This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Summary

This study looks at how children aged 0-6 process the painkiller oxycodone after surgery. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood and check certain genes that affect how the drug is broken down. The goal is to understand why some children may have more side effects or need different doses. About 68 children having specific surgeries will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
oral oxycodone
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors give safer, more effective pain relief to children after surgery by tailoring doses based on genetics.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study that only observes drug levels and genetics—it won't directly change treatment yet. Results may not apply to all children or surgeries.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * A total of 68 generally healthy, opioid-naive children, aged 0-6 years, scheduled as in-patient surgery for ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement/revision or Craniotomy (Neurosurgery service), Cleft lip/palate repair (plastic surgery service) and hypospadias repair or ureteral urethral reimplantation (genitourinary surgery service) will be enrolled in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Children will be excluded if they are currently taking any medications which are CYP3A4 or CYP2D6 inhibitors/inducers or have a history of allergy or hypersensitivity to oxycodone, have any condition that might interfere with GI absorption, distribution, hepatic metabolism or renal excretion of r oxycodone, or a diagnosis of sleep apnea or impaired respiratory reserve.
