Trial summary

The use of titrated drugs is at the base of a successful antalgic treatment in order to provide both an adequate relief and a satisfactory tolerability profile. These molecules, though, have a varying degree of efficacy in different subjects due to medical and genetic reasons. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Exploratory Study of Cytochrome P450's Pharmacogenomics in Chronic Pain Patients

The use of titrated drugs is at the base of a successful antalgic treatment in order to provide both an adequate relief and a satisfactory tolerability profile. These molecules, though, have a varying degree of efficacy in different subjects due to medical and genetic reasons. The latter are mainly represented by cytochrome (CYP) P450, in particular CYP2D6's polymorphisms are responsible for the diversified metabolism of analgesics used in chronic pain treatments.

Four main types of enzymatic metabolism make up the population, each one defined by a different CYP2D6 allele: extensive metabolizers, ultra-rapid metabolizers, intermediate metabolizers and poor metabolizers.

Moreover, regarding polytherapies, the analgesics' metabolism could be influenced by coadministration of other drugs, thus determining an inhibition or induction of the metabolic enzymes - known as phenocopying - and potentially also a change in the metabolic phenotype itself. The final outcome is the inconstancy of effectiveness and of the risk of developing side effects.

The primary objective of this study is to define a genetic pattern for the gene CYP2D6 by assessing the incidence of poor or ultrarapid metabolizers in a population of chronic pain patients. This will also allow to observe phenocopying in the same population.

Hence 100 patients diagnosed with chronic pain will be enrolled. The genetic pattern of the gene CYP2D6 of such patients will be examined by taking mouth samples. At the same time parametric tests for paired data to survey the correlations between phenotypical patterns and pharmacological therapies will be conducted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Analgesia and CYP2D6 Polymorphism, run by University of Bologna at 1 site in Italy.

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 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 29 Mar 2018. 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 Italy. 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?

Analyzing the genetic pattern of CYP2D6's genes (time frame: 8-10 months). 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 NCT03411759, 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 29 Mar 2018.
