Genetic Variation in Organic Cation Transport 1 (OCT1) and Its Significance for Morphine Pharmacokinetics

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Organic Cation Transporter 1
Morphine
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03425084
Lead Sponsor
University of Southern Denmark
Brief Summary

The main objective of the trial is to investigate the effect of known genetic variants in organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) on the effect of morphine after major surgery

Detailed Description

The purpose of the experiment is to investigate the effect of known genetic variants in organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) on the effect of morphine after major surgery. This is primarily done by investigating systemic exposure of morphine in a cohort of patients undergoing scheduled laparoscopic colon or laparoscopic rectum surgery, and as pain treatment with intravenous (iv) morphine at the end of and after surgery (primary endpoints). As a secondary endpoint, we will investigate the effect (pharmacodynamics) of morphine in the same patients by registering pain during rest and activity, side effects and the degree of sedation at appropriate time intervals.

GroupInterventionDescription
MorphineMorphineIntravenous morphine (0,15 mg/kg) will be given as a single dosis at the end of the surgery followed by morphine administrated by patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) as single boluses (0,04mg/kg)
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Morphine Area under the curve (AUC)Blood samples will be drawn at zero, five, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after the first morphine bolus

Difference in morphine AUC due to patient OCT1 status

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Morphine effectAfter the trial has ended (24 hours after the first morphine bolus) data containing morphine use will be collected.

The number of administrations of morphine will be recorded
