About this study

Official title: Impact of Hypothermia on Midazolam and Morphine Pharmacokinetics

The purpose of the study will help us understand the complex interaction between hypothermia (cooling) and pharmacogenetics (how specific genes effect how drugs are handled), and their impact on how routinely given sedation drug are broken down and used by the body when given to children after cardiac arrest (when heart stops pumping blood) and are critically ill.

Read the detailed description

Background:

Therapeutic hypothermia is used in the pediatric intensive care unit, and is being studied in the setting of pediatric cardiac arrest. Following cardiac arrest, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, especially renal and hepatic dysfunction, is common and affects the metabolism and excretion of drugs. In addition, very little is known about the impact of hypothermia on a child's ability to metabolize medications. Dose adjustments may be required in the setting of hypothermia to avoid under-dosing and over-dosing of medications. Improper dosing and drug accumulation of sedatives and opiates can worsen existing neurologic, circulatory and respiratory failure. The measurement of the actual drug and metabolite concentrations in the body (pharmacokinetics) provides information on how a child metabolizes medications. In addition, variability in these concentrations after the administration of equal doses to different children may result from genetically driven differences in drug metabolizing systems (pharmacogenetics). Finally, these genetic differences may respond differently to hypothermia. Our overarching hypothesis is that morphine and midazolam disposition will be affected by temperature management even when accounting for potentially confounding quantifiable factors of organ dysfunction and genetic differences.

Objectives:

The objectives of this study, Hypothermia's Impact on Pharmacology 2, are

  1. To estimate the impact of hypothermia on the variability in morphine and midazolam pharmacokinetics in children after cardiac arrest and
  2. To estimate the impact of genetic factors on the variability in morphine and midazolam pharmacokinetics, specifically in the setting of hypothermia.

Sophisticated modeling and simulation techniques will be utilized to examine the highly dynamic changes in physiology associated with critical illness, drug disposition, pharmacogenetics and temperature modulation. The models created using this approach will be implemented to optimize the prospective treatment of these critically ill children.

Study Design:

Study groups in NCT01560338
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pediatric after Cardiac ArrestPediatric patients greater than 3 kg. and less than 18 years suffering cardiac arrest who have been given or currently receiving morphine and/or midazolam and receiving hypothermia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Physiologic manifestations of cardiac arrest and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) in relation to morphine and midazolam

    The objective of this aim is to identify the physiologic manifestations of cardiac arrest and MODS that underlie the variability in morphine and midazolam pharmacokinetics.

    Measured: 2.5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Impact of genetic factors

    The objective of this aim is to estimate the impact of genetic factors that underlie the variability in morphine and midazolam pharmacokinetics (PK), specifically in the setting of pediatric cardiac arrest. In this aim we will investigate the effect of genotype on pharmacokinetic parameters for morphine and midazolam.

    Measured: 2.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Arrest and Hypothermia, run by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia at 9 sites 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 2 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites 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?

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?

Physiologic manifestations of cardiac arrest and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) in relation to morphine and midazolam (time frame: 2.5 years). 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 2 Mar 2021.
