Trial summary

Opioids is known that produce not only analgesia but also hyperalgesia through activation of central glutaminergic system-GABA. At the same time, recently it was found that the main opioid receptor (OPRM1) is present on human granulosa cells and exogenous opiates and their antagonists can influence granulosa cell… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Fentanyl on Expression of Main Opioid Receptor (OPRM1) on Human Granulosa Cells During Ultrasound-guided Transvaginal Oocyte Retrieval.

Opioids is known that produce not only analgesia but also hyperalgesia through activation of central glutaminergic system-GABA. At the same time, recently it was found that the main opioid receptor (OPRM1) is present on human granulosa cells and exogenous opiates and their antagonists can influence granulosa cell vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production via OPRM1, causing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

This study aims to investigate if a single exposure to opioids is enough to produce activation of stress mechanism during oocyte retrieval.

The main opioid receptor (OPRM1) is present on human granulosa cells and exogenous opiates and their antagonists can influence granulosa cell vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production via OPRM1, causing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

This study aims to investigate if a single exposure to opioids is enough to produce activation of stress mechanism during ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval. It will be measured the level of cortisone before and 15min after iv administration of fentanyl on blood and on oocyte fluid.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stress Reaction and Opioid Use, run by George Papanicolaou Hospital at 1 site in Greece.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2017. 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 Greece. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Irene Asouhidou, MD, PhD (00302310999321, iasouh@aol.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

fentanyl (time frame: 15 minutes). 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 NCT03248076, which also lists 3 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 14 Dec 2017.
