Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this collaborative CTSA application is to develop an innovative perioperative precision analgesia platform (PPAP) to improve analgesia and reduce serious immediate and long-term adverse outcomes of perioperative opioids in children undergoing painful surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aim 1. Develop and implement a perioperative precision analgesia platform (PPAP) by linking genomics to opioid metabolism, CPIC guidelines, precision dosing, clinical safety, and personalizing analgesia

Aim 2. Implement and evaluate PPAP in children undergoing major inpatient surgery, posterior spinal fusion (PSF)

1. Determine genetic factors predisposing children to immediate and long-term postoperative methadone and oxycodone related adverse effects including RD, PONV, opioid dependence, and CPSP The investigators postulate that specific CYP2B6, ABCB1, OPRM1, FAAH, and CYP2D6 variants identify children at risk for poor pain relief, RD, PONV, opioid dependence, and CPSP in the postoperative period.
2. Determine genetic variants-based perioperative dosing and outpatient prescribing of opioids

The investigators hypothesize that CYP2B6 and CYP2D6 variants will explain pharmacokinetic variations of methadone and oxycodone, determine the right doses, and implement precision opioid use for optimal clinical outcomes

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Children undergoing Spine Fusion Surgery

This arm will include approximately 300 children undergoing spine fusion surgery

1. Pharmacokinetic (PK): collection of 10-13 serial blood samples to determine serum levels of methadone/oxycodone and its metabolites
2. Pharmacogenetic (PG): Preoperative CYP2D6 genotyping (for preferential recruitment of CYP2D6 PMs and UMs). This will be collected in the pre-operative clinic via blood if there are clinical labs needed for standard of care. If no blood is needed in the pre-op clinic, the investigators will collect this via saliva.

Postoperative Analgesia Dose and PK Sampling Schedule:

Clinical care providers are blinded to CYP2D6/CYP2B6 when prescribing oxycodone/methadone; and genetic analysis of proposed targeted genes. Results of these samples will be used to determine personalized analgesia plan.
