Brief summary

Psychotropic drugs are frequently used in children and adolescents in France with a prescription rate of 2.5%. Antipsychotics (PA) and antidepressants (AD), each concern 0.3% of the pediatric population (Kovess et al., 2015). Despite appropriate pharmacological treatment, some patients are drug-resistant and have persisting symptoms and ineffective psychotropic treatments. These children and adolescents are generally exposed to many psychotropic molecules and often to poly-therapy. Most psychotropic treatments, especially AP and AD, are metabolised at the hepatic level by cytochrome P450 and in particular by CYP2D6. Duplication / multiplication of the CYP2D6 gene induces too rapid metabolism of drugs. Demonstration of a CYP2D6 abnormality has a direct impact on the management of the patient and on the clinical decisions of the clinician. Thus, knowledge of individual metabolism will decrease the failure of treatment, improve quality of life and therapeutic compliance.

Detailed description

Psychotropic drugs are frequently used in children and adolescents in France with a prescription rate of 2.5%. Antipsychotics (PA) and antidepressants (AD) each concern 0.3% of the pediatric population (Kovess et al., 2015). Despite appropriate pharmacological treatment, some patients are drug-resistant and have persisting symptoms and ineffective psychotropic treatments. These children and adolescents are generally exposed to many psychotropic molecules and often to poly-therapy. Additionally, hospitalizations for child psychiatry, sometimes of prolonged duration, are frequent for these patients. In France, to date, the psychiatrist practitioner rarely uses pharmacogenetic evaluation as a complementary tool for prescribing psychotropic drugs. Nevertheless, an individualized prescription taking into consideration the patient's individual metabolism could greatly improve the benefit and reduce the risk of psychotropic treatments in the pediatric population. Most psychotropic treatments, especially AP and AD, are metabolised at the hepatic level by cytochrome P450 and in particular by CYP2D6. Duplication / multiplication of the CYP2D6 gene induces too rapid metabolism of the drugs (ultrafast metabolizer). It is linked to a clinical inefficiency of treatments, and concerns up to 10% of the general population in southern Europe (Scordo et al., 2004). In a preliminary study in Nice, an abnormality of CYP2D6 was found in 4 of the 7 patients tested with drug-resistant and / or with numerous adverse effects to the AP, of which 3 of the 5 pharmacologically resistant patients shows a duplication of the gene. Demonstration of a CYP2D6 abnormality has a direct impact on the management of the patient and on the clinical decisions of the clinician. Thus, knowledge of individual metabolism will decrease the failure of treatment, improve quality of life and therapeutic compliance.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
prevalence of a CYP2D6 duplication or polymorphismsAt baselinestudy the prevalence of a CYP2D6 duplication or polymorphisms associated with an ultrafast metabolizing phenotype in a population of children and adolescents who are drug-resistant to antipsychotic and antidepressant psychotropic drugs. performed by analysis of salivar sample

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Global Severity of illnessAt baselineClinical Global Impression scale (échelle CGI-I)
Severity of illness for childrenAt baselineChildren's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS)
Current and previous psychotropic treatmentAt baselineNumber of different molecules (antipsychotic antidepressant) used during the therapeutic history of the patient, duration of treatment with each molecule, type and maximum dose of current and previous psychotropic treatments.
Psychiatric diagnosis and comorbiditiesAt baselineDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 DSM5
New anomalies of CYP2D6 geneAt baselineTo look for any other abnormality of the CYP2D6 gene not known to be associated with an ultrafast metabolizing phenotype
Description of the clinical phenotype of patientsAt baselineThe characterization of the clinical phenotype will be carried out on the one hand by the standardized diagnostic interview MINI Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview
Side effects in different psychotropic treatmentsAt baselineType and severity of the adverse effects identified during the various psychotropic treatments will be collected. This collection will be carried out through the interrogation and study of the medical file
