Scientists probe why standard drug doses may fail obese patients

NCT ID NCT05589688

Summary

This study aims to understand how body composition, specifically lean muscle mass, affects how the antiviral drug acyclovir is processed and eliminated by the kidneys in people with different body weights. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood and urine of 20 healthy volunteers across a range of body mass indexes (BMI). The goal is to gather data to help doctors prescribe more accurate and effective doses for obese patients in the future.
