Trial summary

Variation of morphine requirements are seen considerably. Studies showed that pharmacogenetics (PGx) could possibly be used to tailor pain medication according to an individual's genetic background. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: After the approval of the our institutional review board committee IRB at HAMAD MEDICAL CORPORATION (HMC), Doha, Qatar, and written, informed consent, 100 adult female patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I or II in whom planned postoperative pain management by morphine will be requested after laparoscopic cholecystectomy can will be included in this study; at the Wakrah Hospital, HMC. We planned to study 300 patients. If a genetic abnormality was found in 15% of patients and the average total morphine use in this subgroup was 40% lower than in the remainder of the patients, then there was 80% chance that a t test comparing average log-total morphine would be significant at P ≤ 0.05.

Who may be able to join

  • . They agree to participate and sign the informed consent
  • They are older than 18 years
  • They are women undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Who cannot join

  • . They have significant respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic diseases or diabetes.
  • They have history of allergy to morphine and those with bad experience to morphine side effects.

About this study

Official title: Can Gene Polymorphisms Influence Morphine Analgesic Consumption After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy? A Prospective Cohort Study.

Variation of morphine requirements are seen considerably. Studies showed that pharmacogenetics (PGx) could possibly be used to tailor pain medication according to an individual's genetic background. While prior studies demonstrated the association of genetic polymorphism with opioid requirements in various types of surgeries in Asian and European populations, there are no published data in Middle East populations especially Arabs. However, in our area we have a lot of theincity that may give us an answer for this research question.

Objectives: The primary Objective of this study is to investigate whether the genetic polymorphism of human μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1), ATP binding cassette gene (ABCB1) and rs2952768 are contributing to the variation of morphine consumption in women undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The secondary objective is to assess the effect of these genetic polymorphisms on pain score, analgesic dosage requirements, and complications of morphine use in these patients within the first 24 hours.

Background: Variation of morphine requirements are seen considerably. Studies showed that pharmacogenetics (PGx) could possibly be used to tailor pain medication according to an individual's genetic background. While prior studies demonstrated the association of genetic polymorphism with opioid requirements in various types of surgeries in Asian and European populations, there are no published data in Middle East populations especially Arabs.

Objectives: The primary Objective of this study is to investigate whether the genetic polymorphism of human μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1), ATP binding cassette gene (ABCB1) and rs2952768 are contributing to the variation of morphine consumption in women undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The secondary objective is to assess the effect of these genetic polymorphisms on pain score, analgesic dosage requirements, and complications of morphine use in these patients within the first 24 hours.

Methods: This is a pilot prospective cohort study to be conducted at Al-Wakrah Hospital, HMC after receiving IRB approval from MRC. The aim is to recruit 100 adult female Arab patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I or II in whom planned postoperative pain management by morphine will be requested after laparoscopic cholecyctectomy Baseline demographic information will be collected at baseline along with 4ml blood sample for genotyping. Morphine will be administered repeatedly for postoperative pain relief and the total dose administered within the first 24 hours will be collected. The analgesic effect will be evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Multiple linear regression will be used to evaluate the association of the genetic variant groups with the morphine dose and the pain score after adjusting for different confounders. Logistic regression will be used to evaluate the association of side effect of vomiting and respiratory depression with the genetic variants. Baseline characteristic values will be reported as mean ± SD for continuous variables or frequency and percentage for categorical variables. A priori P value of ≤ 0.05 will be considered significant. All analyses will be done using the Statistical version 25 of SPSS software.

What is being measured

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

  1. genetic polymorphism of human Opioid receptors

    The primary Objective of this study is to investigate whether the genetic polymorphism of human μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1), ATP binding cassette gene (ABCB1) and rs2952768 are contributing to the variation of morphine consumption in women undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

    Measured: Day One (D1)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The effect of genetic polymorphisms on pain score and analgesic dosage requirements

    The secondary objective is to assess the effect of these genetic polymorphisms on pain score, analgesic dosage requirements, and complications of morphine use in these patients within the first 24 hours.

    Measured: Day One (D1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gene and Polymorphosis, run by Hamad Medical Corporation at 1 site in Qatar.

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 3 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 8 Feb 2023. 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 Qatar. 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?

genetic polymorphism of human Opioid receptors (time frame: Day One (D1)). 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 NCT04621864, 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 8 Feb 2023.
