About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic, Pharmacogenetic Relationships of Morphine and Metabolites After Severe Postoperative Pain in Adults

The main objective of this study is to improve our knowledge on the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacogenetic relationships of morphine administered to relief severe postoperative pain. The analysis will encompass the efficacy (acute during titration and subacute during the first 24 hours) and adverse effects of morphine. Our purpose is also to better characterize the age- and sex-related differences which probably markedly differ between the two periods (acute vs sub acute).

Read the detailed description

No previous study attempted to characterize the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacogenetic relationships of morphine in the early postoperative period, whereas it is the main clinical situation for severe pain and a unique model for its study (not possible in the healthy volunteer). Indeed, intravenous titration of morphine is the first step for pain control in the postanesthesia care unit. Administration of intravenous boluses of morphine enables to obtain complete pain relief in 98% of the patients. We intend to study the effects of morphine (intravenous titration then patient-controlled intravenous administration (PCA) for 24 hours), perform dosages of plasma concentration of morphine an its main metabolites, and also study gene polymorphisms coding for main proteins involved in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of morphine (hepatic metabolism, distribution and elimination, interaction with morphine receptor). Five hundred patients scheduled for major orthopedic surgery will be included in this prospective study. The main objective of this study is to improve our knowledge on the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacogenetic relationships of morphine administered to relief severe postoperative pain. The analysis will encompass the efficacy (acute during titration and subacute during the first 24 hours) and adverse effects of morphine. Our purpose is also to better characterize the age- and sex-related differences which probably markedly differ between the two periods (acute vs subacute). We consider that this knowledge is important to confirm or not several important concepts currently used to define the appropriate analgesic regimen to control severe pain in the postoperative period.

What is being measured

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

  1. To improve our knowledge on the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic relationships of morphine administered after severe postoperative pain.

    Measured: during the study

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. - Relationships between morphine consumption, clinical events (efficacy or adverse effects) and morphine (and metabolites) blood concentrations. Immediate postoperative period (PACU)

    Measured: Immediate postoperative period (PACU)

  2. - Relationships between clinical events (pain relief, failure in pain relief, adverse effects) and genetic polymorphism.

    Measured: Immediate postoperative period (PACU)

  3. - Relationships between sub-acute clinical events and PK/PG profile. (on the wards at 24 hours after surgery)

    Measured: on the wards at 24 hours after surgery

  4. To better characterize the age- and sex-related differences which differ between acute and sub-acute periods.

    Measured: during the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Orthopaedic Surgery, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 6 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 11 Dec 2012. 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 France. 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?

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?

To improve our knowledge on the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic relationships of morphine administered after severe postoperative pain. (time frame: during the study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00822549, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Dec 2012.
