About this study

Official title: Factors Associated With the Variance of Oral Methadone Dosage at Steady State of Maintenance Treatment: Description of Bio-markers of Phenotype and Genotype.

The purpose of this study is to describe clinical, pharmacokinetic and genetic factors associated with the variance of oral methadone dosage for patients at the steady state of heroin dependence maintenance treatment. The hypothesis is that the investigators can predict 70% of the variance with few factors, including CYP 3A4 function measured with oral midazolam challenge.

Read the detailed description

Patients at the steady state of methadone maintenance treatment may receive oral dosage ranging from 5 to 130 mg per day in our clinical practice. This study is aimed at providing a comprehensive cross-sectional description of factors involved in this variance:

  • comorbidity with addictive and psychiatric disorders
  • severity of pre-existing heroin dependence
  • function of CYP 3A4 enzyme assessed with oral midazolam challenge
  • genetic polymorphisms of enzymes implicated in methadone pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (CYPs, MDR1, OPRM1, COMT)

The expected result is a predictive equation of oral methadone dosage at steady state.

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional activity CYP3A4

    Functional activity CYP3A4 as measured by the ratio of metabolite / parent drug provided by the functional test the oral midazolam.

    Measured: Day15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heroin Dependence, 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 29 Sep 2016. 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?

Functional activity CYP3A4 (time frame: Day15). 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 NCT00894452, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 29 Sep 2016.
