Clinical Trial Summary

Cytochromes P450, main enzymes of drug metabolism, play a prominent role in the first-pass metabolism of oral substances. Inter-individual variability in their activity due to genetic and environmental factors has been observed and may be associated with adverse therapeutic outcomes (ineffectiveness or toxicity). The inflammation, whether acute or chronic, can theoretically modulate the pharmacokinetics of drugs by modulating enzyme activity. Indeed, in vitro data and animal models, as well as more limited data in humans, indicate a down-regulation of CYP in the context of inflammation.

The cocktail approach developed and validated in Geneva ("cocktail Geneva") measures the activity of several CYP simultaneously using micro-doses of probe drugs and facilitating sampling (10uL capillary blood) on a dried blood spot.

We intend to measure the activity of CYP in an acute inflammation model (hip surgery and SARS-CoV-2 infection) and chronic inflammation (rheumatoid arthritis, RA). The effect of the biological agent tocilizumab (anti IL-6 receptor) in a treated patient subgroup (patients treated regardless of our study) will be measured after 3 months of treatment.

The main objective is to determine if interleukin 6 levels are correlated with the activity of CYP450 in patients with acute (orthopedic surgery - hip or SARS-CoV-2 infection) or chronic inflammation (RA).

Secondary objectives are:

• To correlate CYPs activities with the levels of other inflammatory markers (CRP, TNF-α, IL-1β, IFN-γ);

• To assess correlation between markers of inflammation, CYP activities and the intensity of fatigue and pain;

• To assess if tocilizumab reverse CYP activity in patients with RA after 3 months treatment;

• To assess if SARS-CoV-2 infection modify pharmacokinetic parameters of concomitant medications which are CYPs substrates

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Evaluate the impact of IL6 levels on the activity of CYPs in patients with acute (post orthopaedic surgery -hip or post SARS-CoV-2 infection) and chronic (rheumatoid arthritis) inflammation.	The phenotyping probe drugs used in this study will be given as 2 capsules: one capsule of Omeprazole 10 mg and one capsule containing the remaining probe 'cocktail' drugs (caffeine 50 mg, flurbiprofen 10 mg, dextromethorphan 10 mg, midazolam 1 mg, bupropion 20 mg).; The enzymatic activities of the following CYP will be assessed by specific metabolite/probe single point concentration ratios (metabolic ratios-MR) in capillary blood: CYP1A2; CYP2B6; CYP2C9; CYP2C19; CYP2D6; CYP3A4	1 week
Secondary	Evaluate the correlation between the activity of CYPs and CRP levels	The routine concentration of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) will be measured in blood	1 week or 3 months
Secondary	Evaluate the correlation between the activity of CYPs and TNF-a levels	TNF-a blood concentrations will be measured by using the Fluorokine MAP Cytokine Multiplex Elisa.	1 week or 3 months
Secondary	Evaluate the correlation between the activity of CYPs and IL-1ß levels	IL-1ß blood concentrations will be measured by using the Fluorokine MAP Cytokine Multiplex Elisa.	1 week
Secondary	Evaluate the correlation between the activity of CYPs and IFN-? levels	IFN-? blood concentrations will be measured by using the Fluorokine MAP Cytokine Multiplex Elisa.	1 week
Secondary	Assess if tocilizumab reverse the activity of CYP in patients with RA after 3 months of treatment	Comparison of CYP function before and 3 months after the beginning of the Tocilizumab treatment.	3 months
Secondary	Assess if SARS-CoV-2 infection modify pharmacokinetic parameters of concomitant medications which are CYPs substrates	Comparison of plasma concentrations of CYPs substrates, when COVID-19 patients received any CYPs substrates	3 months
Secondary	Evaluate the correlation between inflammatory markers, CYP function and intensity of fatigue (MFI) and pain (NRS)	Function and intensity of fatigue will be measured with the validated French version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory; pain will be measured with the numeric rating scale (NRS) 0 to 10 (0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain imaginable).	1 week
