6 months for 5 years

  3. Change in CYP1A2 Drug Metabolism Phenotype With Age

    Concentrations of caffeine metabolites 5-Acetylamino-6-amino-3-methyluracil (AAMU), 1-methylxanthine (1MX), 1-methyluric acid (1MU), and 1,7-dimethyluric acid (17MU) are quantified in urine and used to estimate the activity of cytochrome P450 1A2 using the well established (AAMU+1MX+1MU)/1,7U ratio. The longitudinal study design allows for changes in drug metabolism activity as a function of age which can be characterized via least squares regression where the slope of age vs. (AAMU+1MX+1MU)/1,7U ratio is examined for deviations from zero.

    Measured: every 6 months for 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Aug 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in CYP2D6 Drug Metabolism Phenotype With Age (time frame: every 6 months for 5 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Sep 2017.
