Study Summary

HYPOTHESIS: The response to a given dose of morphine given via a spinal anesthetic for cesarean section will be affected by the genetics of the woman's mu-opioid receptor Most women undergoing elective cesarean section (CS) receive spinal anesthesia, and most receive a dose of preservative free morphine with the spinal anesthetic. Spinally-administered morphine provides 16-24 hours of high quality pain relief. The dose administered is usually 75-200 micrograms, but surprisingly few dose-response studies exist. The mu-opioid receptor (OPRM1 gene)is the site of action of endogenous opioid peptides and opioid analgesic drugs like morphine. There is a common genetic variant of this receptor at the 40th amino acid of the protein, with asparagine and asparate being present in different people. The less common variant (aspartate), present in 25-30% of the overall American population (higher in Asian populations, lower in Blacks) at codon 40 that has been shown in many studies to affect opioid analgesia. This will be a randomized, blinded study of 3 doses of spinal morphine (50, 100, 150 micrograms) given to women undergoing elective cesarean section at term pregnancy. 300 women will be studied (100 per dose). Blood will be obtained for genotyping of OPRM1 and other genes that may affect pain and analgesic responses. The primary outcome will be the amount of intravenous morphine patients self-administer in the 24 hours postsurgery. The primary outcome (use of intravenous morphine) will be analyzed by dose, and within each dose group by genotype of OPRM1. Secondary outcomes will include pain scores every 6 hours, satisfaction with analgesia, side effects (itching, nausea/vomiting) by dose and genotype. It is anticipated that there will be an interim data analysis at 150 evaluable subjects for assessment of the dose response to morphine in the overall population; then a final analysis at 300 subjects for the genetic effect assessment.
