About this study

Official title: Pharmacokinetics of Morphine and Oxycodone in Frail Elderly Undergoing Cardiac Surgery - AGE AWARE II

  • Single centre observational cohort study.
  • 20 older patients undergoing cardiac surgery who receive standard of care pain treatment.
  • Postoperative ICU: blood sampling to determine morphine and metabolite (M3G, M6G, noroxycodone and oxymorphone) pharmacokinetics
  • After ICU discharge on general ward: blood sampling to determine morphine, oxycodone and metabolite (M3G, M6G, noroxycodone and oxymorphone) pharmacokinetics
  • During study monitoring of pain scores, total opioid consumption, side effects (e.g. nausea, vomiting, pruritus), sedation and delirium scores.
Read the detailed description

Postoperative pain after cardiac surgery in elderly patients is common and leads to postoperative complications. Opioids play an important role in treatment of postoperative pain after cardiac surgery. In frail elderly after cardiac surgery however dosing schemes for opioids are still unknown, potentially leading to inadequate treatment of pain and/or safety issues.

  • Single center observational cohort study
  • The study population includes frail patients ≥70 years undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
  • Primary endpoints of this study is the concentration of morphine, oxycodone and metabolites in blood over time on behalf of pharmacokinetic modelling.
  • Secondary endpoints of this study are the pharmacodynamic parameters of morphine, oxycodone and metabolites (M3G, M6G, noroxycodone and oxymorphone) in blood in frail patients; such as pain scores, postoperative opioid consumption, vital signs, side effects of opioids and the influence of covariates such as frailty, serum creatinine, Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of morphine and oxycodone.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Morphine & OxycodoneDrug

    Also called Morphine HCl CF 10mg/mL solution for injection / infusion, OxycodoneHCl G.L. tablet 5/10mg., OxycodoneHCl Retard Lannacher 5/10/20 mg.

    Morphine and Oxycodone are used in daily practice as part of standard care. Morphine and Oxycodone will be acquired through the clinical pharmacy of St Antonius and administered according to the standard postoperative pain protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. M3G concentration in blood over time

    Analysis of serum concentrations of M3G, metabolite of morphine, for pharmacokinetic modelling

    Measured: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge

  2. M6G concentration in blood over time

    Analysis of serum concentrations of M6G, metabolite of morphine, for pharmacokinetic modelling

    Measured: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge

  3. Noroxycodone concentration in blood over time

    Analysis of serum concentrations of Noroxycodone, metabolite of oxycodone, for pharmacokinetic modelling

    Measured: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge

  4. Oxymorphone concentration in blood over time

    Analysis of serum concentrations of Oxymorphone, metabolite of oxycodone, for pharmacokinetic modelling

    Measured: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS; 0-10, 0 = none, 10 = severe)

    NRS as pain measurement scale, reported by nurse in standard care, for pharmacodynamic modelling

    Measured: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge

  2. Postoperative opioid consumption

    Postoperative opioid consumption, mg per 24 hour, for pharmacodynamic modelling

    Measured: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge

  3. Side effects of opioids

    Side effects of opioids (pruritis, vomiting, constipation, nausea), dichotomous (yes/no) each day by nurse/researcher, for pharmacodynamic modelling

    Measured: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge

  4. Vital sign observation: bloodpressure (in mmHg) by nurse

    Systolic and diastolic bloodpressure (SBP, DBP), reported by nurse in standard care for pharmacodynamic modelling

    Measured: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge

  5. Vital sign observation: heartrate (in beats/minute) by nurse

    Heartrate (HR) reported by nurse in standard care for pharmacodynamic modelling

    Measured: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge

  6. Vital sign observation: saturation (in %) by nurse

    Saturation (SpO2), reported by nurse in standard care for pharmacodynamic modelling

    Measured: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Opioid Use and Side Effect of Drug, run by St. Antonius Hospital at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 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 23 Jun 2022. 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 Netherlands. 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?

M3G concentration in blood over time (time frame: Until three consecutive days after ICU discharge). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Jun 2022.
