About this study

Official title: Utilizing Pharmacogenomics Information in Enhancing Post-operative Total Joint Replacement Pain Management: A Pilot Study

The objective of this study is to see how pain management and its outcomes are effected when pharmacogenomic testing is used to determine patient specific pain medication and dosing. Our goal is to determine if through the use of analgesic genetic testing, TKA post-operative patients will see a decrease in narcotic consumption, postsurgical opioid- related adverse reactions, and length of stay, overall NRS pain scores and while maintaining or improving their satisfaction scores.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot study that will look at how pain management will be effected when pharmacogenomic testing is utilized to select and dose narcotic pain medications prescribed for breakthrough pain in post-operative total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. Patients will receive individualized analgesics and doses for pain mitigation based on genetic testing results. Post op pain scores, narcotic consumption, adverse reactions, length of stay and patient satisfaction with pain management will be collected and analyzed to determine the significance of the pharmacogenomic analgesic testing.

Due to the lack of literature and evidence surrounding pharmacogenomics and its use in selecting analgesics to control post-operative pain a pilot study is being conducted to evaluate effect size (statistical variability) in an attempt to predict an appropriate sample size for a larger scale randomized control trial. The subjects enrolled and data collected for this internal pilot will be used in the larger scale parent study as well.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Genetic Panel for Analgesics in people with Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee and Pain, Postoperative, run by TriHealth Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2021. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Pain Scores (time frame: Surgery to 6 weeks postop (+/- 2 weeks)). 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 25 Feb 2021.
