Acetaminophen Biomarkers

November 21, 2017 updated by: Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute

Identification of New Mechanistic Biomarkers of Adverse Response to Acetaminophen

This study is a non-intervention, multicenter study to address biomarkers of acetaminophen toxicity in children. Specifically, the study will examine acetaminophen (APAP) protein adducts and markers of liver injury in the blood samples of hospitalized children and adolescents who are receiving standard doses of acetaminophen, and children and adolescents who are status post acetaminophen overdose. Ultimately, the data generated from this study will be used to establish second generation biomarkers of acetaminophen toxicity, based on specific adduct proteins, which can be used in future risk assessment studies of children receiving acetaminophen.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 year to 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Children Ages 1-18

Group A - Hospitalized receiving acetaminophen

Group B - Healthy volunteers - no acetaminophen within 14 days

Group C - Acetaminophen Overdose - Hospitalized

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Group A:

  • Children ages 1-18 inclusive
  • Hospitalized children who are likely to receive or are receiving recommended doses of APAP

Group B:

  • Children with no APAP use in the past 14 days

Group C:

  • Children ages 1-18 inclusive

  • Time of APAP overdose is known or can be estimated within a two hour window

Exclusion Criteria:

Group A:

  • Acute or chronic APAP overdose within 14 days
  • Known history of liver disease or dysfunction

Group B:

  • APAP within the last 14 days
  • Known history of liver disease or dysfunction

Group C:

  • Chronic overdoses of APAP, defined as multiple time point ingestions of APAP

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
August 1, 2009

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
