CYP2D6 Genotype-guided Management of Opioid Analgesics in Patients Undergoing Elective Ventral Hernia Repairs

April 30, 2026 updated by: University of Florida

Feasibility and Efficacy of CYP2D6 Genotype-guided Management of Opioid Analgesics in Patients Undergoing Elective Ventral Hernia Repairs: A Pilot Pragmatic Trial

Pilot pragmatic trial using an implementation science approach to determine the feasibility of a CYP2D6-guided opioid prescribing for patients undergoing elective VHRs compared to usual care. Assess the efficacy (PROMIS Pain Intensity and Hernia-Related QOL) of a CYP2D6-guided opioid prescribing approach for patients undergoing elective VHRs.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: CYP2D6 genotype testing-treatment
CYP2D6 genotype testing performed preoperatively with results used to guide prescribing of opioid analgesics during the postoperative period to control pain. In addition, participants will receive standard of care postoperative pain medications.
CYP2D6 genotype testing for assessment of medication metabolism to guide prescription of postoperative pain medication
Active Comparator: CYP2D6 genotype testing-control
CYP2D6 genotype testing performed preoperatively, results will be delayed until after operative procedure. Participants will receive standard of care postoperative pain medication prescriptions for pain management.
Participants will receive standard postoperative pain medications
