1. Annotation of DPWG Guideline for tramadol and CYP2D6
Summary
For CYP2D6 poor metabolizers (PM), select an alternative to tramadol (not oxycodone or codeine) and be alert for symptoms of insufficient pain relief. For CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizers (IM), be alert for symptoms of insufficient pain relief, and consider dose increase or select an alternative to tramadol (not oxycodone or codeine). For CYP2D6 ultrarapid metabolizers, use a 30% decreased dose and be alert for ADEs, or use an alternative to tramadol (not oxycodone or codeine).
Annotation
Note that the FDA released a safety announcement on 4/20/2017 stating that codeine and tramadol should not be used in children under 12 years.
The Royal Dutch Pharmacists Association - Pharmacogenetics Working Group has evaluated therapeutic dose recommendations for tramadol based on CYP2D6 genotypes [Article:21412232]. For PM and IM genotypes, they recommend selecting an alternative drug (not oxycodone or codeine) and/or being extra alert to symptoms of insufficient pain relief. For UM genotypes, they recommend using a 30% decreased dose and being alert for ADEs, or using an alternative drug (not oxycodone or codeine).
| Phenotype (Genotype) | Therapeutic Dose Recommendation | Level of Evidence | Clinical Relevance |
|---|---|---|---|
| PM (two inactive (*3-*8, *11-*16, *19-*21, *38, *40, *42) alleles) | Select alternative drug-not oxycodone or codeine- or be alert to symptoms of insufficient pain relief. | Published controlled studies of good quality* relating to phenotyped and/or genotyped patients or healthy volunteers, and having relevant pharmacokinetic or clinical endpoints. | Clinical effect (S): short-lived discomfort (< 48 hr) without permanent injury: e.g. reduced decrease in resting heart rate; reduction in exercise tachycardia; decreased pain relief from oxycodone; ADE resulting from increased bioavailability of atomoxetine (decreased appetite, insomnia, sleep disturbance etc.); neutropenia > 1.5x109/l; leucopenia > 3.0x109/l; thrombocytopenia > 75x109/l; moderate diarrhea not affecting daily activities; reduced glucose increase following oral glucose tolerance test. |
| IM (two decreased-activity (*9, *10, *17, *29, *36, *41) alleles or carrying one active (*1, *2, *33, *35) and one inactive (*3-*8, *11-*16, *19-*21, *38, *40, *42) allele, or carrying one decreased-activity (*9, *10, *17, *29, *36, *41) allele and one inactive (*3-*8, *11-*16, *19-*21, *38, *40, *42) allele) | Be alert to decreased efficacy. Consider dose increase. If response is still inadequate, select alternative drug- not oxycodone or codeine-or be alert to symptoms of insufficient pain relief. | Published controlled studies of good quality* relating to phenotyped and/or genotyped patients or healthy volunteers, and having relevant pharmacokinetic or clinical endpoints. | Clinical effect (S): short-lived discomfort (< 48 hr) without permanent injury: e.g. reduced decrease in resting heart rate; reduction in exercise tachycardia; decreased pain relief from oxycodone; ADE resulting from increased bioavailability of atomoxetine (decreased appetite, insomnia, sleep disturbance etc); neutropenia > 1.5x109/l; leucopenia > 3.0x109/l; thrombocytopenia > 75x109/l; moderate diarrhea not affecting daily activities; reduced glucose increase following oral glucose tolerance test. |
| UM (a gene duplication in absence of inactive (*3-*8, *11-*16, *19-*21, *38, *40, *42) or decreased-activity (*9, *10, *17, *29, *36, *41) alleles) | Reduce dose by 30% and be alert to ADEs (e.g., nausea, vomiting, constipation, respiratory depression, confusion, urinary retention) or select alternative drug (e.g., acetaminophen, NSAID, morphine-not oxycodone or codeine). | Published controlled studies of moderate quality* relating to phenotyped and/or genotyped patients or healthy volunteers, and having relevant pharmacokinetic or clinical endpoints. | Clinical effect (S): long-standing discomfort (48-168 hr) without permanent injury e.g. failure of therapy with tricyclic antidepressants, atypical antipsychotic drugs; extrapyramidal side effects; parkinsonism; ADE resulting from increased bioavailability of tricyclic antidepressants, metoprolol, propafenone (central effects e.g. dizziness); INR 4.5-6.0; neutropenia 1.0-1.5x109/l; leucopenia 2.0-3.0x109/l; thrombocytopenia 50-75x109/l. |

1. Annotation of FDA Label for tramadol and CYP2D6
Summary
The FDA-approved label for tramadol (ULTRAM) states that it is metabolized by CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, and that CYP2D6 poor metabolizers had approximately 20% higher concentrations of the drug as compared to extensive metabolizers. Additionally, concentrations of the metabolite M1 (O-desmethyltramadol; pharmacologically active) were 40% lower in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers as compared to extensive metabolizers.
Annotation
On April 20th 2017, the FDA released a safety announcement stating that they are restricting the use of codeine and tramadol in children, and recommending against the use of codeine and tramadol in breastfeeding mothers due to possible harm to their infants. Please refer to the link above for full details on the safety announcement.
Tramadol is an opioid and metabolized mainly via CYP2D6. Excerpts from the tramadol (ULTRAM) drug label:
Tramadol is extensively metabolized after oral administration by a number of pathways, including CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, as well as by conjugation of parent and metabolites...One metabolite (O-desmethyltramadol, denoted M1) is pharmacologically active in animal models. Formation of M1 is dependent on CYP2D6 and as such is subject to inhibition, which may affect the therapeutic response.
Approximately 7% of the population has reduced activity of the CYP2D6 isoenzyme of cytochrome P-450. These individuals are “poor metabolizers” of debrisoquine, dextromethorphan, tricyclic antidepressants, among other drugs. Based on a population PK analysis of Phase I studies in healthy subjects, concentrations of tramadol were approximately 20% higher in “poor metabolizers” versus “extensive metabolizers”, while M1 concentrations were 40% lower. Concomitant therapy with inhibitors of CYP2D6 such as fluoxetine, paroxetine and quinidine could result in significant drug interactions. In vitro drug interaction studies in human liver microsomes indicate that inhibitors of CYP2D6 such as fluoxetine and its metabolite norfluoxetine, amitriptyline and quinidine inhibit the metabolism of tramadol to various degrees, suggesting that concomitant administration of these compounds could result in increases in tramadol concentrations and decreased concentrations of M1. The full pharmacological impact of these alterations in terms of either efficacy or safety is unknown. Concomitant use of SEROTONIN re-uptake INHIBITORS and MAO INHIBITORS may enhance the risk of adverse events, including seizure and serotonin syndrome.

2. Annotation of HCSC Label for acetaminophen,tramadol and CYP2D6
Summary
The product monographs for tramadol and acetaminophen (APO-TRAMADOL/ACET) and tramadol (APO-TRAMADOL) note that patients who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers may have increased tramadol concentrations as compared to those who are CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers.
Annotation
Tramadol/acetaminophen (APO-TRAMADOL/ACET) and tramadol (APO-TRAMADOL) are used to manage moderate to moderately severe pain in adults. Excerpt from the APO-TRAMADOL/ACET and APO-TRAMADOL product monographs:
Approximately 7% of the population has reduced activity of the CYP2D6 isoenzyme of cytochrome P450. These individuals are "poor metabolizers"... Based on a population PK analysis of Phase I studies in healthy subjects, concentrations of tramadol were approximately 20% higher in "poor metabolizers" versus "extensive metabolizers", while M1 concentrations were 40% lower... The full pharmacological impact of these alterations in terms of either efficacy or safety is unknown.

Pharmacogenetics
Pharmacokinetics
Tramadol can be O-demethylated to the active metabolite O-desmethyltramadol (M1) by CYP2D6 [Article:19180260] and N-demethylated to M2 by CYP3A4 [Articles:15530129, 19180260] and CYP2B6 [Article:19180260].
CYP2D6*10 was associated with altered pharmacokinetics of tramadol in healthy Chinese subjects but CYP2D6*2 had no effect [Article:20456744].
Transport
ABCB1 did not transport of tramadol or metabolites in vitro [Article:19496778] although the ABCB1 variant [RSID:rs1045642] (3435C>T) has been associated with tramadol pharmacokinetics in vivo [Article:17265061]. Kanaan et al suggest that the PEPT1 transporter SLC15A1 may transport tramadol and although did not demonstrate this conclusively [Article:19496778].
Pharmacodynamics
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid that acts at OPRM1 (mu opioid receptor) [Article:20179508]. The M1 metabolite has a higher affinity for OPRM1 than the parent drug [Article:20179508]. Additional analgesic effects of tramadol occur via seratonergic pathways involving HTR7 in mice [Article:20179508] and HTR3 in human [Article:12032025] and norepinephrine neurotransmission [Article:19180260]. Tramadol is a racemic mixture where (+)tramadol inhibits serotonin reuptake and (-)tramadol inhibits norepinephrine reuptake [Article:15509185]. Serotonin syndrome may occur in patients taking combinations of tramadol and other agents that increase serotonin activity [Article:19180260].
