NCT ID NCT03051282

Summary

This study aimed to understand why a common type of blood pressure medicine works better for some people than others. Researchers gave the drug enalapril to 21 healthy volunteers to see if differences in a specific liver gene affect how the body activates the medicine. The goal was to gather knowledge that could one day help doctors personalize medication doses based on a patient's genetics.
