NCT ID NCT01286519
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how medicines are processed in the bodies of children under 8 who are receiving drugs not specifically approved for their age or condition. Researchers measure drug levels in blood, urine, and spinal fluid to understand absorption, distribution, and elimination. The goal is to fill a critical gap in knowledge about pediatric dosing.

If successful, this research could help doctors determine safer and more effective doses of common medicines for young children.
What could go wrong
