About this trial

The proposed research is an important extension of an ongoing perioperative personalized analgesia and intravenous opioid pharmacogenetic research. This research focuses on two of the most commonly used oral opioid analgesics, oxycodone, and methadone in elderly adults undergoing cardiac surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Elderly cardiac surgical patients over 60 years of age

Disqualifiers

Methadone allergy

Morbid obesity (BMI >40kg/cm2)

Severe sleep apnea

Severe pulmonary disease requiring oxygen therapy

Trial population

Elderly cardiac surgical patients over 60 years of age Both genders are included All races and ethnic groups undergoing elective open cardiac surgery through midline sternotomy

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Determine Genetic Factors - Opioid Related Adverse Events (RD)

Respiratory depression will be measured with binary yes/no responses obtained either via self-report from the patient or reported by the clinical care staff.

Time frame
Immediately post-surgery during hospital stay
2

Determine Genetic Factors - Opioid Related Adverse Events (PONV)

Post-operative nausea and vomiting will be measured with binary yes/no responses obtained either via self-report from the patient or reported by the clinical care staff.

Time frame
Immediately post-surgery during hospital stay
3

Determine Genetic Factors - Opioid Related Adverse Events (Excessive Sedation)

Excessive sedation will be measured with binary yes/no responses obtained either via self-report from the patient or reported by the clinical care staff.

Time frame
Immediately post-surgery during hospital stay
4

Determine Genetic Factors - Uncontrolled severe pain

We postulate that specific CYP2B6, ABCB1, OPRM1, FAAH, and ORM1 genetic variants identify patients at risk for poor pain relief and ORADE with methadone in the immediate post-surgical period. Pain will be measured by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) in which 0 = no pain at all and 10 = worst pain imaginable. This will be self-reported responses by the patient.

Time frame
Immediately post-surgery during hospital stay

Secondary outcomes

1

Opioid use post-operatively

Opioid usage will be recorded via SOAPP-R, a 24-item validated opioid assessment. A score of 18 or higher is considered positive.

Time frame
Post-operative Day 5 to 6-months post-operative
2

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System

The PROMIS-29 v2.0 will be collected for this outcome measure. The PROMIS survey is scored by the following T-Score Cut Points: 20-55 = better health, 55-60 = mild, 61-69 = moderate, and 71+ = worse health. The general population mean = 50 (SD = 10).

Time frame
Post-operative Day 5 to 6-months post-operative
3

Incidence of Chronic Persistent Surgical Pain (CPSP)

CPSP will be obtained via patient-self report as yes/no responses for follow-up assessments. This measure will be reported as mean(SD) for positive CPSP subjects.

Time frame
Post-operative Day 5 to 6-months post-operative
