PPAP C-Section Trial Summary

This trial will develop a new platform to improve pain relief and reduce negative outcomes from opioids in breastfeeding mothers and their infants.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult women over 18, of any race, with a physical status suitable for elective Cesarean section (ASA 1-3), who plan to use opioids post-surgery and intend to breastfeed. It excludes those with severe preoperative pain or opioid misuse, allergies to oxycodone, liver disease, renal issues, multiple gestations, expected non-viable births or serious neonatal conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to develop a Personalized Perioperative Analgesia Platform (PPAP) that could improve pain management and reduce the adverse effects of opioids in new mothers and their babies after C-sections by using preoperative genotyping.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this genetic approach itself, standard opioid-related risks may include nausea, constipation, drowsiness or respiratory depression. The platform's goal is actually to minimize such side effects.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Look at genetic factors predisposing patients to immediate postoperative opioid-adverse effects Respiratory Depression (RD) and Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV)
Look at genetic factors predisposing patients to inadequate surgical pain relief with oxycodone
Secondary outcome measures
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.
Other outcome measures
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
Look at OPRM1 epigenetics and OPRM1, FAAH, GCH1, DRD2 variants to find correlations with opioid dependence (OD) up to 1-year post-surgery

PPAP C-Section Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Mother undergoing planned Cesarean sectionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Mother subject will have genotyping blood draw performed at the time of controlled delivery (CD). Blood samples and breast milk samples will also be taken during the oxycodone dosing schedule.
Group II: InfantExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Infant subject will have genotyping blood draw performed only at the time of controlled delivery (CD)
