About this trial

The purpose of this collaborative CTSA (Clinical and Translational Science Award) application is to develop an innovative perioperative precision analgesia platform (PPAP) to improve analgesia and reduce serious immediate and long-term adverse outcomes of perioperative opioids in breastfeeding mothers and their infants

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Look at genetic factors predisposing patients to immediate postoperative opioid-adverse effects Respiratory Depression (RD) and Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV)

The investigators will look at specific CYP2D6, ABCB1, FAAH, OPRM1, and COMT variants to find correlations with patients who experience RD and PONV in the immediate post-surgical period (4 days) in the hospital

Time frame
Immediately post-surgery during hospital stay
2

Look at genetic factors predisposing patients to immediate postoperative opioid-adverse effects Respiratory Depression (RD) and Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV)

The investigators will look at specific CYP2D6, ABCB1, FAAH, OPRM1, and COMT variants to find correlations with patients who experience RD and PONV in the post-surgical period at home up to 1-year

Time frame
At home up to 1 year post-surgery
3

Look at genetic factors predisposing patients to inadequate surgical pain relief with oxycodone

The investigators will look at specific CYP2D6, ABCB1, FAAH, OPRM1, and COMT variants to find correlations with patients who experience poor pain relief in the immediate post-surgical period (4 days) in the hospital. Poor pain relief will be measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), which runs on a 0-10 scale; 0 being no pain at all, 10 being the worst pain imaginable.

Time frame
Immediately post-surgery during hospital stay
4

Look at genetic factors predisposing patients to inadequate surgical pain relief with oxycodone

The investigators will look at specific CYP2D6, ABCB1, FAAH, OPRM1, and COMT variants to find correlations with patients who experience poor pain relief in the post-surgical period at home up to 1-year. Poor pain relief will be measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), which runs on a 0-10 scale; 0 being no pain at all, 10 being the worst pain imaginable.

Time frame
At home up to 1 year post-surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Look at the impact of CYP2D6 variants on oxycodone's clinical dosing in patients to see if specific variants correlate with a need for lower or higher doses of analgesic.

The investigators will look at CYP2D6 variants to find correlations in oxycodone's PK sampling and the need for dose adjustments that lead to desired clinical outcomes in women undergoing a cesarean section and their infant.

Time frame
Pre-operative to post-operative day 2

Other outcomes

1

Look at OPRM1 epigenetics and OPRM1, FAAH, GCH1, DRD2 variants to find correlations with chronic persistent surgical pain (CPSP) up to 1-year post-surgery

Patients will be asked to complete psychological questionnaires post-surgery to assess psycho-psychological factors that may correlate with CPSP. CPSP is defined as pain that develops after a surgical procedure and lasts at least 3 months and significantly affects health-related quality of life.

Time frame
Post-operative up to 1-year
2

Look at OPRM1 epigenetics and OPRM1, FAAH, GCH1, DRD2 variants to find correlations with opioid dependence (OD) up to 1-year post-surgery

Patients will be asked to complete psychological questionnaires post-surgery to assess psycho-psychological factors that may correlate with opioid dependence (OD). OD will be determined using the validated Sophia Observation Withdrawal Symptoms Scale (SOS). The SOS is based on a 15-point scale.

Time frame
Post-operative up to 1-year
3

Look at OPRM1 epigenetics and OPRM1, FAAH, GCH1, DRD2 variants to find correlations with opioid dependence (OD) up to 1-year post-surgery

Patients will be asked to complete psychological questionnaires post-surgery to assess psycho-psychological factors that may correlate with opioid dependence (OD). OD will be determined using the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS). The COWS is based on a scale with a minimum score of 5 and maximum score of 48; 5-12 = mild, 13-24 = moderate, 25-36 = moderately severe, more than 36 = severe withdrawal

Time frame
Post-operative up to 1-year
