- NCT05966155
- Lead Sponsor
- Duke University
- Brief Summary
This study is comprised of three separate pharmacogenetic trials grouped into a single protocol due to similarities in the intervention, the hypotheses, and the trial design. The three trials are the Acute Pain Trial, the Chronic Pain Trial, and the Depression Trial. Participants can enroll in only one of the three trials. All three trials were registered on ClinicalTrials.gov under NCT04445792. In July 2023 each of the three treatment trials was registered under a separate NCT# and NCT04445792 was converted to a screening record per recent guidance on master protocol research programs (MPRPs). This record is specific to the Depression Trial within the ADOPT-PGx protocol.
The Depression Trial is a prospective, multicenter, two arm randomized pragmatic trial. Participants meeting eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to either immediate pharmacogenetic testing and genotype-guided anti-depressant therapy (Intervention arm) or standard care with 6-month delayed pharmacogenetic testing (Control arm). The investigators will test the hypothesis that pharmacogenetic testing and genotype-guided anti-depressant therapy will reduce depression symptoms in participants who's body processes some anti-depressants faster or slower than normal.
- Detailed Description
Pain and depression are conditions that impact substantial proportions of the US population. Finding safe and effective drug therapies for both conditions is challenging. In the case of treatment for acute and chronic pain, the challenge is finding effective therapy while minimizing adverse effects or opioid addiction (and the ensuing consequences). For depression, there are few clinically relevant predictors of successful treatment leading to multiple trials of inadequate therapy for some patients. Both opioid and antidepressant prescriptions can be guided by pharmacogenetics (PGx) data based on existing guidelines from the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC).
This study is designed to evaluate the impact of pharmacogenetic testing and genotype-guided pain or anti-depressant therapy on pain control or depression symptoms in a pragmatic setting.
The rationale for examining a genotype-guided approach to acute and chronic pain management is based on the importance of CYP2D6 for the bioactivation of tramadol, codeine, and hydrocodone and data from a pilot study supporting improved pain control in intermediate and poor CYP2D6 metabolizers in the genotype-guided arm who are taking these drugs at baseline. Similarly, the rationale for examining a genotype-guided approach to depression medication therapy is based on the demonstrated role of CYP2D6 in the bio inactivation and CYP2C19 oxidation of select, commonly used SSRIs. Secondly, data from industry sponsored trials support the hypothesis of improved depression symptom control in a genotype-guided arm.
Study objectives:
Determine if genotype-guided dosing or selection of antidepressants among participants with at least 3 months of depressive symptoms who require new or revised antidepressant therapy leads to improved control of depression, compared to usual care.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 3 Month Depression Symptom Control Change from Baseline Baseline and 3 months Depression symptom control, defined as change in PROMIS depression T-scores from baseline to 3-months in genotypic or pheno-converted CYP2D6 ultra-rapid or poor metabolizers or CYP2C19 ultra-rapid, rapid, or poor metabolizers
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 3 Month Medication Side Effect Burden Change from Baseline 3 months Side effect burden is defined as the number of side effects experienced from a specified list of possible side effects, weighted by the severity of each side effect in genotypic or pheno-converted CYP2D6 ultra-rapid or poor metabolizers or CYP2C19 ultra-rapid, rapid, or poor metabolizers
3 Month Medication Adherence Change from Baseline 3 months Medication adherence score derived from the Voils Medication Adherence survey in genotypic or pheno-converted CYP2D6 ultra-rapid or poor metabolizers or CYP2C19 ultra-rapid, rapid, or poor metabolizers
6 Month Depression Remission Change from Baseline 6 months Remission is defined as whether or not the summed raw responses to the PROMIS emotional distress depression survey is ≤ 16, corresponding to a participant respond "rarely" or "never" to most or all questions.
3 Month Change in PHQ of Depression Symptomatology Change from Baseline Scores baseline and 3 months Change in PHQ-8 scores between baseline and 3 months in genotypic or pheno-converted CYP2D6 ultra-rapid or poor metabolizers or CYP2C19 ultra-rapid, rapid, or poor metabolizers. Achieve 50% reduction in scores.
