About this study

Official title: Personalized Medicine: Pharmacogenetics Anomaly Research in Children and Adolescents With Pharmacological Resistance to Psychotropic Drugs

Psychotropic drugs are frequently used in children and adolescents in France with a prescription rate of 2.5%. Antipsychotics (PA) and antidepressants (AD), each concern 0.3% of the pediatric population (Kovess et al., 2015). Despite appropriate pharmacological treatment, some patients are drug-resistant and have persisting symptoms and ineffective psychotropic treatments. These children and adolescents are generally exposed to many psychotropic molecules and often to poly-therapy.

Most psychotropic treatments, especially AP and AD, are metabolised at the hepatic level by cytochrome P450 and in particular by CYP2D6. Duplication / multiplication of the CYP2D6 gene induces too rapid metabolism of drugs.

Demonstration of a CYP2D6 abnormality has a direct impact on the management of the patient and on the clinical decisions of the clinician. Thus, knowledge of individual metabolism will decrease the failure of treatment, improve quality of life and therapeutic compliance.

Psychotropic drugs are frequently used in children and adolescents in France with a prescription rate of 2.5%. Antipsychotics (PA) and antidepressants (AD) each concern 0.3% of the pediatric population (Kovess et al., 2015). Despite appropriate pharmacological treatment, some patients are drug-resistant and have persisting symptoms and ineffective psychotropic treatments. These children and adolescents are generally exposed to many psychotropic molecules and often to poly-therapy. Additionally, hospitalizations for child psychiatry, sometimes of prolonged duration, are frequent for these patients. In France, to date, the psychiatrist practitioner rarely uses pharmacogenetic evaluation as a complementary tool for prescribing psychotropic drugs. Nevertheless, an individualized prescription taking into consideration the patient's individual metabolism could greatly improve the benefit and reduce the risk of psychotropic treatments in the pediatric population.

Most psychotropic treatments, especially AP and AD, are metabolised at the hepatic level by cytochrome P450 and in particular by CYP2D6. Duplication / multiplication of the CYP2D6 gene induces too rapid metabolism of the drugs (ultrafast metabolizer). It is linked to a clinical inefficiency of treatments, and concerns up to 10% of the general population in southern Europe (Scordo et al., 2004).

In a preliminary study in Nice, an abnormality of CYP2D6 was found in 4 of the 7 patients tested with drug-resistant and / or with numerous adverse effects to the AP, of which 3 of the 5 pharmacologically resistant patients shows a duplication of the gene.

Demonstration of a CYP2D6 abnormality has a direct impact on the management of the patient and on the clinical decisions of the clinician. Thus, knowledge of individual metabolism will decrease the failure of treatment, improve quality of life and therapeutic compliance.

What is being measured

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

  1. prevalence of a CYP2D6 duplication or polymorphisms

    study the prevalence of a CYP2D6 duplication or polymorphisms associated with an ultrafast metabolizing phenotype in a population of children and adolescents who are drug-resistant to antipsychotic and antidepressant psychotropic drugs. performed by analysis of salivar sample

    Measured: At baseline

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Psychiatric diagnosis and comorbidities

    Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 DSM5

    Measured: At baseline

  2. Global Severity of illness

    Clinical Global Impression scale (échelle CGI-I)

    Measured: At baseline

  3. Severity of illness for children

    Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS)

    Measured: At baseline

  4. Current and previous psychotropic treatment

    Number of different molecules (antipsychotic antidepressant) used during the therapeutic history of the patient, duration of treatment with each molecule, type and maximum dose of current and previous psychotropic treatments.

    Measured: At baseline

  5. Side effects in different psychotropic treatments

    Type and severity of the adverse effects identified during the various psychotropic treatments will be collected. This collection will be carried out through the interrogation and study of the medical file

    Measured: At baseline

  6. New anomalies of CYP2D6 gene

    To look for any other abnormality of the CYP2D6 gene not known to be associated with an ultrafast metabolizing phenotype

    Measured: At baseline

  7. Description of the clinical phenotype of patients

    The characterization of the clinical phenotype will be carried out on the one hand by the standardized diagnostic interview MINI Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview

    Measured: At baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing gene abnormalities in people with Drug Resistance and Psychotropic Drugs, run by Fondation Lenval 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 1 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 26 Feb 2019. 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?

prevalence of a CYP2D6 duplication or polymorphisms (time frame: At baseline). 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 26 Feb 2019.
