10 drugs, 10 volunteers: scientists map Body's drug processing
NCT ID NCT01188525
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study gave 10 healthy volunteers a single dose of 10 common drugs at the same time to see how their bodies break them down. The goal was to measure key factors like drug levels and half-life to understand each person's unique metabolic profile. The results could help personalize medicine in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 10 common drugs (acetaminophen, caffeine, dextromethorphan, digoxin, memantine, midazolam, omeprazole, repaglinide, rosuvastatin, tolbutamide)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors personalize drug dosing based on a person's unique metabolism, reducing side effects and improving treatment effectiveness.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase study in just 10 healthy people. It only measures how drugs are processed, not whether they work for any disease. Results may not apply to sick patients.
