Obesity Clinical Trial - Sleep Apnea & Obesity Affects on Morphine

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is one of the most common pediatric surgeries performed, and is estimated to comprise 530,000 procedures in children under 15 years of age. Historically, the leading cause for these procedures was recurrent infections; however, more recently surgical indications include sleep disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS). Pre-operative polysomnography (PSG) is recommended for all children with suspected OSAS prior to undergoing AT, although it is unclear whether sleep disordered breathing characteristics predict post-operative outcomes or complications.

Obesity has become an epidemic in the pediatric population. More recently, an increased population of obese children are presenting for AT with upper airway obstruction with or without tonsillar hypertrophy, which is similar to the adult etiology of OSAS. Obesity is a multisystem disease, causing fatty liver and cardiac disease, defects in glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, leptin resistance, and creates a state of chronic inflammation. Markers for inflammation, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, C-reactive protein (CRP), leptin, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10, are abnormal in obese patients and have also been linked to more severe OSAS disease in children even after controlling for BMI.

In pediatrics, medication dosing is based on an actual body-weight calculation, however, recent reports suggest that this dosing method is over-dosing patients with obesity. Therefore, increased respiratory complications after surgery may be related to inappropriate intra-operative opioid dosing.

Specific Aim 1 (SA1): To compare morphine pharmacokinetics in normal children <=12 years of age, non-obese children with severe OSAS, and obese children with severe OSAS. The investigators hypothesize that obesity independently enhances morphine pharmacokinetics.

Specific Aim 2 (SA2): To determine whether biomarkers related to obesity, chronic inflammation, and OSAS predict changes to morphine pharmacokinetics. The investigators hypothesize that inflammatory and obesity-related biomarkers are elevated in overweight children with OSAS, more so in obese children with OSA, compared to lean children with OSAS. In addition, the investigators hypothesizes that leptin independently is linked to altered morphine pharmacokinetics.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
