Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
CYP2D6 is an enzyme found in the human body that is involved in the breakdown (metabolism) of drugs such as dextromethorphan. Some people will break down these drugs quickly while others will break them down slowly. These are referred to as different metabolizer phenotypes. If a drug is metabolized too quickly the drug may be less effective, while if the drug is metabolized too slowly there may be harmful side effects. Hence the dose of the drug may have to be adjusted to take into account the speed at which it is metabolized by CYP2D6. This study aims to find out about the possible relationship between CYP2D6 dextromethorphan metabolizer phenotype and the risk of relapse after primaquine treatment against vivax malaria.

Who can participate?
People who participated in the OXTREC 179-12 study (ISRCTN82366390) in Army Batalyon, Sragen, Central Java and who provided informed consent for genetic studies will be tested for the CYP2D6 gene.

What does the study involve?
A single dose of the over-the-counter drug dextromethorphan (DXM) for relieving cough will be given to all 26 relapsing participants and 36 randomly chosen non-relapsing participants. Based on the metabolism of that drug, which occurs exclusively through CYP2D6, we will classify the participants as fast, intermediate, or slow metabolizers.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The participants will benefit directly by knowing whether they can be successfully treated for the malarial infection or not. The drug being given is a very small dose of a common cough medicine. At this dose we expect few side effects and none being serious. There is a slight risk with taking blood from the veins. The research team will manage all risk.

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
The study will run from May to June 2014.

Where is the study run from?
This study is collaboration of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, and Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology in Jakarta with Eijkman-Oxford Clinical Research Unit, Jakarta and the Indonesian Army Medical Corps.

Who is funding the study?
Medicine for Malaria Venture (MMV), Switzerland.

Scientific titleCase-control study of single-dose dextromethorphan CYP2D6 phenotype among patients previously dosed with primaquine and relapsing compared to those not relapsing
Study hypothesisThis study aims to explore the possible relationship between CYP2D6 dextromethorphan metabolizer phenotype and risk of relapse following directly observed primaquine therapy against relapse of vivax malaria.

ConditionMalaria
InterventionAll subjects will be screened up to no more than 10 days prior to study drug administration and fasted overnight (minimum of 8 hours) prior to study drug administration. Subjects will receive a single oral dose of dextromethorphan 30 mg (Kimia Farma Tbk, Bandung, Indonesia) on the morning of Day 0. Serial blood and urine samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis of dextromethorphan (DXM) and dextrorphan, the dextromethorphan metabolite. Subjects will be confined beginning the day prior to dosing (Day 0) and may be discharged from the study unit following the 24-hour procedures. The subjects will be discharged from the study following the completion of all end of study procedures on Day 6 ± 1 day. Total blood volume taken during the study is 120 ml (8 tablespoons).

PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Primaquine, dextromethorphan
Primary outcome measure1. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as AUC0-24, AUC0-lqc, AUC0-inf, Cmax and Tmax will be estimated from plasma concentration-time data. Data from subjects prematurely ending participation in the study may be excluded from pharmacokinetic data evaluation
2. Odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence interval (CI), and P values comparing proportions of CYP2D6 phenotype among relapsing patients compared to those not relapsing will be calculated using the Fisher’s exact test. The CI that included 1 and/or the P values that were >0.05 were considered insignificant
