Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Methadone

The management of patients with opioid addiction is a challenge insofar as many distractors or variability factors can interfere with the control of the addiction, whether they are psychological, psychiatric, environmental, pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic. Understanding this variability is potentially to be able to adjust a priori a dosage and to identify the factors of clinical response. Few population pharmacokinetic models exist for methadone and they generally concern the management of pain in palliative care patients or the management of opioid withdrawal syndrome in neonates. The hypothesis is therefore that the creation of such a model would make it possible to reduce patients' withdrawal periods, to set a target for plasma concentrations with a view to reducing dosages, and to empower the patient in his choice to monitor blood concentrations facilitated by a minimally invasive sampling device.

Treatment and study plan

Blood sampling

Biological

Patient will be subjected to 3 blood sampling over 24hours. At H0, H4 and H12-24.

For each one, one microsampling and one venipuncture

Other names: Volumetric absorptive microsampling

Primary outcomes

  1. Peak concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: 18 months

    To evaluate and estimate methadone/EDDP (metabolite) Cmax for patients treated for opioid addiction.

Secondary outcomes

  1. C12h-24h concentration

    Time frame: 18 months

    To evaluate and estimate methadone/EDDP (metabolite) concentration between 12 and 24h post-administration for patients treated for opioid addiction.

  2. Residual concentration (C0)

    Time frame: 18 months

    To evaluate and estimate residual methadone/EDDP (metabolite) concentration for patients treated for opioid addiction.
