About this study

Official title: Genetic Variability in the Cytochrome P-450 Isoenzyme 2D6 (CYP2D6) in an Active Duty U.S. Military Population and the Impact of CYP2D6 Phenotype on Primaquine Metabolism.

The investigator proposes to 2D6 (Cytochrome P-450 Isoenzyme 2D6) genotype and phenotype a group of active duty service members and assess the effects on primaquine metabolism.

Read the detailed description

The investigator propose to enroll a group of active duty service members in order to determine individuals' 2D6 isoenzyme genotype, an enzyme belonging to the hepatic cytochrome P450 oxidase system. The 2D6 isoenzyme is a key enzyme involved in the metabolism of many drugs including the anti-malarial drug primaquine (PQ). By knowing the genotype, the investigator can then categorize each volunteer by CYP2D6 phenotype i.e., expected impact on drug metabolism. In order to further substantiate the relationship between CYP2D6 activity, inadequate metabolism and subsequent primaquine failure, the investigator proposes to assess the effect of 2D6 genetic polymorphisms on PQ metabolism by measuring the PQ pharmacokinetics (PK) over 24 hours following a single 30 mg oral dose in a subset of these Active Duty subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Description of CYP2D6 alleles in an active duty population

    Genotyping of CYP2D6 alleles will be analyzed by a multiplexed cytometric bead array assay, Luminex xTAG® CYP2D6 Kit v3 (Austin, TX) which allows for detection of the 16 major alleles of 2D6 in the United States: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,15, 17,29, 35,41. Subjects will then be categorized by CYP2D6 phenotype according to standard definitions of enzyme metabolic activity of specific 2D6 alleles using the published activity score model: AS Model A (1): "poor" (PM), "intermediate" (IM), "extensive" (EM) or "ultra (UM)" enzyme activity compared to the general population. Alleles known to have no activity are scored "0", intermediate activity alleles are scored as 0.5, while alleles with normal activity are scored as 1. Scores of both alleles making up the genotype are then added together to give the AS-Model A score and range from 0 to 2, with 0 indicating little or no CYP2D6 activity and 1 or 2 indicating normal levels of CYP2D6. Data will be descriptively analyzed.

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. Measure concentrations of plasma primaquine and its major metabolites.

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Develop pharmacokinetic curves of primaquine and its major metabolites with determinations of Area under the curve (AUC)

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Primaquine in people with Pharmacologic Action, run by Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) 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 7 inclusion and 14 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 20 Oct 2021. 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 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.

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?

Description of CYP2D6 alleles in an active duty population (time frame: 1 hour). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02960568, 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 20 Oct 2021.
