NCT ID NCT02044497
First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the painkiller oxycodone is absorbed and broken down in children aged 0-6 years after surgery. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood and check specific genes that affect drug metabolism. The goal is to understand why some children may have more side effects or less pain relief, helping doctors personalize dosing in the future. 68 children undergoing certain surgeries will participate.
