About this study

Official title: The Effects of Cytochrome P450 2D6 Genotype on Pain Management With Codeine in Sickle Cell Disease

The objective of this study is to determine if a subject's genetic make-up would affect the treatment response to codeine in subjects with sickle cell disease.

Read the detailed description

People with sickle cell disease require oral pain medications to manage an acute pain crisis. Sometimes these individuals fail to obtain adequate pain relief with the medications prescribed for outpatient use resulting in emergency room visits and hospital admissions. Subsequently, many patients are admitted to the hospital for pain management for a few days until the pain crisis resolves. The most common medications prescribed to sickle cell individuals for outpatient use include codeine and hydrocodone containing medications (i.e. Tylenol #3™, Vicodin™, Lortab™). These medications must be broken down in the body to make the active pain reliever (morphine or hydromorphone, respectively). Some individuals may not be able to break down these medications to the active pain reliever; therefore, these individuals will likely continue to experience pain unless they take other pain medications. We will determine whether genotype estimates the ability of CYP2D6 to break down codeine to the active pain reliever in individuals with sickle cell disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Codeine (30 mg) in people with Sickle Cell Disease, run by PriCara, Unit of Ortho-McNeil, Inc. 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 30 Jun 2011. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Plasma morphine and codeine concentrations. The study lists 2 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 30 Jun 2011.
